Favorite Pipe Lighters

PipeProfessor · July 2016

What lighters work like a champ when lighting your pipe?

PipeProfessor · July 2016

I'm a fan of Zippo pipe lighters, but I'm still searching for the perfect one.

My favorite lighter is split right now. My go to pipe lighter is an IMCO but i really like my Xikar scribe but it doesn't play to nice with wind.

Xikar Scribe is my current favorite. Also enjoy the Xikar Resource that my dad uses.

Back in the day I adored my Beattie Jet Lighter, but I outgrew the lighter fluid taste. Now, I use a Bic away from home, and hemp wicks at home.

I have 2 different butane lighters that I alternate between. An IM Corona pewter, and a Vertigo Puffer. I reach for the Vertigo, when I need to get into a deep bowl.

I have a Zippo pipe lighter with Sherlock Holmes on the front that work perfectly on all my pipes except a chunky Danish Freehand. The flame from the lighter can't make good contact with the tobacco because of the shape of the bowl.

sorry but it didn't post the link to the pipe lighter post I had commented on.

Linse Disposable Pipe Lighters. I also keep a Bic around for backup.

I ordered a five pack of the Linse pipe lighters on eBay.

Seems to be a BIC style lighter with a sideways flame diverter.

I'll let ya know.

Zippo is the best!!! Although I've always lusted after a Dunhill, way out of my rice range...

motie2 · March 2017

I recognize the superior utility and craftsmanship-for-the-money of the Zippo pipe lighter. But I can't get past the taste of lighter fluid. It's like those old lighter fluid hand warmers; they really worked, but you smelled like lighter fluid. So I use wicks at home and BICs in the field. I hope the Linse lighters are as good as advertised.

I picked up this Dunhill Rollagas at last weekends New York Pipe Show. I don't really like gold plate but it was in like new condition and the price was right.

Like motie2, the lighter fluid smell hits me first, so my Zippo and Nimrod pipe lighters sit on the shelf. At least with wooden matches, I can let the sulfur burn off & get to the wood, which I love. I use them all the time at home. When I'm away, I carry a Corona Old Boy. It's perfectly functional as well as the most dependable refillable lighter I've ever used.

@Woodsman -- Thanks for calling my attention to the Linse Disposable Pipe Lighters. I paid $15.95 for six Linses on eBay and they arrived today. For the rest of you, they're like a BIC but with a built-in extension that provides for an adjustable horizontal flame for lighting pipes. The ignition is piezo electric and reliable, lighting on almost every click. Not an Old Boy, but it gets the job done. I'm really impressed.

Now here is the perfect Zippo collection for someone like me who not only likes Zippo lights but is a sci-fi fan with a passion for the ALIEN franchise. This is one of those Bradford Exchange collections that can get pretty damn expensive ... but is cool as Hell.

motie2 · April 2017

@ghostsofpompeii -- "Cool as hell," indeed. This is the kind of thing which inspires envy!!!! (I want one!) On the other hand, could I sleep with that in the room? Maybe turned away.

The Zippo pipe lighter. Always dependable. When I started smoking a pipe many years ago there was a snobbishness among some pipe smokers that a Zippo shouldn't be used for a pipe and butane or kitchen matches should be used. Every refillable butane lighter meant for pipes has been a great disappointment to me. And I don't like walking around with a box of kitchen matches in my pocket.

Woodsman · April 2017

I saw "Strike Anywhere" matches in tight jeans that managed to rub tips together and ignite. The guys were scorched but, not too badly.

I found an old IMCO G77r lighter on eBay that's in really good shape. I heard that these cheap, discontinued lighters are really good if you can find one. I have to agree wholeheartedly. I've been using mine daily with no issues and excellent performance for about a month now. I have lighters worth $100s but this one is really impressive. I encourage you to snag one if you can ever fine one.

I use a Dissim soft flame, but I just received my Dissim dual torch yesterday.

My “Honest” angled soft-flame butane lighter with the long pipe tools is my go to. My new soft-flame butane Vector with the slide-up “extendo tip” is great for getting down low in the bowl and as a backup when I run out of butane in the “Honest” lighter. Then, as my triple back-up, a Zippo with a butane Z-Plus pipe insert. If the bomb hits and it’s the “Rona Zombie Apocalypse”, time for the Zippo with the Z-Plus dual torch insert.
