I can see using the nib to hold my Wills's cigarette whilst crosscutting.<br /><br />Eh, since I don't smoke anymore I'd still have to come up with a better use for it...<br /><br />EthanEthanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10762615024207105680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-58146883091140699442009-03-15T08:04:00.000-08:002009-03-15T08:04:00.000-08:00Rob - Totally tongue in cheek!

Thanks, glad you enjoy the blog.<BR/><BR/>Kari - Yeah!<BR/><BR/>David - Or at least more about what a 1930's cigarette trading card says about it. ;) When you do get a saw, don't be intimidated by sharpening it - it's not that hard.<BR/><BR/>Joey - Knowledge is power, and apparently W.D. and H.O. Wills were power brokers!<BR/><BR/>Bob - If I only could! Much like an Egyptologist who finds only a shard of hieroglyphics and must spend the rest of his life cursing the lost knowledge beyond his grasp, the rest of the Wills series, their Rosetta Stone if you will, is lost to me. <B>Oh, the humanity!</B>Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-91739352388706648322009-03-15T06:31:00.000-08:002009-03-15T06:31:00.000-08:00OK, that's neat.Now, how many other mysteries can ...OK, that's neat.<BR/><BR/>Now, how many other mysteries can Will's Cigarettes solve for us? I see that this is #35 in the 2nd series of 50.
