How to Smoke a Pipe: Stuff&Things Guide Part 12: "Lighting a Pipe: You Can ONLY Use Matches?"

[@leoluck68]

I am pleased to hear a calm voice in a sea of craziness... Thanks Bradley :)

[@blackcat138]

yes, his voice is so calm and masculine. Can't stop watching the video even though I am not into tapacco

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+leoluck68 - Thanks for watching!

[@YerIronLung]

This video made me want to try using a complex system of magnifying lenses and mirrors to light my pipe! Wish me luck...

[@razorbackpiperguy2898]

+Brian Acton (The Oatmeal Eater) Lol. Let us know how that goes.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Brian Acton (The Oatmeal Eater) - Ha. I'd like to hear your progress on this method as well.

[@user-Pied_Piper]

+Brian Acton (The Oatmeal Eater) : I got the biggest belly laugh of the day out of your insightful comment! Thanks!!

[@bartholomewfotheringay-phi5683]

Good advice. Pipers should always relax and use whatever method is the most comfortable and convenient. But you're right: pipe smoking seems to attract an inordinate number of pinky lifters. One factor that IS important in my view is never to superheat the tobacco on light up. A lot of smokers tend to puff aggressively when lighting up in search of the 'hit'. And it's a difficult habit to break. Lighting a pipe gently (and repeatedly, if necessary) brings out the best flavours and aromas and, most importantly, avoids tongue bite and helps to keep the palate fresh and unscathed. Achim Frank is one of the few pipe smokers who stresses this point. Judging from my own experience, I think he's absolutely right. Mark

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Bartholomew Fotheringay-Phipps - Very good points. Frank uses a lighter with a flame that most would consider too hot, but he uses it in such a way that the tobacco doesn't become overheated. It's not really WHAT you use to light your pipe, it's how you use it.

[@chuckfaust9534]

I agree with you whole-heartedly. Use what you like and don't let anyone tell you that your doing wrong.

[@saddletramp6113]

It's your pipe, it's your tobacco and it's your enjoyment. You're the one spending your money that you worked for to pay for the hobby and I agree, use what you like.

[@TheRealSpyderweb]

Bravo! The same is done in the cigar community as well. Other than not using a torch type lighter on a pipe (I'm afraid of burning the pipe), I think just about any method that works for you in lighting your pipe/cigar is fine. I did notice some slight smell/flavor from the fuel when I used a Zippo, so I switched over to a butane insert. But that's just me - if others don't detect it, then who am I to say they are wrong.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+TheRealSpyderweb - A very reasonable attitude.

[@casones007]

I agree with you completely. I suppose I may not have the most refined palate, but I do not see any harm in using methods other than matches. I find my trusty Zippo to do just fine, especially outdoors (where I do most of my pipe smoking). I can see how people can get a kick out of finding matches to be possibly more "authentic" when lighting, but I feel that you're doing no harm using lighters as long as you're enjoying the hobby, and that people should just be able to do as they wish. I'm just happy that there's more people out there smoking pipes!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Minnesota Sones - Well said. I think the fact that pipe smoking is definitely more of an old-school hobby makes matches seem appealing. No harm in them, but they can be a bit inconvenient at times.

[@nitefly-music]

I absolutely agree with everything. Great video. I use what ever is at hand and works. But no matches.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Marc Hertlein - thanks for watching! I use matches sometimes, but it's usually too much of a hassle.

[@matts6551]

Well said Bradley. Can't go wrong with the Peterson.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Matt S - It's served me well for two years!

[@KevinTwiner]

Great points for enjoying your pipe. Thank you sir

[@CATDABOSS]

Wonderful video of discussion! My only problem with Zippos is when I smoke a very light blend. If I smoke a full bodied English I can't tell any difference, but if I have a light Virginia, even some orientals, I can get just a bit of odd flavor on a retro-hale. It isn't enough to ruin the flavor, but I notice it. That being said I'm indoors or covered frequently when I smoke, so a soft flame is my go to usually.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Big Bear - Soft flame works great for me in most circumstances as well. Thanks for watching!

