Show Off The Favorite Pipe Lighter Of Yours

[Chasing Embers]

That there is called a Nimrod. Not sure how hard they are to find this day and age

Got mine NOS from eBay a few years back for $25. The other is a Bowers Trench Lighter from the '30s, also purchased NOS from eBay.

Cranse- What a fine collection. I was looking for when butane was first used, so far, before 1950, but no definitive date.
And in so looking I came across this, interesting, but of little value. She evokes Christina Hendricks, but overdid the silicone.

Good work, Duane. How did you do it?

Well, it shows in Chrome, but not Safari.

Had to save and upload. Looks like it has a hotlink blocker.

Here are some of my favorite of lighters...first one is an old Dunhill gold butane.

The second pair is a really old favorite of mine 2 Beattie jet lighters and yes they still work just fine.

This IM Corona Old Boy is my current favorite aesthetically.

 

[jpmcwjr]

A favorite, in part because it was cheap for the build quality. ($20) Aka "FauxPont".

I LOVE my Kiribi lighter, but basically pointless in the wind. I use it mainly for indoor smoking time. The other 99% of the time I use my Zippo with the butane insert.

My old brass Zippo with a Thunderbird butane insert. I love it for lighting my pipe. I just wish it held more butane so I didn't have to refill it so often. It is the perfect pipe lighter and it makes that satisfying Zippo "click" when I close it.

 

[jpmcwjr]

One of my favorites.

I can light with butane in fairly strong breezes. Maybe up to 10-12 knots or so.

great looking lighters, I only have Peterson and brass Zippo, but that knock off St Dupont will definitely go to my shopping list.

After struggling with butanes for a couple of months, I gave it up to go back to the ever reliable old Zippo. I got this one to celebrate the occasion:

Dunhill Unique (pipe flame)

 

[jpmcwjr]

Nice! Are those all Dunnies behind the lighter?

 

[rfernand]

Two of them, the others are James Upshall. The humidor is also by Dunhill.
