Get a bunch of guys around and anything and everything turns into a pissing contest. If the pipe goes out, light it again. Who tf cares how many times you have to relight it, it takes like a split second. That said, I never have to relight my pipe because I'm a manly man and an awesome pipe smoker.
If you have to relight more than 4.35897 times then you are doing it wrong. You need to pack your pipe perfectly, dry it perfectly, pick the perfect pipe, smoke at the perfect cadence, then you will be able to keep your pipe lit perfectly.
