Pipe Lighting with a Zippo

[nimazparsa]

I have a Pipe Zippo. I use matches for the kick in then switch to Pipe Zippo for the rest. I like the flame of the matches more than Pipe Zippo.

I had one once but I prefer the all-purpose Zippo. I used the pipe Zippo to light cigars but a regular Zippo is good for all sorts of other lighting needs, like kerosene lamps and heaters.

I like my Zippo pipe lighter, but generally use matches.

You have piqued my curiosity good Sir. Gow would you use the pipe lighter to light a cigar? Are you holding the lighter horizonfally at the tip of thd cigar?

I don't remember how I did it. I lost that lighter, as I tend to do most things. I am sure I held it horizontally so that the flame would be upright. That is the only way that would make any sense. Once the flame feels the draw, it is, well, drawn to it and it will light the cigar. It was not an operation that required a lot of thinking so much as manual dexterity.

Kind of what I was thinking.

Always Clipper . . . I purchased a Brass Zippo Pipe Lighter some months back, having never had a zippo and decided not for me after one attempt. Sits idle . . .
