How's the Old Boy in your pocket?

Well... I'm all atwitter... sitting here with my Old Boy in my hand. It's not that big, but it is weighty in the palm. And it works perfectly... a flip of the thumb and a quick stroke heats it up.

I was worried that the little tubes and stuff on the top would make it catch or open in my pocket, but they don't. And I like the looks of it in general... all the fittings sprouting out of the top make it look so... steampunk.

I like it. Thanks for the advice, guys!

I carry mine in my pocket everyday and its never caught on anything. I forget its there until I need it. The one time I misplaced it I ordered a second immediately.

About once a month I clean up the nooks and crannies with a q-tip.

I don't have an Old Boy yet, althogh I would love to. I do carry my Zippo in my pocket every day, and never even notice it is there. I never smoke away from home, but I always like to have my lighter with me. My wife asks why, and I tell her if I ever get stranded on a desert island I will be able to start a fire and survive. I should have been a Boy Scout.