[@mid-westpipesmoker8245]

Good video, I do agree there seems to be a stigma around the pipe smoking community about not using matches. I started with matches but I got annoyed by the smell of the matches covering the smell of my tobaccos. In my opinion soft flame lighters are more convenient and efficient at lighting pipes.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Mid-West Smoker - Soft-flame butane is definitely more convenient. Thanks for watching!

[@crow2396]

Good video Bradley. I have noticed the same with matches as well as zippo 's. You just have to exercise a bit of caution. As far as my lighting methods, I use all of the above. They're all great, just as long as I get flame to my tobacco.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Crow - Indeed. Whatever works!

[@schlagi1]

Bradley, while I completely agree with your message to use what woks, and there are no set in stone concepts, I would like to add one observation re: the matches. The matchbox you showed seemed to contain rather short, "household length" matches; using these, given the shortness of the match and the time needed to evenly light the tobacco, inevitably one has to begin lighten while the matched has not yet burnt off. Since the matchhead does contain sulfur and/or other smelly flaming agents (and even more so with "light everywhere"/storm matches), there is indeed a potential for bad taste. Hence, the "purists" I know recommend to use long matches (cigar matches), and to let the head burn off first...

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+schlagi1 - I know. Those just happened to be the only matches I had around at the time. The point wasn't really whether matches are good to use (I think they're fine), but whether the other methods are any WORSE than matches. Thanks for watching!

[@Wardog418]

I agree with you. People should use any method they like. The one thing I will say about zippos is that in that initial light I do get a hint of lighter fluid but I blame the cheap lighter fluid I buy. I wasn't getting it with zippo brand fluid. My two cents. Take care and enjoy the smokes.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Wardog418 - The Zippo brand fluid does seem to be a bit more pure.

[@thedempseyfam]

Great vid and perspective... I agree, that you should use what you like. My personal favorite is a zippo with a butane pipe insert. I'm a zippo fan for nostalgic reasons but hate worrying about evaporation with zippo fuel. The butane insert makes sure I always have fuel!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Joshua Dempsey - The normal Zippo inserts DO evaporate very quickly. I always have to top it off before I leave the house.

[@jll182msstate]

Love the videos they are so helpful. Thank you. So, like I said earlier, you have gotten me excited about smoking my pipe again and I am purchasing some Dunhill standard and Elizabethan. I just found out that there is a really nice tobacco store in my state that has been around for 40 years making their own blends and etc. When you have time I want you to check it out, they have a youtube channel called The Country Squire. When I go their I am going to buy some of their tobacco and send it your way. Keep up the good work.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Luke Lawson - The Country Squire. That definitely sounds familiar. Thanks for watching!

[@alphatango1358]

Thanks for sharing your feelings and thoughts ... experiences ... greetings from New York

[@jerseyhovidea]

Totally agreed

[@jasonfonzo8200]

Good video. I use a Federation issue Type II phaser on setting 4 to light all of my bowls.

[@Mantinae]

Good video, Bradley. I'm a Zippo guy myself. I like it's reliability and convenience of use, and as far as the fluid «flavoring» the tobacco, well, I do taste it a little, but only on the first draft or so - and it disappears pretty quickly. Fun fact, I really hate matches : can't seem to get anything lit with them, and I always end up burning up my fingertips...To each his own, I guess ;). - Mike

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Michaël Claveau - Definitely. To each their own!

[@IslandPipers]

Good advice. I'm a what ever flame works kind of pipe smoker. Although, for what ever reason enjoy using a match if the weather permits, which is rarely the case where I usually smoke. Maybe it's just because it adds to the experience of what has been a hobby from the past.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Island Piper - Yes, the ritual of using matches can be enjoyable - just not always practical.

[@BEEJAYEEEEEEE]

STUFFandTHINGS That sulfer taste passes soon enough, I actually learned to keep matches at hand when smoking cigarettes, particularly for windy events because not even a strong wind can challenge the matches short ignition power.

