  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Well, I was over at the Zippo site messing around - looking to see if they really do have an odorless fuel. Turns out they have a "Low Odor" fuel.

Good enough for me lol!

So I went ahead and designed a custom lighter to go with it... What do you guys think? It was a photo I took of a Illusione 68. When I first did it, I had the whole photo on it including my hands. The wife was making up all kinds of stories as to what it looked like, so I cropped it to look like this. To plain? Bottom right would be my surname.


No offence taken if you don't like it. I am torn. Oh - and does anyone have a coupon code for Zippo? 10 and change for shipping - ouch!

Thanks!

Cool. Didn't know they did customs. Nice image on that one. I'd keep the name off it but that's just my preference.
Hey, you know butane inserts for Zippo ( third party ) are out there, right?

I like it a lot. IMHO, I would leave your name off of it. But again, it's custom and if you like it then leave it. I think it would look a lot better without it and just have the composition of the cigar, smoke and the black background of it. Keep it simple. You don't want to overkill.

I can see the knives... but I can't write my name large enough on my lighters without people still walking off with them arg - lol! If I am going to start a fire, I'll use a Bic :).
Well I'm an old fart now, but one time you young bucks go over your friend's house talking about that great wrestling match with some A.H. at the bar and then realize you can't light your cigarette and that genius moment becomes comes perfectly clear lol.

OH I see what you are saying - don't leave anything behind that someone can track you by! Well that might work in Jersey where sub-divisions have more people than the entire state of KS lol!
