[QUOTE="NorthernLights, post: 321622, member: 3183"] Wooden matches (kitchen matches, etc) will burn better and produce a nicer flame than paper matches. I'd try RedBird strike anywhere matches. Make sure to let the igniter burn off and the wood to start before lighting or you will sulfur bomb your tobacco. In wind, place the match between your thumb and middle finger, with the head pointing down and away from you. Clench your pipe just for a moment. You can lip clench if you're paranoid about marks. Ignite the match in and towards you, forming a cup around it with your hands. Hard to explain, hope that came across. Once lit, move your hand cup to surround your pipe bowl. Stays protected the whole time. Works like a charm. Yes, the non wind proof BBQ and candle lighters produce a regular flame like a BIC, and are ok on pipes. Draw AS you descend the flame into the bowl and it will stay lit. Some torch their pipes. Seem to argue if ok or not for the tobacco, but bloody risky for nice briar :/ [/QUOTE]