[@razorbackpiperguy2898]

Yeah, too many people think that their way is the only way. Pipe smoking is a very individual hobby. There are so many different pipe shapes and so many different blends of tobacco that you smoke what you personally like. No one is right or wrong. Likewise your method of lighting your pipe is the same way. Hell, if I'm smoking a cob, which is about half the time, I rarely use anything but a Bic. However if I'm smoking my pre-Republic Peterson or my Savinelli Punto Oro (my 2 nicest pipes) I have an angled lighter I use to avoid scorching the rim. But to each his own.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Razorback Piper Guy - Exactly. I definitely PREFER soft flame butane, but I'll use anything in a pinch.

[@lakonikos8791]

Good to see new videos on this playlist. Also, I'd like to suggest an episode for the guide on handling different blends with more or less nicotine. Speaking for myself, a great blend with a high N-level can provide an excellent smoke or an awful experience depending on the circumstances (time of day, what you ate before, the paired drink etcetera). Not knowing this can make a novice discard a good blend as "too strong" or "disgusting" and never try it again under a different circumstance. Well, I almost did it with SG Full Virgínia Flake in my early days of pipe smoking - which I love now.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Ricardo L. - That's a good idea. Time of day and all sorts of other factors can definitely effect your enjoyment.

[@gusevening4910]

Agreed. Great video. Old boy corona for me whenever possible. I do like the action of the zippo too.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Gus Evening - Thanks for watching!

[@distortzz]

Thumbs up cheers mate!

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

Apparently there are "low sulfur" matches but they ain't cheap - about $15 for a couple boxes - Swan is the brand I believe. When I do use matches (similar to the Diamond ones I think you have) I let the match burn a bit before I light the tobacco to reduce the amount of sulfur smell (not really any taste just smell). Probably about 75-90% of the time I'll use a Zippo - it works and I like the fact that I can get the fluid for cheap and service the lighters easily for next to nothing (flints and wicks). As always an excellent video!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Scott Warmbier - Thanks for watching! Yep, the sulfur smell does mostly burn off, but often by that time, the match is almost burned out.

[@bearcatpiper5900]

Preach it brother. I love the feel and sound of my zippo.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Bearcat Piper - It IS a very satisfying sound, isn't it? Both opening and closing.

[@Ckw200]

Ronsonol added a lot of flavor, in my experience, but with zippo brand fluid it's way less noticeable, especially if you let it burn off for a couple seconds before lighting the pipe. I use everything (except the torch lighters), it just depends what's laying around me.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Pwent - I find myself using just about everything too.

[@lefterisv.8079]

Hi, there's a subject with the burning temperature of a lighter..butane lighters can reach 3500 degrees Fahrenheit and matches only 1500 degrees so using matches you avoid overheating the baccy from the beginning...on the other hand it could be overheated by smoking too fast or deep. By the way thanks for your very interesting videos which I see every week. Keep on good job!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+L navyf - Yes, I've heard the relative temperatures mentioned as a reason for using matches, but again, I've never had any issue when using butane, so for me it's a moot point. Thanks for watching!

[@BeardlyGentlemen]

Hahaha, I remember that comment! Totally agreed, use what works; and yeah, there's very little hope for lighting out-of-doors with anything other then a Zippo. When I use matches I'm always cognisant of leaving time for the sulphur to burn off. Cheers, BG

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Beardly Gentlemen - Yes, Zippos are a life-saver when you're out of doors. It definitely helps to let the sulfur burn off a bit, but I think there's still just as much odor as any other method used. Thanks for watching!

[@thegreekpipesmoker4634]

You are very right

[@GillesCassidy]

I use each of the mentioned instruments. I have tasted sulfur a few times with matches (just let it burn a little before lighting the pipe), tasted fuel with Zippo (again, wait a few seconds for the fuel to dissipate because of the first light). Never had any issues with my soft-flame butane lighter. With Bic... I tend to burn my finger and only uses it when I am on trip which I need to fly there (do not want any problem with the custom officers). I understand that there might be a "protocol", but geeeeeeh, not true that matches is unflavored! Take care!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Gilles Cassidy - I've definitely scorched my fingers with a Bic before!

[@romulusremus7537]

Call me a purist but I only use burning sticks to light my pipe. I've found that Hickory, while perfect for latakia blends tends to ghost when used on Vapers. Burning oak or elm is best for those. Yes, I have to light up a campfire every time I want to smoke a pipe but it's worth it. P.S. I light the campfire with flint so that the campfire isn't ghosted by butane or sulphur.

