The Standard for Pipe Lighters
January 18, 2025
Product: Lighters IM Corona Pipe Lighter - Old Boy Black and Chrome Engine Turned
Yep, this is the tried and true standard for all pipe lighters. I want to rate it less than 5 stars for the price, but I can’t - let me explain why. I have tried several other pipe lighters from other manufacturers, but this one has them ALL beat in almost every single way. Fuel capacity somehow is better even though the size of the lighter is among the smallest. Cleaning, changing the flint and refilling are all a breeze with no disassembly required. Adjusting the flame can be done with your fingernail. The finish on this chrome engine turned version is very durable. Out of the box the finish was very tactile, almost textured G10-like. Over time this has smoothed out slightly, but I like it either way. Super easy to use and the flame angle provides great control when holding over your pipe chamber. The tamper and pick are great in a pinch but I prefer something more deliberate if I can bring a dedicated Chacom or 8deco with me. And don’t lose that tamper, as it’s $25 to replace. In summary, 5 stars all the way around. If I had to pick one lighter to use for the rest of my life, it would be an Old Boy. Value is great as so far I get the impression that it will outlast my lifetime outside maybe some eventual internal maintenance....Read More

Product: Lighters IM Corona Pipe Lighter - Old Boy Black and Chrome Engine Turned
This lighter is fairly reliable. It may get a little termpermental at times but that is likely user error (improper maintenance or tensioning). I intend to keep one around.
