In case you thought you became cooler than me during the hiatus, you ain't cooler than me lighting my pipe with this Touch Tip bad boy.

Here I was, perfectly content with my fire makers and this shows up.

Very cool, indeed.

You can find touch tip lighters on ebay or in some antique shops, but it seem best to get one at

He seems a good guy and may have a monopoly on repair parts and knowledge of Touch Tip and other lighters.

I heard of these before; the Maltese Falcon rings a bell. Yours looks very big.

Mine is similar in size to the one in the movie except mine is a post war model (& without the clock). Mine is about 4" tall, 3" long and about 2" wide.

I am about 20% into the book. So far it is OK, but mostly just low drama war stories involving the dog. I expect it improves.
