That's why you want matches meant for tobacco consumption. Diamonds are dirt cheap and will flavor your tobacco with that nastiness you just described. Good cigar matches cost more, but IMO, are very much worth it. Another forum member here said he would do his false lights with the matches, and do quick follow up relights with his zippo. It's the same method I employ also, and I can't recommend it enough, weather permitting, of course.
last night I proved that I can use matches in a very strong wind as long as the wind isn't acting like a jerk (like it did that afternoon) and keeps blowing from one general direction. Had the kind of wind that will push you around a bit that makes you feel like you're running through water. Noticed it's actually easier to make a hand wind screen with matches since you can use both your hands for it. Slightly awkward at first but if I was using a zippo last night I would have not smoked.
weird pistol and with how small it is that may not just dislocate a shoulder it might also just rip your darn arm off.
