Tried to burn the shop down with matches few months back and loose lighters regularly so I stick with bics in "Lighterbro" cases.
You know, I'm absolutely sure that it's a best solution, i like matches more than anything else. Problem is that in my country special matches for our toys is very rare and a regular one's just disgusting ?
Actually it's also good idea. Many years ago, one person from France, presented me a bic with metal case, which I think was a peace of art. Till this days this stuff in my memory. I never seen bic cases like that. It was from the thin metal with ingraved pictures... like, I don't know... comics, something like that.
I used pretty art cases on a Bic for years simply cause the extra weight made it easier to tell when it came out of my pocket. The cases I use currently have handy little tools on it but you can still find some beautiful cases for Bic or clipper lighters ether one online with a little looking.
Last week I happened to find a new production run of Beattie lighters from China.
Being highly satisfied with my Faux Dupont lighters I've got high hopes for these: 13.39US $ 10% OFF|Original zorro kerosene sandalwood lighter.Creative oblique fire.Vintage funny play grinding wheel gasoline oil Pipe lighter|Cigarette Accessories| - AliExpress - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001512170435.html
Hopefully the package gets here before November.
Seeing how it works, pre-heating fuel, this is the only lighter design I know of that should work reliably all winter and in almost any temperature.

Bic. I sometimes let the color surprise, me. I say, sometimes, because that much excitement could cause me to wet my pants.
Zippo with pipe insert worked great on the deck with a little breeze and don't like to mess with matches in my Jeep. Matches are fine if I'm just sitting in the garage. So I use both, preference depends on location for me but the lighter is pretty convenient.
Match guy, all the way. Saves your pipes, saves your tongue, make the process much more enjoyable. A wooden match seems to also suitable old school nature of pipes, to me.
Matches, for the same reasons given by others: cooler flame saves the taste and the tongue. I also find the flame easier to control--to avoid charring the bowl, and to get the flame to the tobacco when the bowl is half or less full--than with a bic. And I don't see myself spending the money on one of those directed-flame lighters.
The lighter I mentioned was less than $30 and the large fuel can $7. This is a directional flame and can be adjusted to suit. I found I charred less than when using matches.
When I used matches, the head, I had to be careful with the match head falling off and landing on my clothing.
