Perfect Lighting

[anotherbob]

At some point I need to move on from Bic lighters. I'm just too lazy to research proper lighters lol.

I don't hear much about them but my Colibri soft flame is actually pretty good. I love my zippo pipe lighter. Either one beats a bic so much. I've never tried any lighters fancier then that and I really can't imagine them being that much of an improvement.

If you buy a Kiribi, do order a jar of replacement flints with it: it's not fun when the flint is done and you have to wait for the post to arrive, or for the seller to restock them (which can take months).

Don’t they take regular flints?

Someone will likely have them on sale around Christmas for 10-20% off so that might help.

I use Zippo flints, no issues here.

I wish everyone could enjoy a nice Old Boy. Classic, and lights every time. Flame is adjustable, and is clean, no odor (nor odour!) A refill lasts pretty long, and the tank doesn't leak.

Totally agree with @jpmcwjr, sometimes I suspect that the lighter produces some gas by itself.

I’m curious as to what most of you think is the best pipe lighter out there. I recently brought this online and it lights the bowl very evenly without scorching the rim.

Any of them. If you're lighting the tobacco and not the pipe you're not going to scorch the rim. Sounds like you're placing too much confidence in equipment and less time on technique, it shouldn't take longer that a couple of seconds to light your pipe. I've had this one for thirty years, and the rim barely looks any different from the day I got it

I’m getting there, this one actually works very well, I’ve not scorched yet. Before I got this I used matches which was fine because I only smoked indoors. But I confess to being a gadget fan.

I will save you some time, get a Kiribi Kabuto Mizo and you are all set.

I'll check it out, thanks!
