My New Pipe Lighter - Kiribi Kabuto Mizo Silver

Music: "Acoustic Breeze" from Bensound.com

[@_zilo9000]

I bought a Kiribi from you over a year ago and it works great. I love that lighter!

[@GhostCob]

Good to see you my friend. I am gonna go over and check them out. Blessings from Gettysburg Pa

[@akranov]

I've got a Peterson chrome lined silver lighter (same as Bradley from Stuff and Things) and it's almost identical to yours (also double flame) with the sole exception of that samurai looking flip tip. I wonder if they're made in the same factory in Japan. For cost and fuel capacity, I prefer these to the Old Boy lighters that sacrifice butane storage for that small pipe tool.

[@pipingandcamping]

I like the old style look it has to it. Happy piping brother

[@PiperHipsz]

Beautiful lighter my friend. One day I’ll get my hands on one of these. All the best, be you.

[@tillerman7oh870]

Eddie: Damn it.... you got me. Just ordered one of those today. Hope you get some flints in soon!!!

[@ThePipeNook]

As soon as Kiribi ships them out, I'll have them! They've been backordered for some time. For anyone who sees this, I'll let you know that even though Kiribi flints are the best made, quality flints I've ever seen, I've never even used them. Flints last a LONG time, and I've been using a small pack of either Zippo or Ronson flints that I purchased some 20 years ago. :)

Fantastic video! Thanks Eddie

[@russellschultz7312]

I certainly enjoy mine, very solid!

[@bonapiper5827]

Eddie, Kiribi (切り火) translate to "a fire" while Mizo (溝) means groove. Great lighters. I like the Kuroi.

[@paulkukiel3725]

I have the Kabuto Kori with the black leather and silver “K” on it. So, it feels kind of monogrammed for me!! ;) I love it!!

[@DocBravo]

I will put a couple of these lighters on my next order! Thanks Eddie

[@jakeclancy2973]

Some sweet lighters there!

[@PipeandTamper]

I have a couple of Kiribi’s and they’re fantastic.

[@garystaud5022]

On the wish list. My wooden matches have that great, soft flame, but the relights necessitate having some sort of receptacle for the spent strikes. The Kiribi or another 320 or 673 [if I don't win the VR GAW, lol] Tough choice.

[@daspiper8941]

Eddie, it is a double flame. Kiribi lighters have two holes in their nozzle, thus the double flame appearance.

[@garbagemanpiper]

I need to pull mine out of the draw. Thanks for reminding me I have one! 👍🍭🐓

[@tillerman7oh870]

GMP: You make me laugh... I need to up my lighter and tamper game. I use a bootleg butane zippo insert. I would grade it as a C- at best.

[@garbagemanpiper]

I left it on the shelve and bought more bugs they are the best! I have them every where!🍭🐓👶

[@jerryknight6055]

Hello Eddie. The chrome and black lighter is a Mikazuki, I believe. A couple of weeks ago, you were lamenting not being able to get Peterson tobaccos. I don't know if it has any thing to do with the tobacco end and I don't know if you were aware but Laudisi, parent of Smokingpipes.com bought Peterson Pipes around July of last year.

[@ThePipeNook]

Yes, I had heard that they bought Peterson pipes...but not the pipe tobacco portion of the business. Recently, I've heard through the YTPC grapevine that Peterson Tobaccos were purchased by Scandinavian Tobacco Group, and that their versions of Peterson Tobaccos will be in circulation soon, hopefully sometime this year. I also heard that not all of the Peterson Tobaccos will be making a return...some blends will be discontinued, but we're not sure which ones just yet.

[@johngaldieri5535]

I also have the Kiribi Kabuto and it is awesome!!!

[@jimmybobo]

Great lighters. Mine is 2 years old and not one issue with it. I use it 100% of the time. Holds a lot of butane as you mentioned.A breeze to open and light quickly.

[@challengerdart3731]

Good vid Eddie. Thanks.

[@smokingbuddymatt6131]

expensive; yes. However; they are priced about the same as a decent pipe from Savenelli, so instead of buying another pipe just pick up a fine lighter.

