I bought this Ronson butane lighter in Tokyo about 12 years ago. I contacted Ronson to get more info about it, and they told me that it was made for overseas (non-US) markets only. I didn't use it very much, so it still works perfectly. It has just a few minor blemishes that, to my eye, don't...
I've had this Atoll exotic leather cigar case for about ten years, but have barely used it. It holds three cigars of about corona/robusto size. I don't remember Atoll's designation for this model, but I'd call it a gray-brown leather with a wooden accent piece that appears to be rosewood. The...
I'm selling a gently used pair of brown Allen Edmonds Wilbert, size 9E. Other than normal wear for shoes that have been worn about 15 times (in good weather) and conditioned regularly, they're in great shape. They look fantastic with khakis and jeans. I'll include an almost-full bottle of...

My current summer favorite is Acqua di Parma Colonia. For the other seasons, I like Floris Elite, Floris Vetiver (sadly discontinued), and Aqua Velva Musk.
I don't have any flex nibs, but have written with them and enjoyed the effect.
Jim, the problem you're experiencing with your Lamy could be due to the paper or ink.
I agree with the advice to take it in steps. It would be a shame to spend a lot of money on a complete wardrobe, only to realize later that much of it isn't really you after all.
Shoes are a great place to start. One of my first transitioning-up purchases was a pair of AE Wilbert. They...
