[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 449793, member: 2318"] I prefer the kitchen match which offers three noteworthy plusses: cheap, very controllable, cool flame. Frustrating outdoors in a breeze, though. So I also carry a Zippo with the pipe chimney. I've found my Zippos have the three plusses of the 'umble match, plus wind proof. The match has the edge, I'd say, for the initial light, my strategy being to light a portion in the center and then gently sip it down through the rest of the bowl. Users of gas lighters seem to believe that the idea is to torch the tobak to mid-bowl level, as if they're cranking up a cooking fire. All you need to do to start is get a patch of top embers aglow and heat the surrounding pipe weed, thereby releasing the fine tobacco aroma. I think P&C has an essay on its site comparing the process to slow cooker vs. Broiler and asking , "Which smells better?" [/QUOTE]
