Cool... I don't smoke but I use matches to light our creaky old gas cooker. Every time I want to make a cuppa joe I use matches as well.

I'd love to find matches that can be lit w/o that abrasive strip, like in the old films...

Say, it's not an Aga Cooker is it?

Also, for some interesting old matchbooks, see Jim Lileks' collection.

Nah... it is some nondescript brand - like a Mr. Happy Shopper cooker version. It isn't ours - we're renting.

The only reason I use matches it that the automatic starter doesn't work and I can't be arsed to have the rental agency arrange for it to be fixed!

Anyhow - I like using them... it makes me feel like I'm living in the past!
