Zippo Slim?

[MavErik]

So gents I may have stumbled onto something that I am wondering, if others of you already figured out. I grabbed a pipe and reached for my full size Zippo with a butane soft flame insert. Instead I saw a Slim model that I recently found in a box of junk, and grabbed it.

I’ve never used a Slim model for a pipe. Shockingly, it is rather almost perfect. The smaller windguard on the Slim allows it to fit perfectly into the smoking chamber when the level recedes below the top. I know, it probably isn’t terribly practical. However, I kinda like it though.

What are your thoughts or experiences?

FYI, the lighter is from 1971 and is from the ship I served on when in the Navy back in the 90’s.

I don't see why you'd need to get into the chamber since the flame doesn't need to touch the tobacco and I've never had an issue with it. But eiither way sweet lighter.

Point taken, I meant that I can lean the flame down into it. I smoke taller chamber pipes.
