Same here - big matches, usually. I can light a pipe with a match, in almost any circumstances. I'll admit there was a time when wind used to sometimes stop me, but it gets easier and easier.

Swan matches for me - still annoyed by the new box! I was tempted by one of the Peterson lighters but find that a fluid lighter, for me, gives an “off “ taste. I don’t know about gas and would sooner spend the money on more tobacco, I suppose, or another pipe.
The Pipemaster?
Better than Old Boys I've had. The bigger you set the flame, the more durable it is, in my experience.
Usually this Peterson old boy knock off.
I also use a weird setup of an electric arc lighter zippo insert and beeswax hemp wick. Mainly because I wanted something with a super soft flame that was really controllable that I could refill for really cheap. Electricity and wick is about as cheap as it gets.

Zippo's with Zippo Butane Insert.
But am I the only one here who lights his pipe with a $100 bill?
When I'm short on cash then I write myself a check (at which point I go overboard... even by $1,000), and walk away with that.
When I also finished the check book... see avatar.

Usually matches or a zippo, but I'll use whatever can get my tobacco lit.
My main lighters nowadays are the Tsubota Pearl Stanley and Im Corona Old Boy. Sometimes matches and Maruman GL-67.
Just a couple years. Maybe 3
The plain finish black ones do this eventually. They are also the cheapest
