    So I went to buy some cigars today from a local high-end cigar retailer. I was paroozing the lighters in the glass case when the following conversation took place between me and the salesman:

    Me: Hey, that's a nice looking lighter. (Looking at the 007 Casino Royal Commemorative lighter.)
    Salesman: It sure is (as he's getting it out of case for me to look at.)
    Me: How much is it?
    Salesman: It's $1,067.00.
    Me: Wow! You really have to be into lighters to buy this one.
    Salesman: Yes, it's made out of pure palladium.
    Me: Was this lighter actually in the movie?
    Salesman: No.
    Me: Was there a lighter like it in the movie?
    Salesman: No.
    Me: Oh, okay. (as I hand the lighter back to the salesman.)

    I never knew that there were thousand dollar cigar lighters out there. I'm pretty sure that the wooden match that I used to light my cigar this evening achieved the same results as the 007 Casino Royal Commemorative lighter would have, but perhaps it didn't do it with as much panache. Evidently there is a market out there for the uber-high end lighter crowd, so who of you out there has one? (Pictures of your uber-high end lighter would be nice too.)

    Dupont lighters are usually quite expensive. I had one, but lost it a while ago.

    That's pretty much exactly why I don't think that I would want to have a thousand dollar lighter.
