Got a Corona Old Boy!
Greetings everyone!
Day off work today, I thought I would drive up to Sacramento, about 80 miles from where I live and stop by the Briar Patch Pipe Cigar Store. I do business with them over the net, and order tobacco from them. Always receive great service from them!
I thought it would be fun to meet those folks in person.
Was great meeting those folks, very nice people to do business with. Long story short, I ended up buying a Corona Old Boy!!
Now I know what all the raves are about regarding this lighter! Love it!
I was invited to sample some tobacco, I told the gentleman, "You mean you can smoke in here?" He said, yes of course! You cannot do that in most places in the San Francisco Bay area where I live. 
Great way to spend a few hours! I could have got a little bit better price else where on the net, but nice to support a "local business" when I can.
Best to all!
Bob

Re: Got a Corona Old Boy!
Congrats Bob, on the new lighter. An Old Boy none-the-less. If I didn't like my Zippo so much, I might think about getting one myself some day.
Enjoy your new lighter.

Re: Got a Corona Old Boy!
I got my Old Boy a few years ago and never have been sorry. I use the Old Boy in the house, and the Zippo outside. The one down side to the Old Boy is that it is pretty much useless if even a slight breeze is blowing.
Steve, have you tried the new formula fuel in the Zippo yet? Cuts down on the naptha taste considerably.

Re: Got a Corona Old Boy!
Bob...good deal! Never owned an Old Boy...maybe you could send it to me...for testing purposes only! I promise to send it back "right away!" 
It's good to support your local B&M when possible. I try to get into JFH whenever I'm in Springfield. They have a great lounge area, and of course, those yummy "Middle Earth" tobaccos.
Bet it was a pleasant surprise to find a pipe-friendly shop after all the anti-attitude in SF.

I am a real fan of OT actually. I work a four ten schedule, but for the past couple of years my department has been short handed with no end in sight, so I have been able to work most every Friday.
The OT check goes in the savings account and we use a chunk of that for projects around the house, (Thats how I painted it this year.)
My lovely bride and I have a deal. She dips in when she needs some foolish woman thing, and I dip for important stuff like pipes.
It never has worked as well for me as for her. She always seems to need more "stuff", and for some reason I never seem to be able to tell her no.

Absolutely Scott!
Fortunately for me, I never have been very high maintainance. I don't require a lot to be happy.
