    How do You Know it's a Quality Pipe ?

    I know that Missouri Meerschaum dry them for two years. I put mine on radiator for a couple of hours, just to dry it enough to prevent mould. I'm just going to let it dry for a couple of years, and hope for the best.

    Opinions on Kiribi lighters

    I've settled for putting a pipe insert in my Zippo. It's the only thing that's reliable outdoors. Indoors I use the Zippo to ignite a flame transference device, (aka a spill), which o then use to light my pipe.
