Preferred Lighter

[Eastmon]

What lighter are you guys using?

Personally I use a standard Zippo, works well as far as I’m concerned and I love the zippo click!

 

[Christos D. Tsatsaronis]

Bic mostly.

I almost always use an IMCO 2200.

 

[Ocam]

Clipper with the metallic tube and Zippo.

 

[Spa32]

Kiribi Kabuto.

A pipe zippo works best for me.

I’ve always been a fan of Zippo, but my wife surprised me with a IM Corona Old Boy for Christmas and I’m loving it so far ?

My favorite lighters are the IM Corona Pipemasters. I also like the IM Corona Old Boy but since I found out about the Pipemasters, my Old Boys get no use. What I like about the Pipemaster over the Old Boy is that the fuel tank is much bigger than on the Old Boy and the tamper is also longer. I have numerous Pipemasters and so far knock on wood they are all still going.

One trick I learned if your Pipemaster is taking 2-3 clicks to light is to really make sure you purge it really well. Then finding the perfect plastic thing you put on to fill your lighter, gives you a good seal and after 10 seconds the lighter works perfectly.

I only use the Vector 14 times refined fuel. I buy it buy the case on Amazon and it is cheap when you do that.

For cigars, I mostly use a triple flame Xikar Trezo. I have some Zippos with butane inserts as well (among other lighters accumulated over the years that sometimes get used).

For pipes, an IM Corona Old Boy (useless in the wind outdoors), sometimes a Zippo with a Thunderbird butane insert, but, because you have to hold the button down, it can burn your thumb, so I tend to use it less.

Any lighter I don’t have to hold down to keep lit. I collect angled flame pipe lighters and I’d have to say the now disconnected Davidoff Classic slim is a favorite. I wish I had a photo of this collection.

Kiribi Kubota or a Zippo with the standard pipe insert. I do try to use matches most of the time and I keep them in a plated Vesta case with the Edinburgh city coat of arms.
Happy smokes

Mostly old boy but I do have two Kiribi . Bic if it’s windy.

Bic or Zippo. A standard chimney Zippo. There is pipe chimney somewhere in my desk though. Just not that good in the wind.

Zippo pipe lighter.

IM Corona Old Boy. Have been using mine for over a decade now without issues and with minimal maintenance. Excellent product, highly recommended.

They're a little difficult to find in the US right now. There are UK sellers on ebay but shipping is more than the lighter.
