I'm kind of in a weird spot, where I have been smoking my cobs a lot lately. Because of this I feel that it would be strange to light them with my IM Corona Old Boy...Just doesn't seem right...SO I tend to use my Bic instead.
Am I the only one who feels this way?

I suffer this on both ends. It does seem a bit out of place lighting up a cob with a sleek and shiny lighter. I get the same feeling when I have out a beautiful pipe, my Cosmic Folklore tamper and my old boy with my good ole paper plate for tobacco drying. But I have come to enjoy this slight disjoint. I could buy a nice silver tray to dry tobacco on or I could buy a lighter more aesthetically in line with a cob but I like drying on a paper plate and I like nice looking lighters. So I imagine my set up with continue to be a hodge podge of upscale and cheap but effective products.

Sometimes highest quality doesn't have to equal massively expensive. If you're smoking Missouri Meerschaum you're smoking a high quality pipe and there is nothing wrong with using a high quality lighter

I would certainly not disagree with that. MM makes damn good pipes and they do their job admirably. For me it's more an issue of aesthetics which I know is not how everyone looks at things. Personally, I want what works the best or provides for my needs regardless of price. Sometimes I get it in the way of a cheap but quality product and some time I have or want to pony up. That's why I like my paper plate so much, it works. Definitely no disrespect to MM pipes though.
