I collect allsorts of cigarette lighters

I have been smoking since I was a teenager in the late seventies and in the last couple of years I`ve got a lot of Chinese heavy brass petrol lighters from aliexpress and alibaba and ebay plus auction sites.
I have some unusual ones and petrol lighters that make zippos look like toys.

 

Here`s some more - I love novelty lighters, metal pipe lighters, clippers and I put keyrings and lanyards on lighters so they don`t get lost or stolen.

This is a 50 cal shell case butane clipper.

Beautiful Chinese glass and nickel plated heavy brass petrol lighter with transparent fuel tank.

I even have lighters on key rings and other junk ! I don`t take the 2 cumbersome cluttered keyrings out with me - just the one with the mini knives and folding white plastic handle scissors.

 

Very interesting. Not a smoker, but I do love all things metal.

 

Neat collection!

 

I smoke a cigar every now and then so I have a few decent lighters.

 

Oh you`ve got some lovely lighters Toothpick - I`ve not had a cigar or pipe for yonks.
I must sack the cigs - they`re bad.

I see you`ve got an Apple keyboard - they last forever.
I have bluetooth / wifi keyboards and some IBM model M`s which are fabulous; but clicky buckling spring mechanical and noisy - worth it though - my gf can do 107 w/pm on one whereas I`m a hunt and pecker doing 30 w/pm haha !
All the heavy cream ones need a strip down and alcohol bath.
I have 2 ASUS ROG multiboot linux/windows/android for PC - laptops and 2 desktops - a workstation and a server with 30 hard drives on them I`m not kidding - there`s 17 on one laptop.
I`ve been seriously into `puters since 1980.

 

You’ve got some mileage on those keyboards….

 

I was a journalist writing parapolitics and geopolitics and also copywriter doing Hi-fi advert campaigns Toothpick.
That`s another career to add to phytopharmacology, herbalism and system analyst that developed from too many hobbies and reading.
I like to have a few strings to my bow.
