Ambrogio.L Wheel Lighter,Vintage Trench Lighter Pure Copper Creative Brass Cigarette Lighter for Collection Decorative Gift,#1

I've purchased two different trench lighters, this one arrived first, and it was the one I thought I would like least. But, actually, I have a feeling I'm going to like this the most ! It's heavy, feels great in the hand, lights perfectly and looks really neat. I really like the three flame openings. If you like to smoke the good stuff (void where prohibited) this device has a neat feature, if you know what I mean, and I think you do. Light it, place one hole downwards on the "bowl" and inhale gently, it will pull the flame from the top hole to the bottom, thus igniting your ground up goodies. Everyone will want one.

For the price, substantial with premium feel. Mechanically, works just like a Zippo pipe lighter, takes Zippo flints and fuel as well. One advantage over the Zippo is that the tank screws in shut, so the fuel evaporates less. Compact but heavier than a Zippo. Another advantage, unlike the Zippo, the flint chamber can accommodate multiple flints. A couple of disadvantages compared to the Zippo: 1. awkward to handle single-handedly, you can easily burn yourself; 2. flawed flint chamber, when the plunger is removed--necessary to replace flint--the locking screw falls out; 3. despite strength of flame, not as protective as Zippo under windy conditions; 4. costs about twice as much as comparable Zippo. Nevertheless, an outstanding pipe lighter for the price; my current go-to when smoking my (yes, tobacco) pipe.

Excellent lighter, I'm very happy with it. Pros: it's very solid and well built. It has an easy to use fuel reservoir that conserves fuel. The window flame design allows you to use with a pipe. Cons: it's heavy, very heavy for a lighter. Solid, billeted brass. And the flint passage design it a little odd and cumbersome to use, but luckily you won't have to use it often since flints usually last a while. All-in-all, I'd recommend it. I am happy with it, it's a great lighter. Maybe not an everyday carry lighter, but a good novelty to say the least. Note: it comes with a flint already in it, so no need to take out the flint spring to add one.

Getting hard to find nice pipe lighters anymore...everyone wants those blow torch lighters (which will RAPIDLY DESTROY a Briar Wood Tobacco Pipe!), you want a 'cool' naptha lighter...so 'old-school Zippo' or similar. Problem is, Zippo has almost abandoned Tobacco Pipe Lighter inserts! You can't buy them individually online, and they only offer a few of them in cases anymore. So, Zippo abandoned their customer base, I went looking elsewhere...and found this SOLID BRASS lighter! The mechanics are VERY WELL MADE, as good as ANYTHING anyone has ever come up with previously. Precision machining, well thought out, very nice visual presentation, works on lighter fluid (naptha) or kerosene and of course, the old 'Zippo-style' flints...just doesn't get much simpler than that. Provides a large flame in a conventional 'draw down' hole for actually lighting a pipe! I just can't say enough about this lighter...and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone who smokes a pipe to consider buying this brass work-of-art!

Very heavy and well made. In the stock photos it had a big ugly screw and bolt holding the flint wheel in place. Mine came with a much nicer sunken screw. Lights up first time, every time so far. It's not as fast to light as a zippo and it's easier done with two hands but that is ok. It's a great design, very happy with it.

The lighter came with a 3 inch wick right out of the package already inside the chimney. The only issue I have is the lighter holes do make lighting things a little difficult as the flame is a little random depending on the level of fluid in the tank, as well as the wick being the most difficult I've ever tried threading through to replace. The top does come off but the instructions show it needing to be threaded through the bottom which again, very difficult. I'd go with their forever match instead.

It's not often that I am happier with an Amazon purchase than I'd hoped to be, but this lighter exceeded all expectations. You'll notice, first thing, right out of the box, it's substantial. It's heavy. Too heavy, I think, to carry in your pocket as an everyday utility lighter. Perfect though, for a parlour chair table lighter. . It's very well crafted with no milling flaws, that I can see. It functions both as a cigarette and pipe lighter, with ports on the sides and front. It has a closed off wick to alleviate, or reduce evaporation. Which is thoughtful because the fuel reservoir is slight. I've bought lighters for much more, that I've liked much less. For an old school wick and wheel lighter, you could do much worse.

I use this soley to light my tobacco pipe. It would probably be difficult to use for much else considering it's design. Pros: heavy, sturdy and reliable. Some people like light tools, I love copper and brass so the weight doesn't matter to me, you'll get used to it and plus the copper will age beautifully especially with the consistant heat. Cons: requires a lot of attention. It's become a habbit to refill it everytime I pull it out because it seems to let the fuel evaporate pretty easily. But with a light that looks so cool and is so efficient I could care less 10/10 would buy recommend and buy another
