Prefer Swan Matches, Kiribi "old boy" style indoors. Outdoors it is the Zippo with Zippo pipe insert. The Zippo is perfect in cold weather, windy weather, it just keeps on lighting. Once lit my pipe camping on the outerbanks in 40 degree weather with a steady 18mph wind. Try that with a butane lighter, not!
As long as I have smoked a pipe(57 years or so) I have used a Zippo lighter and stick matches when I have exhausted the fluid. I have my first and maybe five more. I have put a butane insert in one of them. About a year ago I purchased a Butane lighter from Pipes & Cigars that has the Captain Black logo. It resembles an Honest Lighter w/o any tools. It is reliable and the fuel lasts a long time. I use it almost exclusively now. The major reason is that unlike my Zippo, I don't taste any fuel when I light a bowl. I never gave it a thought until I used it on a regular basis. Anyway for what it is worth, that's my 2 cents. Nuf-cid.
I guess my tastes are not quite as refined. I light with whatever and don’t really notice any adverse taste or aroma after the first few draws. I usually use a soft flame butane though. Cleaner than either matches or lighter fluid. Beeswax hemp wick works very well, especially for lighting the bottom remnants in a deep chambered pipe. One still needs something to light that with…too much of a hassle for general all around use.
