Is it OK to use a Torch Lighter?

For me, no way. Burnt the hell out of one of my pipes doing that. Never again.

When I started smoking last year, i rushed out and bought 4 zippos. But in addition to the big mess, I didnt like the fuel smell. So I bought a few Thunderbird inserts and they act exactly like a regular lighter. Except they work well in the wind. I always have a few lighters on me and my zips are usually part of the bunch.

Just looked up the Thunderbirds and they look perfect. Thanks zonomo.

I personally love my Zippo as is (pipe insert, standard fuel), but I can see how the hastle and smell could bother others, in which case the Thunderbird is probably the way to go.
