Preferred Lighter

Zippo pipe. Even calm Nevada days are windy, Zippos work the best for me.

Where did you get the accoutrement for the Bic lighter?

 

[Waning Embers]

So I'm looking into Beattie lighters (I wonder if the one's on ebay that are untested usually work?

Some of them have old flints corroded in the flint tube but you can clear them with a small drill bit. Just make sure it has the jet probe included with it and that the jet bore isn't reamed out. The jet bore is little more than the width of a hair.

Looks like a vintage Peterson's Pipe Mate.

I used to light up with matches but now using BIC and it works just fine-you have to keep it straight down to light up a chamber in the middle...few months back they started to sell a Bic lighter with about 1,5 inch chimney and this is the best lighter i had ...you can light pipe so easy with that chimney...

I love the knockoff Dupont lighters

 

[Streeper541]

I use whatever I have handy, but I prefer my Zippo.

Bic for crappy pipes, old boys for nice pipes. Which basically translates into Bic during the day while I'm working and old boys at night.

Anything that near me that can come out yellow flame (soft flame) ?

Oh I didn’t see the lighter at first and thought you lit your pipe with a muzzle flare.

Usually an old boy, but recently l bought a Zippo Z plus soft flame gas insert.
Have to say that flame is really soft and easy to use.

I bought the Zippo 20 years ago and never liked it it because of that stinking fluid, but the gas insert is a real game changer. Highly recommended.
I've bought another insert as a replacement if ever needed. That's how much I like it.

Either this or a Zippo with a butane thunderbird insert.

I use a zippo most of the time but if I’m at home and out of the wind I will use wooden matches as I find you can get a better light by moving the match flame around the bowl.
I really use to think people who purposely used matches were just picky but there is definitely something to it.

Kiribi when it is calm Zippo Pipe when the wind is up.
