Pipe lighters
Choosing a pipe lighter for smoking pipe is not only about aesthetics, but primarily affects the quality of the smoking experience.
In fact, pipe-specific lighters are designed with different features than cigarette lighters to ensure easy and smooth ignition.
In this article we will find out which are the best pipe lighters and why it is best to avoid other types, such as jet-flames.
The best pipe lighters
The best pipe lighters are undoubtedly those with soft flames.
But what makes them superior to classic cigarette lighters?
The answer is simple: the tilt of the flame. Pipe lighters are designed with a 45-degree tilted flame, which allows them to be brought closer to the stove without risking burning your hand, even when the flame is quite wide.
Piezoelectric models are also a good alternative: they provide good ignition and are often convenient to use. However, over time they may require more frequent maintenance. Petrol lighters, on the other hand, being mechanical, require only the replacement of the petrol stone once it is worn out.

To be avoided, however, are jet-flames. The overly concentrated flame tends to burn the tobacco excessively, raising the temperature of the brazier and risking damage to the rim of the tobacco pipe. They are perfect for cigars, but unsuitable for pipes.

Pipe matches
A viable alternative to lighters are matches, especially for those who appreciate a more traditional approach. However, it is important to choose carefully: it is best to avoid those with a high concentration of sulfur, which can alter the taste of tobacco during lighting.
The ideal choice falls to long matches, which offer greater convenience and safety during use. Sulfur-free matches are also available today, designed precisely to not release unpleasant odors and to ensure a more neutral ignition that respects the tobacco aroma.
