Matches vs. Lighters

[hairvise]

Yeah. Too soon and I taste sulphur.. Farts and tobacco are not compatible.

Now you tell me!! If I would have known that, my wife might have let me smoke in the house.

man, sold out - I'm still burnin' through the free samples - Gotta get a roll - I like the thicker guage

I went and put in an order with Amazon : Artisanal Hemp - Canadian Hemp Wick 420 Feet. 100% Natural with Beeswax. Should do for awhile. I'm also thinking it would make a good slow-burning wick for any pyrotechnical displays I may wish to put on.

be careful- with the pyrotechnics that is⛑?

I still use matches once in a while. Nostalgia I think . I use lighters mostly, but once in a while I l still like to use them.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Refillable butanes mostly, but also use matches, BIC, and a Zippo depending on conditions.

^^^ I agree... based on conditions.

I like to start with matches If conveniently around. Especially pipes prone to charring. seems easier to control the flame. less heat as others have said. I even bought some hemp cord to try. That lasted twice before the novelty wore off. I bought a Kiribi Kabuto short lighter last week. I’m loving it so far. So... at my table, matches. Elsewhere, usually a lighter or just a quick relight.

another nice advantage of matches is it's less of big deal when you loss them. Stings even less then a bic.

Ha... true ?

I left one of my boxes on the steps and never went back to look for it a box that I just opened. I will miss that whole 50 cents it cost me.

I currently have two boxes of kitchen matches in my pipe. Since I started smoking a pipe again last month, I haven't used a lighter of any sort. At this rate, I don't have any reason to really switch.

None - Hemp rope

Zippo Pipe lighter here. Love it.

 

[jpmcwjr]

It isn't really one versus the other for me. They all have their place. Refillable butanes are the favorites, and can work in breezes up to ca. 10-12 mph.

I'll use matches if it's not windy outside but don't really use them that much. I usually just grab a lighter, currently a Kiribi, and head outside. By the time I realize that it's not too windy for matches, the pipe is already lit.

BIC; I get them in them 5-pak Bundles for about $4 bucks or something. I always pick up at least 2 bundles when I go to the Super Market. They are everywhere: in my coats, in my car, in my pants' pockets, in my shirt pockets, on my dresser; just everywhere - and I like it that way. - Sherm Natman

 

[jpmcwjr]

Not a bad plan. Though hard to know if you've lost one! I always try to have a BIC around, book of matches, and a nice Old Boy wherever I am. And a Zippo for the golf course.

 

[Keweenaw]

IM Corona lighter for me. Best damn lighter I ever used. I try not to damage the top of the bowl, impossible with the match, hard enough with a lighter.

 

[jpmcwjr]

More distance and/or less time!

... or a combination of both. I recently got this little stocking stuffer. Not my go to, but it works.
