I would love to own one of these:

The second one is my regular lighter.

Do you use Naphtha fueled lighters for pipe smoking?

From what I’ve seen (over the last few years) you have a pretty nice collection of cool/vintage lighters. Have you ever posted photos of your collection or the highlights of your collection anywhere?

I've only got a couple. The Beattie, a Nimrod, and a Bowers trench lighter.

I went in hard for some 1960's Japanese-made pipe lighters. They are super neat, but were not made to be repairable, so once they're done, they're finished.

I have two Japanese made black lacquer GBD lighters that look cool but they leak and can’t be repaired.

Yeah. It's a shame. I really like them, but they just weren't designed or made with repair in mind. Ronson, ST Dupont, and the like were, tho. If that helps narrow down your search.

I just use a Corona Old Boy for all my needs.

I've got two of those and a pipemaster. Too fiddly for me and just too fragile. They are nice to look at though.
