I would stick with matches; since it appears youre carrying no knife or other decent striker a ferrocerium (flint) rod wont do much good unless maybe you can strike a spark off a sharp edge on the cigarette case. You have definately made me look at my blackberry in a new light. If it didnt belong to my employer I would dismantle it right now to look for free space. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
