Lighters lets see them

[syngent]

We have threads for pipes and cigars,, even a thread for pics of us smoking our favourite things, after searching for something for myself I noticed there are so many great looking options for a lighter both new and vintage from cheap to expensive and desktop or travel. Thought a thread sharing what you use that you love and more great pictures would be a great idea.

So let's see what you use gentlemen !

I have a few Dunhills and some other expensive lighters but this is the one I carry.



I have had it for a number of years but Zippo is still one of the best lighters still made.

Nice Zippo, ill put mine up when i get home, but i would love to see your dunhill as well !

A hold out from my cig smoking days. Carved my name in them so I could take them back from friends that walked off with them. They still get used for my pipes when the zippo runs out of fuel or the matches are on the far side of the room and whatnot.

How do those vintage straight style ones work as far as performance I mean, see them on the bay all the time they worth picking one up ?

[Argonaut]

They work, but they can be fussy, the Zippo is much more reliable and lasts longer per re-fuel.

Heresy- you must buy one for its 50's styling and cool name "The Nimrod"

[syngent]

I think i must at some point in my lift own something that is called nimrod, if nothing else when people call me by that name i can pretend to think they were refering to my lighter

[Commander Quan]

The Nimrod isn't as windproof as a zippo either.

Im waiting to see if anyone has cool vintage ones like these'

then a brass tamper by Paul Tatum
hippy trippy Zippo w/pipe insert and finally a Dupont X-tend torch for ceegars.

have an old Ronson that's pewter and similar table lighter lying around somewhere from the 30's or 40s I'm told - an old wick system - but it probably hasn't worked since before I was born.... if I can find it I'll snap a pic :)

Now its a conspiracy! Where are the black helicopters?


Here are a couple from some old photos in my gallery-





The Nimrod is in here somewhere-

[joshua1970]

it's def a beauty.... fortunately it was a gift from the gentlemen at the Original Tinder Box in Santa Monica- guess they figured I deserved it having spent what I spent there over the years (was buying cigars through the boom, and then pipes starting in 96ish) LMAO ahhh,

My name is Joshua and I'm an addict.


don't use it much these days.... though it was NOS when I got it (circa 1997) def quality - but the im coronas are my go to lighters indoors ;)

Bic user here, too. Need to get a pipe lighter, but too busy buying tobacco.

My experience with the Nimrod is that I sometimes puff hard enough when lighting my pipe to extinguish the lighter.
