Product: Lighters Kiribi Kabuto Black Matte
Update - I used this lighter for one pipe a day for 71 days before I needed to refill it with butane (probably would have even lasted longer if I hadn’t played with it constantly when I got it). I don’t know how they do it but they manage to regulate... Read More
the butane for maximum fuel efficiency. I got this lighter as a Christmas present from my wife and it absolutely is the best lighter I’ve ever owned. One reason I absolutely wanted the lighter bought from SmokingPipes is because if for some reason something on the lighter should break I know they can lead me to the resources to get it fixed. The site’s customer service is the best in the business. Ok now back to the lighter - It is exceptionally gorgeous and well built. You can feel the quality of the lighter as soon as you grasp it in your hand and spark the flame. The way you use this lighter is different than any lighter I’ve used before. It took me about 30 seconds to get it down. You flip up the gas valve cover’s curved extension using your thumb and flick the striker wheel with your pointer finger. Flame is adjustable from blowtorch size to birthday candle size. Flame is slightly angled. Goodbye rim charring. Filling the lighter literally takes two seconds and the fill lasts an exceptionally long time. I used a huge bottle of Ronson butane to fill mine and it works just fine. I don’t think there is really any need to buy ‘luxury’ branded butane that costs twice as much because butane is butane no matter how fancy the can looks. Flints are easily replaceable and available on this site. The flints come in a cool little glass bottle with a cork stopper and should provide at least a decade of daily use. This lighter will be staying at home because I am not going to risk losing it somewhere. Smoking a pipe should be a relaxing and luxurious activity so put away the gas station lighter and pick up some good hardware that is built to last a lifetime. Good tobacco, a nice pipe and a beautiful lighter will completely change your pipe smoking experience. Read Less
Exceptional Lighter

For the price, this lighter is exceptional. Once filled with butane this lighter fires up about 3 times as long as other lighters I own. Very good flame control.

Really well made for such a reasonable price; this little guy packs a good tank and excellent flame control in a trusty lighter.

Verry solid lighter, the striker was a little stiff at first but loosened up with use. Very reliable yet not wind resistant.
Solid Design

Far happier with this purchase than I had anticipated. My pipes have never been lit so uniformly! I really thought I was going to feel like I over-spent on this item, but the more I use it, the happier I am that I decided to make the investment.
Wonderful Lighter

If you're looking for just one lighter to purchase for you pipe smoking needs, this is the one. Made in Japan kinda says it all. Great build quality, stylish, and most importantly, functional. You'll get a light every time, and as iconic as Zippo l... Read More
ighters are, I would take a Kiribi over it. Well worth the price in my opinion.
Update: After using this lighter for a few years now, I would say this is still a good quality lighter, however; it may be better suited to those who have the luxury of smoking inside. If you have to smoke outside, some patience is required. Zippos stand up better to the elements. Read Less

Product: Lighters Kiribi Kabuto Black Matte
Some 40+ years ago I had a couple of bad experiences with a brand of refillable lighters that turned into a couple of expensive paperweights, The reviews here convinced me to give this one a try...I'm glad I did. The thing that convinced me besides t... Read More
he reviews was the Kabuto piece, as it has a different look from the basic old style design and I found it to be more natural in deployment with a downward flick of the thumb. The other thing that made this lighter attractive was the price...all the same features of the more similar and more expensive lighters. BONUS.
Liked it so much ordered another in brushed chrome for my other pipe bag. Read Less

Product: Lighters Kiribi Kabuto Black Matte
Received the lighter today and am very happy with it. Has a pleasing heft and lights easily & reliably, once you've gotten used to it. Also like the adjustability of the flame height - anywhere from a small nub of light to a bonfire. Yet it ma... Read More
