Up with What are You Lighting ?

Just a cheap old gas station Bic.

Savinelli Miele lighter. Put the cart before the horse. Now I guess I’ll have to buy a Miele pipe.. It’s made in Japan, and quick become my favorite lighter. Anyone have a guess as to who might make these for Savinelli?

On the basis of this thread, I've ordered a Peterson lighter. The tarot reader said I'd meet my twin flame in the coming week, so I knew I had to have one.

About 15 years ago now i found these cheap lighters on ebay and bought a 5 pack of them for something like $30. I sold 3 to friends at the cigar lounge whom i had converted into part-time pipe smokers and saved 2 for myself. Still smoking the first one and have the other as an eventual backup. Works like a charm. Only complaint is the small gas tank. haha

I was in Walgreens and saw this BIC on sale and bought one. I love it. The extension keeps the flame away from my fingers.

That's what I use, too. Once I get experienced and reduce the number of relights, I would like to just use matches. For some reason, there's just something I like about the image of lighting a pipe with a match.

Bit the bullet and last year I finally got the Kiribi Takara that always caught my eye and it has been a constant companion since.

Don’t remember where and when but it was inexpensive and still ticking

Zippo with a pipe insert.

That's a beautiful Pipe.
Peterson Zulu Spigot?

In general, I use clipper lighters more. Outside the house, plus the zippo, kibiri or if it's windy, a torch lighter.

Vertigo it looks like to me. I've gone through 1 after about 1 years use, and the piezoelectric ? component seems to have given out? Haven't taken it apart to see if I can fix. I've a 2nd one that is now getting close to the same in use-years and it's still holding on. I think I have 2 more in a box waiting for me.

I got them all for about $20 each. Like a Bic but the flame is more manageable to me, and the inclusion of the little tools, although small and not very strong, are perfect for daily use on most of my pipes.

I like to have both a liquid (Zippo) and a gas lighter (like this) on me to go back and forth. Somehow it seems that with different barometric pressures and humidity levels that sometimes one works slightly better than the other. And sometimes the relight takes better with one over the other in my experience. It makes no sense but that's my experience so I try to have both types.

I agree with having a back-up. Usually when I am indoors this is my go-to no fail backup……

I think that's my favorite of theirs. I'm adding it to my xmas list.
