Matches inside and outside when it is not windy. My Zippo pipe lighter inside when i am feeling lazy and not like dealing with matches and outside when it is windy. On a side note, i used to use (and still occasionaly use) those snake light type long BIC lighters with the flexible heads. They are used to light candles, grills, outdoor fires when camping etc. Anyways, they are awesome for lighting your pipe, especially if you are using a pipe with a deep bowl. They don't heat up either except on the end, which you never touch. I'd recommend picking one up for the house for your pipes as well as other uses if you don't already have one.
