How many cutters/lighters do you have?

3 cutters: Xikar Xi2, Xikar MTX scissors, and a cheap v-cut. I also have a couple cheap guillotines, but never use them since I got the Xi2 years ago.

3 lighters: Xikar Element (precursor to the ELX), Colibri Wellington (soft flame, flint), and a Ronson Jetlite of course.

Now all of those I can justify having - different lighters for different occasions for example. I use the Ronson camping, the Colibri indoors, and the Xikar well...anytime really. But there are 3 other lighters that I want:
Alec Bradley Burner
IM Corona Double Corona
Vector Titan

How could I justify getting those?

Ummmm I have over 30 lighters, probably 15 cutters. Vector Titan is discontinued so if you don't buy one now, it will be gone! <<< Justification #1

Yeah, but you work in the industry - how many of those did you buy?

In general, I don't like buying things for myself unless I NEED it and 99% of the time I don't need it. I also have several expensive hobbies, so do I buy that box of cigars or a new lighter, or do I buy that new golf club I've been eyeing, or that new 9mm pistol?

I like your justification for the Titan though.

I bought all but 2 of the lighters, 2 were samples, bought all of the cutters. And I DO NEED all of them... I have 5 end tables in my porch that I smoke near. Each one has a single, double, and triple (or quad) torch lighter and a guillotine and a punch cutter. Do you really expect me to get up and walk 5 feet if I decide my cigar needs a touch up and I don't have a single flame lighter on that specific table? Come on! What is this, a work out?!

I have one vector that I purchased, and two lighters were gifts with orders. I also have a few Ronson Jetlites scattered about. I have one cutter, Xikar X8 as well as a punch built into the lighter I purchased. Hopefully will have a Xikar XV V-cutter on it's way via cigarbid soon.

2 lighters: Xikar ELX and a Ronson Jetlite. The ELX was bought as a souvanier and it stays at home. The Jetlite is for taking out so I don't lose the more expensive lighter.

4 cutters: the punch on the ELX, a cheap guillotine I bought, a cheap guillotine that came with a travel case I got for Christmas and a Xikar XV.

Two cheap cutters, a cheap v cutter I just snagged this weekend, a few ronson jetlites, a CI cheap torch lighter, an engraved Zippo and multiple bics floating around in case the others don't work.

Some day I'll spring for a decent cutter and a fancy lighter.

A cheap guillotine and a scissor cutter. I need to get a new quality guillotine as my cheap one seems rather dull when cutting...

2 lighters - A Ronson and a coleman jet lighter originally for camping, but works fine for gars too. Also a few packs of matches that one B&M always gives when making a purchase.
