[QUOTE="rothnh, post: 344204, member: 2663"] Ronson (now owned by Zippo) makes a nice looking, refillable $5 torch that's fairly reliable. I keep one around for cigars. Some may disagree, but the super high heat of a torch lighter can easily (and quickly) scorch a pipe so I don't use them to light my pipes and advise others against doing so. I owned a Xikar torch (an Axia) and had to send it back to Xikar twice. The second time, I opted for a Xikar soft flame EXII Carbon Fiber which I've had no problem with, but it's not the most convenient light for a pipe. Tried the Jetline Lacardo, sent it back twice, got my money back the second time. For pipes, I use matches a lot. The DJeep is better than the BiC IMO, since it has an adjustable soft flame and a larger fuel tank ($1.29 locally). I always have some BBQ lighters from the Family Dollar Store -- $2 and they're refillable. Of course they don't last forever, but as long as they do, they're also adjustable flame and work well for pipes. I use only Vector 5X fuel -- two 11 ounce cans, assorted nozzles in the cap, $13 at CI. [/QUOTE]
