Candle light

[Wheels]

Thanks for all the good advice. I appreciate it.

I do this sometimes as well and use hemp wick to light the pipe. Works very well.

An ok idea but its not necessary if you dry your tobacco and pack lightly. As others say, tamp lightly and from the edges inward like you are feeding a campfire. Not stomping it out.

Which one the fluid or butane insert? I have a butane one and it goes out with the slightest breeze

Definitely fluid. Easy to refill, lights easily, only soft flame that stays lit in any wind. Pipe insert prevents rim charring, but not necessary

This is basically what is known as a "spill" in the cigar world. Basically it's like using a match that doesn't have a striking head and must be lit from another source of flame. You might consider a less flammable surrounding for the candle, maybe a tall tin can or something, and I definitely wouldn't use a scented candle.

It's a split as in a piece of thin cedar split off a larger sheet.

What about the fluid flavor and smell?

 

[Doctor Chopper]

I don’t detect it. Draw the flame down into the tobacco

You can get a Zippo for under $20. Pipe insert for under $20. Fluid, extra flints are cheap. Works forever. Try one, and even if you don’t like it you will have a lining lighter for use outdoors

Just don't be idiot like me and let the flame heat up the little wheel part when you do your charring light. I did that and now have a wheel print on my thumb.

Probably overfilled it or something bc that flame was a little out of control the first time I used it.

Scars are the beginning of a good story, which gets embellished to make it better in the telling.

I've always heard them called spills. Google "cedar spill" and you'll see what I'm talking about.
When I smoked cigars regularly, I would make my own by taking the unfinished inner lining pieces from cedar cigar boxes and just split them into thin strips with a knife. I got free boxes from a B&M I lived close to, so I always had a virtually unlimited supply of spills.

It happened last night and is already healing up, so I don't think I'll get any more stories out of it. Oh well.

 

[HawkeyeLinus]

Well, it is different and innovative, but it isn't something that I think will catch on.

I think it will catch on … fire. Our hurricane lamps are made of glass!

Maybe your hurricane lamps have a bigger flame.

Fluid always. It is the best bet for mild wind
