A more serious competitor to the TW discharger - alluded to in the above historical note - was a 2-inch universal discharger which would entail a complete revamp of British grenade stores, with the replacement of the service Mills HE grenade and all signalling and smoke grenades with new 2-inch designs, and involving changes of fuzing from time to percussion/impact for the HE grenades . GHQ France had long wanted to move to smaller, lighter HE grenades (troops could carry more, they would have greater range, and they would be more economical in materials) and much experimental work was carried out from early 1917 to beyond the end of hostilities. Finally, after much effort and hardship, the 2-inch HE No.54 grenade was introduced in 1923 (and a little later 2-inch smoke grenades trialled), but only saw service until the early 1930s, when it was realized that the greater payloads of 2.5-inch grenades were a good thing.

Cigar connoisseurs know the value of a good cigar box or humidor. Humidors safely store cigars at the right temperature so they don’t retain moisture and deteriorate in quality. Depending on the size and type of cigar, a cigar cutter is also an important accessory for the consummate cigar smoker. There are guillotine cutters, cigar scissors, V-cutters and punch cutters. These tools are useful, but, as part of a 19th-century upgrade for your contemporary desk, antique tobacco accessories are also a fun way to integrate personal expression into your workday.

In the 2001 Russian film Lions Share, the hero has a lighter in the shape of a gun. When in the end he confronts the (armed) traitor, he pulls out this lighter to light his cigarette as they talk. But when the traitor lets his guard down, he shoots him with it, revealing that it was not just a lighter. The 1997 George of the Jungle has an inversion: Lyle shoots at George with a pistol that he thought was a novelty lighter (the native porters had switched his lighter for an actual pistol as a prank).

Police believe it was probably not a prank, but an irresponsible act by a traveller who wanted to discard the item as it would not have been allowed on an aircraft.

I would ask people to exercise a little common sense if they do possess such items."
