I ordered a couple different Chinese pipe lighters to soothe my PLAD
See how they fare ..

@bluto Jobon? Honest? Baofa?
I have a Jobon. It's a little problematic when it comes to inserting the gas, but it's doing the job and it's half the price of the Zippo.
I will still buy the Zippo though.

These do a very good job. Disposable.

That looks like a helluva good buy. I don't like the flame nozzles, but many do.

Matches, boys, matches!

The Linse is a decent and very cheap option with a very small fuel capacity. A step up is the Cool lighter which is also very cheap, but refillable and has a simple built-in tamper. At the high end, the Kiribi and the IM Corona Old Boy are equally good and very reliable. Peterson is right there with them, but I don't in one myself.

Dan that Lighter open thread is great reading/watching.
That DuPont you have, is there a pipe setting for it or do you just tilt it like a bic?

I’ve been using a Xikar Resource II for a couple of years now without any problems. Huge tank.

Jetline makes a nice soft flame pipe lighter that's refillable.

Looks interesting!

No pipe setting. I tilt it, but not like a Bic. I tilt it like a man.

I'm still trying to figure out how people burn themselves with a BIC.

 

[woodsroad]

By lighting pumpkins on fire, I guess.

 

[Chasing Embers]

They actually smell really good when they burn.

@chasingembers This position worked but the stone still gets hot and I can barely move the lighter with freedom.
I need caution to deal with it, I think that even matches are better.
Thanks for the helpful image.

 

[Chasing Embers]

I think that even matches are better.

A good majority of pipe smokers would agree with that.

 

[woodsroad]

Fingers don't smell too good when they burn.

 

[mrmachado]

A good majority of pipe smokers would agree with that.

I'm not hating matches anymore now, since the day I bought long matches without sulfur.
The short thin ones are hard to keep lit, but those big ones are good.

I have a couple of nice pipe lighters, a few Zippo's but I always go back to my BIC. I did just order a Z-Pipe insert to give it a try. I like Zippo's, but don't like that it imparts a taste on the tobacco for the first few puffs. I'm hoping this new insert will make it so I can enjoy my Zippo's again.
