I like the feel of my Zippo, but I smoke so infrequently that I need to refill it every time. I've been humming and hawing over a butane insert for quite some time.
A bid works in a jiffy.

Bic or matches or someone else lighter!
Matches to start off. Bics until I get to the half way point, then it's Zippo the rest of the way.
That's my everyday lighter. Bought this brass armor Zippo new in 2012. So it's kind of my daughters birthyear Zippo haha.
2 IM Corona Pipemasters. 1 at my desk the other at my recliner.
I have had four Fauxpont lighters, (the Chinese "tribute" lighters of the ST DuPont classic) one active, one stolen, and two in reserve. I have a couple of Kiribis in the car, an Old Boy and Rollagas in the Den, and a Fauxpont and a Xicar in the golf bag, and a Colibri and Zippo in reserve. They all work fine.
And I love matches, esp the small wooden ones you can get at some restaurants and bars.

Usually an I.M. Corona. Occasionally a Jetline when I am slumming.
A few Kiribi's for me and Swan Matches.
Kiribi Kabuto. As usual with lighter related threads............it is one of the most oft mentioned names.......I wonder why...........oh yeah, because they kick ass for a reasonable price relative to other lighters of that quality!
In the past I have a couple cheap butane pipe lighters I picked up at a B&M. One I have used for about 12 years. The other I picked up a couple years ago. They generally still work fine, and at $10-$20 each, no big deal if lost or they stop working.
I picked up a Zippo about 6 months ago, but not really a big fan. Although it does work well outside.
A couple weeks ago I picked up an IM Corona Old Boy. Loving it so far.

For the kick around pipes and cobs, bic/zippo
For the nice pipes, old boy style lighter/zippo
But in all honesty.....would use a highway flare if I had to

I use this one as photo window dressing, but it got broken on the day I bought it.
