A lot of
people collect things. I collect bottle caps and make fridge magnets out of
them; Clipper lighters; cigar boxes which act as memory boxes for other
keepsakes and cigar bands/labels in a little journal with information on each
cigar. My favorite cigars are Acid Krush Classics - Blue Connecticut, by the
way. But, meh... Drew Estate have a tendency to spoon out of control if you
don't watch the ember.
Anyways,
Clippers! It must be something about the way they are shaped and how colorful
and handy they are. I enjoy things that are practical as well as aesthetically
pleasing. I stopped collecting them when my partner, Sean, gave me his Zippo -
he'd carried it everywhere with him for years and wanted me to have something
of his while I was in England without him. I almost feel bad
about cutting back (and nearly entirely refraining from) smoking. It's too bad they don't seem to sell Clippers over here. I'd still like to continue collecting them, even if I don't get to use them.
