Corona Old Boy -
flint & butane lighter.
Arguably, the world's
best all- round pipe
lighter, it features an
adjustable flame and a
retractable pipe
tool/tamper in the base.
Available in a choice of
finishes, it's a favourite of
many PCoL members.
The only downsice - it's a
bit pricey.

LOWER LEFT: Zippo - solid brass Harley-Davidson "Patriotic
Eagle". The classic Zippo is a versatile little beast. Your
favourite standard size (non-slim) lighter can be retro-fitted
with a pipe lighter insert.
This lighter replaces an identical one lost on a forest walk in
2007. It's an efficient pipe lighting tool and also serves as a
tribute to my one and only mistress, a 2003 Harley-Davidson
FLHRCI Road King Classic. From the Johnny Long
collection - PCol UK603F.
