I’ve been using these as a hemp wick to light my pipe. Burns longer than most matches. It’s also cut way down on non-smokers complaining about the pipe smoke.
I absolutely love all the artwork on these vintage matchbooks. It's actually helped me with reference when I created some apparel art for the Disney Parks.
I've always been a lighter user for pipe smoking. What advantages have you found with matches? I know some people prefer them, but have never had an explanation of the benefits. This seems like an opportunity to learn something new.
