Any Expirience With The IM Corona Double Lighter ? Are They Suitable For Pipes?

[Celius]

IM Corona seems to have reissued the Double model, which is vased on the St. Dupont lighters design wise.
The price is unfortunately almost double the price (pun intended) of Old Boys as well.

Anyone has expirience with them? Are they worth it?
They are advertised as cigar lighters. Will they work as pipe lighters?

I have a lighter like that made by Corona, but branded Savinelli. It shoots the soft flame out sideways and has worked flawlessly since I bought it over 30 years ago. The best lighter I've ever owned. (The gold plating is wearing off, but the brass underneath makes it less noticeable.) I don't know if they still make this style though, as the one you show has vertical flames.
