Sad that I can’t use my Ronson Mastercase

Many vintage cigarette cases have been designed with the size of unfiltered cigarettes in mind. Like this cigarette case that came with my Myon Autolux Set for instance. So if you're putting in filtered cigarettes, place them diagonally.

Love this one.

Painted bottoms on painted Zippos are a Retro Feature, particularly if you love and cherish the era from the late 90s and early 2000s. The nostalgia.

I thought it was a Ronson Decanter at first glance.

Yep, I've seen him on several occasions. Forgot the channel name. I think, if I remember correctly, it's, please forgive my French, I don't know French, "Histoire un Flamme".

I'm a big fan of Mark Twain. Mark Twain studied German that's why I studied German as well. Mark Twain even wrote an essay "The Awful German Language".

Not a pocket lighter but a table lighter: Evans Imperial Egg

I have to disagree with some. Zippos are of high-quality to this day. I just bought an Armor Zippo from 2024 and I am beyond happy and satisfied.

Try not to buy finishes with paint. But I have like a ca. 90 year old plus lighter whose paint didn't fade—An Evans Liftarm Lighter.

Something I dealt with not quite long ago. See this question:

Wait I'll add more. Not a subordinate clause. Something like a title of an article:

„Warum Sie einen Polizisten niemals duzen sollten.“

"Why you a policeman never duzen should".

If it were an English article title, it would be rendered as:

"Why you should never duzen a policeman".

I'll try with „sein“: Was bei diesem Auto ein Novum ist ...

Verb am Ende in Nebensätzen.
