I've also taken to rolling my own, I find I spend about half the money I normally would, and I smoke a fair bit less than when I was buying packs, I guess because I have to 'work' at making smokes.
My lighter was a gift from some employees when I managed a production cell at JDS Uniphase. It's a silver Zippo with "CSN Death Squad" engraved on it, stemming from a joke I made about forcing everyone in our cell (named CSN), to get a 'Death Squad' tattoo. Apparently, the guy at the engraving booth was a big metalhead and was so excited that he got to engrave 'Death' on something that he carved a small design on the back of the lighter for free. It's one of the few things I own with a cool story behind it.
