Just curious as to what's the most popular. I know both have pros and cons, I just want to see where the majority stands.
 
Since I smoke mainly at and in my house, it's matches all the time. When I "go out" with a pipe it's my Dunhill Unique pipe lighter.

 
I prefer anything that lights reliably in the wind. Top priority.

Both actually.

Matches to light usually. Lighter to do the re-lights as it goes down the bowl. Again, usually.

Exceptions abounds............

Matches when in connoisseur mood; Bic when reading or writing, for convenience; Zippo when driving or outdoors for its no-nonsense dependability.

Preference: matches, hands-down.

Matches for the first light and Zippo for relights.

That's an odd combo.   Any particular reason?   Just curious.

I thought the same thing, but didn't want to say anything to avoid influencing the answers. Now that you popped the lid, I am curious as well.

 
Overall, I prefer matches, but I always have my Zippo with me at home and a bic at work, just in case.
 
Hawker how is that Jifeng working for you.  Just wondering     MIKE

I use coronas outside all the time if it is really windy have to go to the Zippo. MIKE
 
I use both, but the lighter is just easier outside. If I'm smoking inside its always matches.
 
I must admit considerable surprise at the number of lighter responses.

Works great Mike of the 5 lighters i have it's my favorite. Surprised how long a refill lasts and the removable tamper that has a screw adjuster for the flame is very handy when you need to turn it up in windy conditions. I used to pack up either my Xikar,Bently or Zippo for traveling now I only bring my Jifeng.
 
I use my old Nimrod Commander most of the time. Now and again I will use my regular Nimrod or a Zippo.

Indoors it's mostly matches - big ol' wooden "kitchen" matches for me. Definitely for the initial lights and usually for any relights that are needed as well, though I'll sometimes grab a lighter for a relight even indoors. Outdoors nothing works better than my Zippo, but I've always got matches on me as well, just in case.
