Reliable & Cheap Lighter?

I am looking for a side flame pipe lighter that is affordable. I have looked around ebay but those lighters are never reliable. Is there a brand or so of lighter than is reliable and under $15.

I love my Zippo, reliable and easy to use. They are also relatively cheap.

Re: Reliable & Cheap Lighter?

I got a 2-fer pack of Nibo lighters from Thompson. They are junk. One leaks butane and the other can't keep a good flame.

My wife bought me a twin torch Lotus lighter that is phenomenal, but not cheap,

Options... Look for a mini cooking torch (uses butane) at a cooking place. They run under $20.

Big box of wooden matches works well

Won't a torch lighter fry your pipe though? I love the torch for cigars, but I have heard not to use them smoking a pipe.

Whoops! Ha ha ha!

Didn't realize this wax on the 'pipe' section.

Disregard my previous nonsense.

My grandfather always used a book of paper matches for his pipes!

And yes, Zippos are the way to go and available everywhere!

Re: Reliable & Cheap Lighter?

Ronson as long as you dont just sit there and blaze away at the bowl. A soft flame is something I used to use all the time when I smoked a pipe.

I clicked on the thread from the main page so I didn't realize it was in the pipe forum for one, and I noticed what some of other guys were suggesting to. I will read more carefully next time I don't wanna mess up anyone's pipes. But when I did smoke pipes it was common sense "to me" not to use a torch lol.

Re: Reliable & Cheap Lighter?

lol, yeah that can happen pretty easy, not realizing which thread your in. It happens a lot. Someone will ask a ? like "What is your favorite tobacco" in the pipe forum, and someone will answer "padron 1926. It's all good though.
