I started using it because I liked the idea, the nostalgia even, of using matches. However, I always smoke outdoors and the matches always went out immediately. The hemp wick is decently wind resistant, so it appealed to me.

Don't let the naysayers get you down. For some, pipe smoking is nostalgic, even romantic. They want to be immersed in the experience and the ritual. Real or imaginary, they perceive differences in chamber shapes, smooth or rusticated finishes, geographic source of the briar or the source of the flame. If it makes you happy, do it.

Having said that, there is one universal truth in this crazy world....Zippo nnnn

If I had to find two rocks to bang together to light my pipe, I would still love it.

I remember when this became a thing. All the hipsters my age where doing it. The old codgers at the smoke shop bought some and gave it to me with a good ribbing.

The flicwic tells me not all of the hipsters went away :) We did our best, would be a shame if we succeeded.