[@BillTCat-id1yv]

BIC fine with me. Got tired of losing expensive lighters. Sometimes use spanish cedar spills.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Bill T. Cat - My fancy lighters usually stay at home. Zippo and/or Bic when I'm on the go.

[@passion4smoketopzstar905]

I'm using sulphur free Swan vesta's matches also butain cheap lighters and there good .no imparting of flavour on the tobacco

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+passion4smoke topstar - Whatever works!

[@ferdinandjahja477]

Stated clearly as crystal. Thanks for such a great video, I am agree with you, use whatever that works, Its just smoking a pipe, not a rocket science. And, nice fresh cut by the way.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Ferdinand Jahja - Ha. Thanks. It was time for a good shearing.

[@Thrasher6968]

Good advice. I hear if you let matches burn for awhile, the sulfur smell goes away, unless you are outside. Smoking a pipe outside takes dozens of matches; no thanks. I love my soft flame pipe lighter.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Rodney Thrasher - Yes, the sulfur burns off to a degree, but there is still an odor, even if just of burning wood. Thanks for watching!

[@swaggy1926]

I enjoy your channel quite immensely. I was wondering if you have had Petersons Irish flake and your thoughts.?

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+swaggy1926 - I certainly have! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sF7LhHmpaamdhpI

[@swaggy1926]

+Stuff&Things Thank you sir

[@ollewahlroos7680]

Matches and soft flame butane lighter indoors, outdoors Zippo...as I've said many times, pipe smoking is not rocket science...it's just a lifestyle to relax and enjoy heavenly aroma of your favorite blend...have you tried latest incarnation of Three Nuns. Sorry to bother you again with a blend question,but you have quite often similar taste with mine. I like this latest incarnation of this famous Bell's blend.Have good start for the upcoming week.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Olle Wahlroos - Three Nuns is a major oversight in my review series. I will get it soon!

[@josephkimball742]

Hey Bradley you should give beeline a try... no fuel or sulfur !

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Joseph Kimball - That's that hemp wick right? I might try it out at some point.

[@josephkimball742]

Yup good stuff if you ask me all I use! keep a candle lit nearby so I can relight the wick if necessary

[@jamesh1984]

I started out using matches almost exclusively and did so for quite a few years. I recently got a Peterson pipe lighter and since using it haven't looked back. Flavour is so much cleaner, so much easier to light and keep lit (especially if outside) and most importantly for me, I get less bite. I see no reason to use matches and dont understand where the myth came from.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+James Hand - I use my Peterson lighter every day. Great lighter.

[@boiadedios]

my top 3 ways to start a pipe: 1) swedish matches, after the sulfur part is burned 2) pure butane gas in a soft flame lighter 3) cider wood from ciga boxes 4) bic 5) zippo in my honest opinion zippo is a big mistake but this is and remain just my opionion as a pipe smoker good job Bradley

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+boiadedios - Whatever works for you! That was really the point of the video. Thanks for watching.

[@johnnyice428]

I believe that the thought of only using matches comes from long ago. Before butane was being refined many times over. Now a days it's really not an issue. With the matches though, you need to let the sulfur burn off before lighting. It's like you said, what ever works for you😀.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+johnnyice428 - Yes, I think many people enjoy the traditional quality of using matches.

[@tito_berto]

Nice one Bradley! It's been a long time since I watched one of your videos. I use Jobon (with butane gas). It's kinda 2 in 1 lighter, soft flame and torch.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Robertson Poblete - Cool. Whatever works!

[@thesmoovepiper4356]

thanks Bradley very well said I use matches to light my pipe but I do want to buy a butane lighter and I like the old boy it's very cute and small I'm looking around to find a nice butane lighter on Amazon not too pricy will be buying one soon if u have any suggestions plz advise me thanks Bradley :)

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Peter Tucker - I'd recommend sticking to an Old Boy or a Peterson or another "premium" brand. the build quality and dependability is well worth it.

