4.0 out of 5 stars Zippo Pipe Lighter gets the job done., October 11, 2008

This review is from: Zippo White Pipe Graphic Black Matte Pocket Pipe Lighter

Pros: Does what it's supposed to do:

- Lights my pipe without going out/acting funny.

- Lets the flame burn freely when held at 90 degrees.

- Makes it VERY hard to burn the rim, and very easy to light the pipe - the flame simply gets drawn down to the 'baccy, where it belongs.

- Fits ANY Zippo lighter body. Drop in replacement for the standard cage-style 'windproof' lighter.

Con: Just something to be aware of:

- The top of the flame cage is a little bit loose at first, and may come off (just a bit of stamped metal over the wick (removable for wick maintenance). After 10 or so pipe fulls, it had tempered enough from the heat to become firmly seated.

Works VERY well, a quality product that is easy to use. Unlike torch lighters that require careful aim, the zippo flame follows the draught of air as you puff. It's just foolproof!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good lighter for casual pipe smokers, July 24, 2009

This review is from: Zippo White Pipe Graphic Black Matte Pocket Pipe Lighter

The Zippo pipe lighter is a reliable budget lighter for pipe smokers. Its pipe insert works well for pipes up to 3" deep. Because the flame doesn't touch the tobacco until it is drawn in, the result is a very soft flame. It seems that it is even softer than a match flame. This produced a very sweet smoke, just like when using matches. The Zippo makes it much more convenient to light a pipe than using matches. It is also much easier to use than lighters that you have to spin the lighter wheel (like Bic). Sometimes I'd knock my pipe when I spin the wheel too close to the pipe, I don't like that at all. The zippo rests on top of the pipe rim without scorching it and it makes aiming the flame very easy.

The problem with the zippo is that it doesn't hold the fluid in very well. I think I was supposed to fluff up the raydon cotton balls first before filling it, because I shook it a bit and fluid began flying out. This did not happen with my generic zippo lighters and the difference was that the raydon balls were filled to the brim. Zippos are also known to have its fluid evaporate too quickly, requiring refills. This seems to be true, I had to refill within less than 20 lights. But again, this could be due to my not fluffing out the raydon balls first. This is also why I say that this lighter is good for casual pipe smokers, as it may require more refills than decent a butane lighter. The new black can zippo fluid didn't seem to add taste to the smoke, there were instances where I tasted a hint of fluid but was gone after the lighter was removed. The new fluid still smells just as bad as the normal kind but I have not done a taste comparison.

Overall, the zippo pipe lighter seems to have a lot of good advantages over butane lighters. Unless you have a much more expensive lighter that can produce a nice soft flame, I don't think you can really beat the zippo for the price & reliability. Zippos are also very reliable and all parts can be replaced. I have a Maruman lighter from my dad, it's a beautiful lighter and supposedly works great. But it leaks butane, it needs a new gasket and the filling hole is not standard, it also needs a new coin battery and I think the lighter needs a thorough cleaning. With a zippo, I can easily repair whatever is wrong with it, and even if I had to replace the lighter, it's not very expensive at all. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great long lasting lighter for the pipe smoker..., June 19, 2010

This pipe lighter ia a great quality lighter that you know will last a long time because it is backed by the zippo name. It has a plate on top and two holes on the sides of the chimney to draw the flame directly into the pipe when put on top of the pipe bowl. I was worried that this lighter would leave the taste of lighter fluid in your mouth but nothing but the taste of the tobacco is present. Not to mention it hasn't burned any of the tobacco yet. It can handle a wide variety of diffrent size pipe bowls and it wont burn the wood on the outside of your pipe. Overall this is a great pipe lighter for the occasional pipe smoker to even the intermediate that should give you years of use.
