ZippoUnisex-Adult Pipe Lighter, Brushed Chrome Black Pipe, One Size

Zippo makes the best lighters. Durable, clean design with a warranty that can’t be beat. The pipe lights easily and can be filled quickly. For a pipe you need a yellow flame so you don’t scorch and damage the bowl. This lighter is perfect. A gentle yellow flame with a design to place it directly over the bowl. Excellent ! They stand behind their product…check out their warranty !

LOVE IT!I've have used all types of lighters, and matchs...mostly for pipes. This is the ideal pipe lighter. It's got that retro -Zippo look, and cult mistique, but that's not why I got it. OK, a little flimsier than days gone past. But I just needed a good pipe lighter. And this delivers.Works every time.I had many butane pipe lighters costing much more. They burn hot and can seriously burn the top of your pipe if you're not careful. And they inevitably all failed eventually; starting with being hard to light, to becoming non-functional.( Kudos to Xikar BTW, who, true to their word, will fix their lighters for free for life...but you pay shipping and wait a few weeks. However, I still use that one for cigars). But that one didn't do the job (for pipes) as well either...it has a hotter flame and doesn't have that cool pipe chimney, directing the flame into the bowl when turned sideways..the beauty of this design.I hesitated getting a Zippo having heard they impart that lighter fluid smell to your smoke. But as other reviews have noted, just follow these simple rules:1. Don't over fill with lighter fluid - remember less is more.2. Keep the wick short. Trim if necessary so flame isn't too high, although I didn't need to do this.3. Use a good brand of fluid. Zippo is recommended, but I use a generic brand (read."cheap") and I can't detect any lighter fluid taste in the smoke.4. And...very important...let the flame burn for around 30 seconds to let any fumes dissipate before touching to the tobacco.I believe that the story about fluid lighters imparting the fluid taste to the tobacco was started by cigarette smokers who didn't follow these rules, especially the last one. Or, if you're conspiracy minded, it was a rumor started by butane lighter companies.In summary, simple is best. This is a winner. No need to spend $ 50+ for a more expensive lighter unless you're more status conscious than practical.

With many lighters, it can be difficult to get the bowl to properly light on first attempt. With this zippo pipe lighter, as soon as I added fuel and tried it, worked well the first time.It's nice to be able to light the bowl on first attempt and not have to relight again.If you smoke a pipe, matches are the norm (at least for me) but aren't always convenient. This lighter works just as well, and doesn't blow out.

This is an authentic Zippo lighter made in Bradford, Pennsylvania...not Chinese imitation junk. These lighters have been around a long time because they are easy to maintain and are quality built. I own and use several Zippo lighters. My oldest lighter was purchased nearly 20 years ago and I've never had a problem. If there ever was a problem, I can rely on Zippo's guarantee that they will make mechanical repairs free of charge if returned to their factory. The finish is not lifetime guaranteed due to obvious reasons. This particular lighter keeps my pipe lit just fine without charring the bowl edges due to the chimney design of the insert. Good job Zippo. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another and recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a quality American made lighter at a reasonable price which could potentially last a lifetime.

First the standard Zippo quality, its awesome and with the lifetime guarantee you cant beat it! I have had one experience (with arc insert, not lighter case) and it was quick, easy and pleasant. Great customer service!I will say that the last lighter I purchased before this lighter was the Zippo Amour version. After using that type of case then getting this regular case there is a noticeable difference and will be getting the amour version in the future (its heavier and more durable, plus less top wobble).I started smoking pipes with matches... and then moved up to an Old Boy (which I love) but didn't want to take the expensive lighter out, so I went with the Zippo pipe lighter as it is durable, not expensive and I am familiar with their brand for many years.After using this for a bit, I am not happy with the Zippo pipe insert (this is subjective, not that this style of insert/lighter is bad in any way).I am not having issue with taste (some people complain about the fuel and pipes), I just like the flame of the Old Boy style better. I will keep this Zippo and use it when I go out and don't care if I destroy/loose it, but will be looking for a cheaper Old Boy style lighter as my normal out of the house lighter.

This is nice light for my Pipes.

works as described

Probably my favorite pipe lighter and I’ll definitely be purchasing another insert.Unfortunately my Oldboy lighters now sit in the drawer.
