I’ve been using those too…. i get a knock off one at the dollar store, never seen an actual bic version, but they are awesome. I originally bought one for my gas stove, but the transition was pretty obvious for a pipe smoker …. I’d like to maybe get a nice chrome high end lighter one day, but I also don’t really care… 
I got a few knock-offs at the local dollar store that are refillable. They are great and I’ve been using them a couple of years and they are still going.
Funny, I just looked at the bottom of mine, and I’ll be damned it looks like it is refillable. A small hole with a metal ring inside, for a one Canadian dollar store disposable lighter, 75 cents US. Lol. The ones I have are stamped with Major as the brand.
I have one. I just wish it had a flame control on it...
It is a lighter that is very convenient for pipe smoking.
It's especially convenient to light the Tobacco half left in a bowl.
It's also a lighter I recommend for anyone who wants to start smoking pipes on a low budget.
I use the IM Corona lighter, but in tough environments like going fishing,
I use the same type lighter as yours. It's not a BIC, but a cheap Chinese product about a dollar.

That’s the one I have. I’m using two and the only quality issue is the lack of a flame control. One lighter produces an inch flame and the other inch and a half.
I bought one of these a few months ago to try. It works pretty well. I use it just as much upright as I do inverted, as the flame isn’t near your thumb and is canted away.

Turn up the flame. My Kenan skull us just under 3 inches deep and is easily lit at any depth with a Bic or IM Corona Old Boy.
OK. I'll try it maybe to-morrow. I haven't finished last week's Sunday bowl yet!
This is the proper way to hold a bic.
holding it the other way around reminds me of how kids use a fork in their fist.
Neat!!, never seen those before, gonna have to look for them the next time I'm at the hardware store.
It's one of the most practical and suitable. Perfect size for travel..............
I bought a knock-off version of that Bic at Menards a month ago to spark up the tobacco in my newly acquired MM General. It worked so well I immediately picked up the Bic version at Target.
Both are reliable inexpensive pipe lighters.
