Pipe Lighter

[Joshcertain]

I've got a Xikar pipeline and my buddy has a Corona Old Boy. They are both great lighters. Xikar was cheaper, but they both have lifetime warrenties. I have had to have the xikar worked on in the first 2 months I owned it, but its still a great lighter.... Not as great as the old boy though. I think Xikar makes better cigar stuff.....

buy a zippo and an old boy. its an investment. Plus you never know you may loose one of the lighters.

You should go with Zippo, but only if you're a buster for sucking nafta. I really don't enjoy the flavour of a gas station. But this is just me!

You know, all these years I never even looked at the label on the bottle of the Zippo refill. I just grab it off the shelf at the store without looking (its in the same spot all these years).

I had just finished a black bottle, and was burning through the contents of a yellow one - when this thread joggled the brain cells. Looked at labels - black bottle was the Zippo stuff, yellow is Ronsonol. I couldn't tell the taste apart - in fact neither affected the taste in any way. Looked at price tags, and sunvabeech - he's right!

Or, I just buy mine at the hardware store. In quantity.

Well, I went with the Zippo for now, I got it yesterday it's not to bad although it seems you have draw a little harder and longer to get the pipe going. I think I will get an Old Boy down the road, although the one thing that scares is the availability of the butane for it. Thanks to everyone for the information.

I bought a pipe lighter off Ebay, something called Zorr. Anybody ever heard of them, seems to work fine no problems.

There shouldnt be a difference in draw. Something else to consider.... you CAN take the insert out and put it in any other Zippo lighter case.

My main lighter is my Zippo that was gifted to me by my Girlfriend, but I use a cheapie refillable butane for the char light usually. I'll get an Old Boy one day as the one I'm set on is the Brass and Blasted Briar model for $160

I often just use a BIC lighter for my pipe. I like that the flame is more directional than a Zippo, and I can see the fuel level left. I use whatever is available at the time tho, a bic, zippo, matches, torch lighter, campfire, volcano, etc. Anything that will get that fire burning!

[Crazycoonass]

CRIMMENY! Old boys are expensive! Think I'll stick with my bic. Btw I saw a posting on Ebay for a refillable butane insert for zippo type lighters, it had the hole for lighting pipes. Im contemplateing getting one.

I picked up a zippo pipe lighter today for $20. Not a bad piece. I'm going to send one of my other zippos to them to request a pipe insert. We'll see how long that takes!

I just got a Zippo too and like it quite a bit. The flame is kind of big and can fly all over the place sometimes, but overall it works well and no noticeable taste. I use matches a lot too. I have a feeling I'm going to settle on a general combo of matches, zippo, and then shell out for an old boy when I can.
