What Is Your GoTo Lighter?

[tobefrank]

I’ve been very happy with the IM Corona Old Boy I bought a while ago. It’s been very reliable. If I were to buy another one it would be a Kiribi Kabuto, but since it is very similar to the Old Boy this will probably never happen.

95% of the time I use kitchen matches, but as far as a lighter goes, I have had great luck with a cheap refillable butane Ronson pipe lighter.

Mine hasn’t arrived in the mail yet but looking at the design it should be nearly the perfect pipe lighter. These get me particularly excited since I have a lot of tall chimney pipes.

I’ve also got some of the triple arc models coming, those aren’t in such a slim profile but they should still work for wider and more shallow bowls.

As long as they can burn enough material to start a flame in the bowl and don’t totally die in less than a year I can’t imagine using anything else more often than these, especially in Winter when gas based lighters almost all stop working.

Never tried these. But thinking it through, will tobacco end up collecting near arc? Hmmm let me know how it works for you.

I use a Corona Old Boy. Usually a bit pricey, but I found one just sitting on a table, along with a Stanwell bulldog, leather pipe cleaner holder, and a Columbia tobacco pouch.

Funny response!

Well, it doesn't do a charring light. After the tobacco level gets below the rim it doesn't do lights period.

Well, that one might actually fit down inside a pipe. Just something about tasering my pipe disturbs me. In a good way.

Zippo with a pipe insert. I started with bics, but they scorched the rims of my pipes and didn't work well outside.

Just got my rollagas back from being serviced at the Authorized Repair Service (Hendersonville, NC) I cannot open the fill valve cover. I depress and try to turn but nothing. Any tricks out there? I have to wait until Monday to call them and probably have to send it back.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Mine doesn't require depressing the cover, though your fill cap may be different.
