Pudding, you must have one helluva collection of lighters and cutters!

Yeah, I have schittload of Xikar stuff. But hey, I don't collect anything else, so... it's my one vice!
I Googled and saw an image of the set - wow! But you know, for this beautiful set that you won at a great price, I could *never* take out into public. For one thing, I'm afraid I might lose it, someone would steal it, or the clumsy in me would drop it (...especially after a few drinks...). Heck, I'd be apprehensive to use it at home!
Yes, this set I will use only at home, and only while sober, and very carefully so I never drop them. Too gorgeous to not take such precautions.
For going out, walking around, drinking bourbon and being a bit tipsy, holding other things while cutting a cigar, and other drop-prone situations and environments, I have a "rough service" Xikar setup consisting of an X8 cutter and Stratosphere lighter. Both have very highly damage-resistant finishes (X8 is a durable black resin, Stratosphere is a hard rubber). I haven't been able to "ding" or scratch or mark either of them yet, even after many drops onto concrete and other impact events. Also, functionally they're top-notch, excellent cuts and excellent lights.
If you need a tough-as-nails cutter and lighter set you can mistreat with no damage, consider that pairing. Also lifetime warranty, so even if you back your truck over them or otherwise break/destroy them (which isn't easy to do), they get turned into new ones anyway. Forever.
Oh, for extra redneck points, make a single custom-fitted carrying sheath that holds both the X8 and Stratosphere.... out of black Gorilla Tape (like duct tape but thicker and stronger). It's fun to do, it's practical, and the sheath is almost as tough as the two things inside it!
But, bottomline, nice snag! (...but what are you going to do with all those $100 bills that you used to use to light your cigars with?...[sarcasm] )
$100 bills are made for buying commission-free, ultra-low-expense, well-diversified ETF shares, not for lighting cigars! 🇨🇮