[@thesmoovepiper4356]

+Stuff&Things Hello Bradley thanks so much for the recommendation I e-mailed Peterson's and they emailed me back that they no longer carry the old boy style lighters I was so disappointed I thought for sure I'd be able to purchase one there if u know of any website that may carry the old boy style lighters plz let me know thanks Bradley and Happy Easter to you and ur family :)

+Stuff&Things ohh OK Bradley thanks I always order tobacco frm pipes&cigars I never thought of looking there for the old boy lighters there I get there catalog in the mail I never saw these lighter displayed may only can get them on line they have pipe lighter in the catalog but I'm sold on the old boy since I saw ur video lol

[@thesmoovepiper4356]

+Stuff&Things hello Bradley I tried to order the Peterson's crome lighter but it wouldn't take my credit card for some reason at GQ tobaccos my bank wouldn't let it go through ohhh boy I want that crome lighter so bad I may have too get the one frm pipes&cigars with the thinking man on it I don't really like that style with the old man on it and the price is a little more than GQ tobaccos I was wondering if I can send a money order not sure thou

[@Ebolson1019]

I matches and a bic, depending on what a find first. I'd probably even use a stick I pulled from a campfire.

[@WitchidWitchid]

My preference for lighting my pipes is to use wooden matches. The trick is to let the sulphur burn off the tip of the match before using it to light the pipe. Of course matches are not always practical. For instance if I want to light a pipe outside under windy conditions matches tend to just blow out as fast as you can light them. In such cases I'll either use a Zippo or else a jet-type butane lighter. If I am using the jet lighter I take care to hold the flame upside down and move the flame within very lose proximity to the tobacco but not actually touching the tobacco. Even without directly contacting the tobacco the jet-flame will throw off enough heat to gently light the tobacco. If I am indoors or on very calm days outdoors I will use wood matches if I have them on me. Sometimes when I am indoors I will also use wood splints to light my pipe. Ignite the end of the splint with a lighter or candle flame and then use the splint to light the tobacco.

[@CommodoreN64]

Pipe smoking is meant to be pleasureful. I find using matches can be quite teadious and frustrating. This obviously takes away the pleasure aspect. I use an IM Corona Old Boy most days and a Zippo with pipe insert on particularly windy days. These lighters are simple to use and impart no flavoring that I can detect. I agree with the opinions in this video.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Kyle Whitmore - That's pretty much my own approach as well, except I have a Peterson instead of an Old Boy.

I live in a Scotland genuinely few minutes from the sea, so it means truly and strongly windy weather.. I would like to see these `matches` guys to light a pipe with matches.. Good luck tho .. For almost two years I use only zippo and of course for a few times when I just learned how to fill it up properly I could detect quite a strong flavor of zippo fluid but after some time I have found a proper way and now there is truly no problem at all .. I have bigger problem with matches where sulfur has a powerful after taste even when burned out and so many times happened (not only to me) that `head` of match just felt into my tobacco in pipe bowl.. Also so much rubbish when one using them .. simply no to matches again. I personally do not use them anymore, but if somebody like them and want use them .. that`s just fine for me. I genuinely do not care how person light his pipe, but I more care about his favorite tobaccos, pipe collection, etc .. different style of light a pipe, different taste in pipes or tobaccos, but still my pal pipesmoker ;)

[@pipesmokercowboychris]

I use Zippo and I don't detect any sort of lighter fluid taste.

[@ernestsheffield9976]

Get that flame any closer and you'll be smelling burnt nose hairs. Not a good smell. Burnt those several times in the smithy. My take on all of this very Libertairian. It's YOUR pipe. YOU paid for it. So YOU get to determine what goes in it, how to pack it, and what to light it with. Personal preference of mine is either a small burning piece of hardwood charcoal if in the smithy, or a soft flame butane lighter if in my smoke room.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Ernest Sheffield - I guess I'm Libertarian in the way I approach pipe smoking as well. Thanks for watching!

[@distortzz]

Hemp wick?....

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

+distortzz I've been meaning to try that just out of curiosity. I was looking for bulk wick for my Zippos and that came up. Aside from people thinking I wasn't smoking tobacco in my pipe I don't see much in the way of downside...

