I walk over to the fireplace and carefully choose just the right size coal, and gently grab the coal with the tongs...Oh hell!! I use those plastic Ronson refillable lighters. They last pretty well.

Phil, would love to find some matches like you mentioned. Maybe I'll buy some fireplace matches and cut them down to size. LOL

Sorry for the miss use of "you're". It should be your pipes. I could not edit. I should not start threads with a hangover

Mick, ...and worse, you misused "miss use."
Sounds like you need a hair of the dog that bit you.

Anything with a flame. I use matches, Bics, Zippo, Colibri pipe lighter, and Xikar pipe lighter. Like I said, anything with a flame, lol.

Diamond kitchen matches or a marlboro zippo I've had since I was 15.

My bright orange plastic bic lighter didn't impress anyone at any of the pipe shows, but that is what I used.

A Bic lighter blessed by a voodoo priest and holy water from the Vatican . Top that !

I use a Berkley Windproof Lighter made by the New Jersey Flashlight Co.
It must be from the 40's or 50's back when we made things in America!!
It works great.Posted 1 year ago # -

Check it out!(Fixed Link - Bob)

I have a brushed steel Zippo. I really like it and don't seem to notice the naptha taste that others do, though I usually let it burn a second or two before the flame hits the bowl.
I also have a cheap IMCO butane pipe lighter with a 45 degree angled flame. I've had it for about four years and it's been worth the money.
The next two lighters I'd really like to have are a Nimrod/Sportsman like my dad used to use and an IM Corona Old Boy. I think if I had a Corona lighter, the first time I used it I could finally say to myself, "I have arrived.".

I hope this came thru this is what I use. It has the coolest place for an extra flint. The screw you take uot to fill the lghter is double ended, you unscrew the oppiste end of the refill screw and out slides an extra flint. I left my camera at work, maybe I'll post some pic's when I pick up my camera.

At home I always use strike-on-box matches. But I was looking for a butane lighter for use away from home; so, in a forum topic last month I solicited recommendations from site members. I ended up purchasing a Lotus 11 based on skymuscle83 's recommendation. I think it is an extremely convenient right-angle, soft flame, butane lighter. Very satisfied. But durability counts too, so I'll keep folks posted on that.

MY only complaint with butane lighters is... I have a hard time filling them... for some reason, they don’t like me or I’m doing something wrong... It’s probably the last because it’s all the butane lighters’ I’ve had...
At least with my Zippo, I know it’s full... The fluid drips out of it... (I’ve had my hand I fire once or twice...)

I normally use kitchen matches, I wish I could find one of the old metal match boxes to carry them in, I haven't seen one in years

I heard that it won't leak if you seal the inner cartridge by smearing some vaseline or other petroleum jelly on it. You probably have some leftover K-Y Jelly from those virgin pipes you hated breaking-in.

JWP,
Here ya go...
At least you can look at one again... I can't seem to find a "newer" one, maybe we should go into the "match safe business"...

I used to have the same problem until I'd read somewhere that I needed to depress the valve and let the air out before refilling and then giving the lighter a few minutes to reach room temperature before striking. I don't know how important the second part of that is, but I follow it.
For whatever reason, the cheap IMCO lighter I have doesn't require any of those steps.
