I've been using matches to light my pipe and as I smoke outside it's turned into a giant pita trying to get a match lit and to my bowl without it blowing out. I've just been using the little book matches tossed in with my pipe purchase. I have a butane windproof lighter that I use on my grill, but I don't dare put that beast near my lovely briar. I like using matches, as they are cheap, but I'm really getting frustrated going through a book of matches with each smoke, and I usually only have to relight once. Would getting big 'ol kitchen matches work better? I seem to remember wind proof matches or the like from camping. Anything like that? Or should I just bite the bullet and pick up a pipe lighter. If the lighter is the way to go, can you recommend an inexpensive model that is of decent quality.
ETA: A regular lighter won't work because a) I'm a clutz and burn myself and b) my churchwarden has a deep bowl
