Product: Lighters IM Corona Pipe Lighter - Old Boy Chrome Pinstripe
It’s a splurge, and you might be indecisive. Do you really need to spend $150 on a lighter when matches, Bics and Amazon knockoffs can be had for a fraction of the cost? Yes. Yes, you do. A flame is the conduit of our smoking pleasure. There is no pipe smoking without it. The Old Boy comes boxed in an attractive blue vinyl and enclosed in a soft microfiber pouch. There’s a pleasant weight to it as you examine the sleek metallic figure which gleams in the light. When you fill it up and spark the flame, which comes out at the perfect angle for pipe smoking, you suddenly understand why you needed this. It is a lifetime lighter that will bring you quiet satisfaction every single time you use it — which will be quite a lot as a pipe smoker. Do not dither. Don’t think, just buy. You will thank yourself later....Read More

I purchased this lighter several months ago and its by far my favorite lighter. I hesitated buying it on the price but gotta say I'm glad I did.

I have two of these. Great lighters. Have used one for three years of daily use and never any issues. Much better functionality and longevity than the Kiribi. The hinge mechanism is much better in the Old Boy as well.

For an accessory as often used as a pipe lighter it doesn't pay to compromise, the feel in hand and consistant reliability are well worth the extra bucks in the long run. If you are on the fence between the Old Boy and something similiar go for the real deal.
Super lighter

I bought this lighter in 2015 and it is still a fantastic lighter, the only downside is that the tamper broke already once
Excellent and elegant pipe lighter.

I happened to get one of these before I started shopping here on this site, but I wanted to chime in here as this is my go-to, indoor pipe lighter. My previous lighter was from another prominent Japanese manufacturer, and over the course of a years use, that lighter slowly worked itself apart: small screws became loose and would not return to tightness, the flame quality degraded,and eventually it began to leak butane...now having had this exact make and model for about the same amount of time, I have had NO issues with fit or finish or daily use. The price was about twice as much as the other brand, but in this case, you do seem to get what you pay for! Great looks, and quality build. Would love to add a sterling Sillems version down the road. Update Feb 2025... 5 years down the road this thing still works, still looks great... can't complain... the weight and quality bring me pleasure every time I fire up a bowl...I'd like to get a Silver barley one now to carry with me......Read More

The lighter works great. It is a quality tool. My only complaint is the flint screw continually loosens. When it does not fire I know to tighten the screw

I have have a few of these lighters, and they are worth it. Super reliable and very elegant classic looking. The only downside is it they require little maintenance once in awhile. Which isn't troublesome. Such as cleaning and bleeding out the air that will get trapped inside the fuel tank. But all are very simple to take care of...Read More

I have owned this pipe lighter with the angled flame for four years now and it has been perfect. Superior to the Dunhill lighters I have owned and a hell of a lot less money!

Update: after six years of having this Corona Old Boy lighter as a companion, this little gem has still not disappoint

Disappointed!

Product: Lighters IM Corona Pipe Lighter - Old Boy Chrome Pinstripe
I have had this lighter for a couple of years with only moderate use. The last 6 months I noticed that it wasn't holding the butane every time that I filled it up. I just dealt with it but after continued frustration I thoroughly examined the lighter. It has developed a leak where the gas comes out to create a flame when sparked. The top hinged part of the lighter, when down, is supposed to seal this area tight. I love the lighter, it's substantial in weight and it's very classy looking, so this is all very disappointing. I will send it off to be repaired for a flat rate of $36.00. In the meantime, my two trusty Zippo pipe lighters are working like a charm!...Read More