[@rickbissell8678]

I think the best advice for a new pipe smoker is to try ALL of these methods and decide for yourself.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Rick Bissell - Agreed.

[@mrnobody6354]

Butane is by far the most environmentally friendly option to light your pipe.

[@rvz77]

holy shit. every time I hear a stupid nonsense "hug a tree' comment, it makes me feel like I'm outside a "box". NO, I have over decades held an open very educated scientific mind on life. the liberal hug a tree movement may be HIP, but it's so much more over used & retarded. that's another anti liberal word

[@ROY-COLLEY]

I agree no problem with soft flame lighter. I use the same Peterdon as you have there. Remember Sherlock Holmes use to use a lump of coal off his fire. WELSH COAL OF COURSE 😆

[@wicklowpiper4097]

I'm by no means an expert on pipe smoking but I personally wouldn't use a zippo, I use a Clipper pipe specific lighter.

[@jllucas39]

I have no problems with my zippo. but I would use a burning sock if I had nothing else

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+jllucas39 - I hope it never comes to that!

[@adrianbenson2521]

Maybe I'm a barbarian, but I find lighting a pipe with matches is a colossal pain in the ass. I can never get it going with just one match. I only use them if nothing else is available. I much prefer soft butane, though I'm fond of my Zippo. My favorites are the handful of people who insist that a hemp wick lighter is the only way to go. Sooo you need a lighter to light your lighter. Makes sense.

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Adrian Benson - the hemp wick has been getting a lot of love in the comments section!

[@TommyRepulsed]

when you try to give a whiff to a butane lighter flame, you will find it smells like burnt nose hair...

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+TommyRepulsed - Ha. Very true.

[@thesmoovepiper4356]

oh OK I'll do that plz keep ur fingers crossed for me lol

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+Peter Tucker - I ordered mine from GQ, so I'm sure you'll be able to work it out.

[@thesmoovepiper4356]

+Stuff&Things yes Bradley I said that u must have gotten it frm GQ cause the price was the same and the lighter was the crome pinstripe the same like u have that's the one I want it's very classic I really love it Bradley I hope I can get it

[@thesmoovepiper4356]

+Stuff&Things Hello Bradley how are you this morning hope all is well and u had a wonderful Easter I wanted to let u knw that I was able to get the Peterson's old boy style lighter Frm GQ Tobacco's I had to do it through PayPal account and it went through I'm sooo happy Bradley lol thank you so much for all ur help :)

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

I'm glad it worked out.

[@thesmoovepiper4356]

+Stuff&Things thanks Bradley when I receive it in the mail I'll definitely let you know

[@MrCouchIncident]

Couch's Grandpop always used a Zippo. So, Couch uses a Zippo. Naturally, Couch rules so my way of flame is the best. With that said, Couch Grandpop was bat shit crazy. Heredity is a cruel mistress.

[@jianhoang]

I use zippo and all sorts of light they are fine....For me the worst nightmare is when i couldn't find any light after i pack up a bowl ..:D

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

+larry lee - Major crisis! ;-)

[@josephkimball742]

YEEAAAHHHH!!!

[@bobanddonnareynolds1226]

I love my zippo. Why because I love the smell and taste of Ronsonol lighter fluid. I even sprinkle some on my home fries.

[@user-Pied_Piper]

You guys (especially the two pinheads who gave a "thumbs down") have it ALL WRONG!!! THIS is what you do.... Find yourself a book of paper matches. Extract one of them from the pack. Take a pair of scissors and cut off the match head. Use a currently lit candle to light the match on the base of the match (not the match head end). Light your tobacco non-aggressively. Use several matches if you must. Tamp. Relight using the same method as before. This IS a bit cumbersome, but, it's THE ONLY WAY! Why? Because I said so!!!

[@user-Pied_Piper]

+Stuff&Things : Bradley, if anyone takes seriously what I just wrote above, they can PM me and I'll deal with it. I've got to say, I had more good laughs out of your video AND the comments I've read so far, than I've gotten out of KZbin in weeks. I completely agree with what you stated in your video and your comments. I also think that it has a lot to do with the types of personalities that are attracted to, and indulge in, pipe smoking. Some of the Pipe Nazis just need to chill out!

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]
