If I have to go for a gun while smoking, then step one is to flick the lit ciggie at my attacker while doing so; most folks tend to instinctively duck/dodge/flinch away from objects flying at their face, especially red hot ones. Might just buy that extra half-second.

D.W., I always thought that the shank/tenon would break before you really got it deep into anything, although I suppose I wouldn't have to actually drive it into an eye to get the necessary moment I'd need.

Kirstens are those metal-shanked ones, right? That'd make quite a weapon. Since I smoke mostly deep bends (all but 2 are oom's), I guess I'll have to stick with my knife.

On an almost related note, which one of the op-center books was it where there's a pipe/knife duel?

Cigar as a deterrent ???

As I recall, Bill Clinton tried to use one to keep Monica Lewinski from attacking him, and it didn't stop her , she just kept a' cummin.

I recommend an extremely tight wrapped Parodi that has been lit with a butane lighter shoved either in the eye socket or up a nostril, kind of like one should employ a 25 automatic if that's all they have.
