Pipe lighter

I know two solutions I have tried and liked, but do not own. First the Colibri Connaught II. It's a little spendy at $50 but it felt solid. I have only used one on two occasions. Also a cheaper solution is a zippo butane insert from amazon. Sorry don't know which brand it was but I'll follow up when I get back to work. I have a coworker who uses this daily. I don't smoke pipe often but they were both great solutions when I couldn't get matches to work in windy Colorado Springs.

Old Boy pipe lighter. Expensive, but a one time purchase.

A shameful admission;

I've owned at least one of each of the usual suspects. Upon becoming old, lazy and crotchety, I've settled on Bics, yes, bics.

I have owned mine for over 20 years and it works flawlessly. Excellent pipe equipment. Got one for my son a year ago and cannot tell the difference (other than mine has a few scratches on it. I did send it in once, but it was a while back and I do not remember why. They fixed and sent it back to me, I only paid my postage to them.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

I fully agree. I own a tortoise lacquer & polished gold finish for pipes, and a triple torch Colibri for my cigars. Your mileage may vary, they are worth every penny for me.

I ordered a zippo and a butane insert. The zippo has arrived, but I'm still waiting on the insert. I decided to try the regular zippo wick insert, since I've read some people use them. Terrible mistake. All I taste is lighter fluid. Yuck.

Sorry to hear you didn't like your New Zippo as a Pipe lighter. I have 2 Zippo's and love them. One is a Pipe lighter with a hole made to let you use it side ways with a little pipe diagram on the case. The other one is just the old standard Zippo. I have used them both to light my pipes and I haven't ever had an issue with fluid taste. What type of fluid are you using? I only use Zippo in my pipe one and I have used both Zippo and Ronsonol fluid again haven't had any odd taste from them.
