Lighter recommendation

Definitely this weekend, but only for a short visit. The wife is letting me pick out a pipe for Fathers Day. Probably be Saturday but couldn't honestly say yet. Being 30 miles away from the only B&M around sucks.

As you've bought a pipe Zippo (don't forget to buy the black can of lighter fluid as it's less smelly than the regular fluid), you might like to add a Thunderbird butane insert: http://www.walkerbriarworks.com/html..._lighters.html

Made in America with a lifetime warranty, angled and adjustable flame and you can see the fluid level (in the right light). I only use the Zippo insert now when I backpack over 8,000 feet or so where butane lighters don't work. Yjr T-bird insert has a more "precise" flame and does a better job, IMO.
