I have long wondered whether these have brass internals or not. Let us know when you get it and open it up  |

This thread exacerbated my LAD (Lighter Acquisition Disorder). I added a Sarome Palladium Engine Turn pipe lighter to my small collection this week. I have long wondered whether these have brass internals or not. Let us know when you get it and open it up The add for it states: "Made by solid brass with 45 degree angle flame for pipe smoking. Made in Japan since 1940." I'll let you know on the internals. |

Thanks Markus Magnus!
I have heard Mark Levine...not so Magnus by comparison.. crowing about these lighters, I am convinced he is right..readily available at my B&M.

I might have to get one as I like trying different lighters. I started using a Clipper lighter recently as a backup. The wheel feels better, flint can be replaced and its round shape makes for an emergency tamper. Certainly liking it better than a BIC. |

For disposables, DJEEP is a bit nicer than a BIC, but both serve well.
For refillables, I have a Xicar, a couple of Kiribi Kubotos, and an IM Corona old boy style, and a few Chinese ripoffs of ST Dupont lighters. For the bucks, ($25 when I bought them) the latter are the best value. I do have LAD.
FWIW, I shy away from angled flames. Some love 'em, some don't care.

I too suffer from LAD. To relieve my thumb from too much flint wheel thumbing, I sometimes buy "flicker" type lighters, such as my Xikar and Lotus. Unfortunately they don't last too long without maintenance that will allow them to light effortlessly again. I recently found these for sale in ebay and bought one. It's working fine thus far. Hope its effective functioning will last. |

Rather than start a new topic,I'll ask this here: I've recently acquired a second hand Zippo pipe lighter. It needs a bit of TLC,which isn't a problem,as I'm quite good with Zippos,but,do the pipe models use a different size Flint?

Cheers,that's what I thought. Looks like I've got a problem child I would think that would mean you don’t have a problem. If there is a problem with the flint canal, you probably have a corroded flint inside though.... in my experience (if that is the case) they crumble easily to clear it. |

I suggest avoiding butane. People use that for welding. It's just too hot. Pipe killer.

I suggest avoiding butane. People use that for welding. It's just too hot. Pipe killer. Not at all, when used properly, unless you mean by butane the torch style ones. But a soft flame butane is fine- and preferable to many- for lighting a pipe. As with any flame, distance from the medium (tobacco) and duration of the flame are key to getting the best ignition of tobacco. And by best I don't mean fastest. The lowest temperature at which you can ignite the tobacco is best. And that seems accomplished by not having even the flame touching the tobacco: The superheated air just off the tip is plenty hot to ignite all but the wettest of tobaccos. |

I find butane to be convenient in warmer months but in winter or outdoors my Zippo (non-butane) pipe lighter is the champ. Butane lighter gets too cold and won't light without coaxing. Ultimately I would just prefer wooden matches over everything.

 Put it under your armpit for a little while, it won’t need coaxing.

I really like this lighter. High quality, on the order of an Old Boy, but time will tell. |

Mine came in the mail today, and are very nice. To refill, do you drill, carve out the hole at the base? Thanks for posting about these! |

High quality, on the order of an Old Boy, but time will tell. Open the bottom! Post photos of the internals. I've been curious for some time, but unwilling to stump the money just to know. |
