Styles of Pipes and Lighter Selection?
I am looking to buy a vintage pipe. I'm curious about the differences between different shapes and angles of the stem. Is there any comfort difference? For instance, would a bent pipe be easier to grip between your teeth than a straight pipe of the same weight? How can I determine what shape I want without having the opportunity to try them all?
Second question: I want to buy a lighter for pipe and cigar smoking. Is butane the best, and are lighters better than using matches? What about brands? I'm looking to spend around $50 or so.
To me it does not matter if I am smoking a bent pipe or a straight pipe, they don't cause any discomfort to me. If you want to find out about all the different shapes check out this link. http://www.aspipes.org/shapes/shapes.html
That will give shape names and descriptions.
For lighting a pipe, I use a zippo and I use a butane pipe lighter. The key to a zippo is to let the flame burn for a couple seconds before applying to the tobacco. My butane pipe lighter is a lotus. They have other brands out there, colibri.