[@JPC326]

How would you compare the quality of this one vs a Xikar or a Tsubota Pearl ?

[@ThePipeNook]

Kiribi pipe lighters are some of the best available, and to my estimation, far better than Xikar lighters. I don't have any experience with Tsubota lighters, however.

[@danielleslie6771]

do you ship to Canada? I want to buy this lighter

[@ThePipeNook]

I'm sorry, but I only ship within the US. You may be able to purchase one from Smokingpipes.com, I'm not sure...

[@thehairball5526]

I like the choice cob paired with an 80 dollar lighter.

[@ThePipeNook]

Life is good! :)

[@Pipedude1993]

Hey Eddie is the Peterson pipe lighter bigger than kiribi Kabuto pipe lighter

[@ThePipeNook]

No, they're about the same size.

[@Pipedude1993]

Thanks Eddie I'm about to order one maybe from you if you have any kiribi Kabuto pipe lighter's take care Eddie

[@salmonline]

That lighter's hot...HA!

[@bjdenil]

Think the black was called a Mitazuki or something like that (sp?)

[@ThePipeNook]

Kiribi Mikazuki.

[@RelaxedpiperYoutube]

I love Japanese products and own the same one. However, mine never worked out of the box. Their customer service is nonexistent, took many emails up the chain to get a response. In the end, they never did what they said they would do and replaced it. Instead, they claimed to have sent it to the repair shop, came back, and still would not light. In my opinion, I would not waste your money. I now own a $100 paperweight.

[@ThePipeNook]

Sorry to hear about your trouble with that lighter. I'm not sure what company you purchased your Kiribi from, but I would have reached out to that company rather than Kiribi. I can tell you that I work directly with my customers to get defective lighters replaced, if within the 2-year manufacturers' warranty. Beyond that, I direct folks to the US-based Kiribi distributor, and have never had an issue. All the best to you for your future transactions! I'm here if you need me! Feel free to send me a message through the contact section of my website if you ever have any questions.

[@Mantooth1000]

Eddie you're drunk

[@ThePipeNook]

Wait, I am??

[@StamperTamper]

The Kiribi is cheap, I smoke one bowl a day and the hinge wears out in two years. Gas escapes, the flame may not go out and can become a fire hazard. SP has a monopoly on parts and only would sell them to me after making a bad review. They wanted me to spend $35 plus $20 international shipping to repair a $65 lighter every two years, on parts that cost around $2.50, don’t think so! The screws strip real easily, you’ll have to constantly keep them tight or they fall out or your lighter disintegrates in your hand. I have abandoned the Kiribi and can’t recommend it. After another bad review SP gave me my money back. Great customer service, but it was necessary to call them out over money grabbing tactics and marketing the lighter to us. I will be buying an IM corona old boy as soon as I find the one I like on sale, and according to chuck, this thing will hopefully last me ten years. Should have tried it from the start, but I am glad SP made good on the Kiribi.

[@ThePipeNook]

Interesting...I have 4 Kiribi lighters now, and haven't had anywhere near that kind of trouble...hardly any at all, and the little trouble I've had is due to me mistreating them...not cleaning them very often, using various kinds and quality of fuel, etc. I mistreat mine basically to test them, because I now carry them in my shop. They've all been champs! Laudisi is now their US distributor and has a repair shop here in the US, so international shipping should no longer be an issue. In any case, as I always say, use what works best for you!

[@StamperTamper]

@@ThePipeNook I’ve discovered a flaw and have a few videos I may post demonstrating this, but I am still talking with SP about it. When you light your pipe the flame can reach the polymer T hinge and melt it. It could be a reason, why it weakens so fast. A new hinge has a square face, mine (used) was rounded indicating it had melted and you hay want to check your Kiribi for this. You’ll have to change the angle in which you light your pipe, to lessen the risk. One reason I use a quality lighter is to avoid plastics, and you still have to worry about the risk of burning and inhaling that stuff with this lighter.
