+Barring such bizarre contraptions as parabolic mirrors, lasers, and miniature blowtorches, there are three ways to light your pipe: with a match, with a butane lighter, or with a fluid lighter (e.g. a "Zippo").  For a great source of information on Pipe Lighters click [http://www.pipelighters.net here] to read reviews on varying brands and styles of pipe lighters; both well know lighters [http://www.pipelighters.net/pipe-lighters/zippo-pipe-lighter-classic-chrome-only-13-65 Zippo] or [http://www.pipelighters.net/pipe-lighters/xikar-scribe-pipe-lighter Xikar] or some other less know brand as [http://www.pipelighters.net/pipe-lighters/tsubota-pearl-eddie-pipe-lighter Tsubota's Pearl Eddie].

 Butane lighters are more convenient than matches, and, unlike fluid lighters, there is less risk of imparting an unpleasant taste to your tobacco. If you wish to use a butane lighter, then purchase one that is designed for pipes. Such lighters have an angled gas outlet that makes it easier to direct the flame into the bowl while avoiding burned fingers.
