Works really well, looks great, good quality material.
I've purchased two different trench lighters, this one arrived first, and it was the one I thought I would like least. But, actually, I have a feeling I'm going to like this the most ! It's heavy, feels great in the hand, lights perfectly and looks really neat.I really like the three flame openings.If you like to smoke the good stuff (void where prohibited) this device has a neat feature, if you know what I mean, and I think you do. Light it, place one hole downwards on the "bowl" and inhale gently, it will pull the flame from the top hole to the bottom, thus igniting your ground up goodies. Everyone will want one.

Good product, good value for money
For the price, substantial with premium feel. Mechanically, works just like a Zippo pipe lighter, takes Zippo flints and fuel as well. One advantage over the Zippo is that the tank screws in shut, so the fuel evaporates less. Compact but heavier than a Zippo. Another advantage, unlike the Zippo, the flint chamber can accommodate multiple flints. A couple of disadvantages compared to the Zippo: 1. awkward to handle single-handedly, you can easily burn yourself; 2. flawed flint chamber, when the plunger is removed--necessary to replace flint--the locking screw falls out; 3. despite strength of flame, not as protective as Zippo under windy conditions; 4. costs about twice as much as comparable Zippo. Nevertheless, an outstanding pipe lighter for the price; my current go-to when smoking my (yes, tobacco) pipe.

Love this thing
I didn't know what to expect with this, as I have never seen a lighter of this variety before in real life, but I was tired of wrestling with my Zippo pipe lighter when lighting my pipe.This thing is on the heavier side, so be warned of that. It will take up more pocket space than a Zippo, but the flame is amazing for pipes and cigars. You whip this puppy out and everyone is intrigued, even the seasoned old cigar snobs. This is a great lighter and puts on a great show.

I use this soley to light my tobacco pipe. It would probably be difficult to use for much else considering it's design.Pros: heavy, sturdy and reliable. Some people like light tools, I love copper and brass so the weight doesn't matter to me, you'll get used to it and plus the copper will age beautifully especially with the consistant heat.Cons: requires a lot of attention. It's become a habbit to refill it everytime I pull it out because it seems to let the fuel evaporate pretty easily. But with a light that looks so cool and is so efficient I could care less10/10 would buy recommend and buy another

Not great for a pipe
Doesn't really work as expected for lighting a pipe. It's good quality and solid brass but opens and closes with difficulty

Real SOLID Brass - GREAT Pipe Lighter!
Getting hard to find nice pipe lighters anymore...everyone wants those blow torch lighters (which will RAPIDLY DESTROY a Briar Wood Tobacco Pipe!), you want a 'cool' naptha lighter...so 'old-school Zippo' or similar. Problem is, Zippo has almost abandoned Tobacco Pipe Lighter inserts! You can't buy them individually online, and they only offer a few of them in cases anymore. So, Zippo abandoned their customer base, I went looking elsewhere...and found this SOLID BRASS lighter! The mechanics are VERY WELL MADE, as good as ANYTHING anyone has ever come up with previously. Precision machining, well thought out, very nice visual presentation, works on lighter fluid (naptha) or kerosene and of course, the old 'Zippo-style' flints...just doesn't get much simpler than that.Provides a large flame in a conventional 'draw down' hole for actually lighting a pipe! I just can't say enough about this lighter...and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone who smokes a pipe to consider buying this brass work-of-art!

Fuel, fuel and fuel
I've had mine for about a year. It is well built and hefty. Has a cool steampunk-ish vibe. Over all though the function isn't as easy as a lighter should be and the flame is easily blown out. All of that I kind of expected so no biggy. What I didn't expect was how often you have to fuel this thing even if not used. I have to fuel it at least once a week to ensure it'll always work. Not really worth the hassle in the end and I will be eliminating it from my EDC. I'll hang on to it because it's a cool lighter.

Solid, a little too solid.
Excellent lighter, I'm very happy with it.Pros: it's very solid and well built. It has an easy to use fuel reservoir that conserves fuel. The window flame design allows you to use with a pipe.Cons: it's heavy, very heavy for a lighter. Solid, billeted brass. And the flint passage design it a little odd and cumbersome to use, but luckily you won't have to use it often since flints usually last a while.All-in-all, I'd recommend it. I am happy with it, it's a great lighter. Maybe not an everyday carry lighter, but a good novelty to say the least.Note: it comes with a flint already in it, so no need to take out the flint spring to add one.
