I’m looking to get a new pipe lighter. I like the Old Boy style. IM Corona is more expensive and is the standard of excellence in pipe lighters. Kiribi is also considered a really good pipe lighter.

Is the Kiribi as good as IM Corona or spend a bit more and get the industry best? I don’t have any experience using either lighter.

Sorry I missed this post Mike. I have both and they are really good lighters that hold a lot of fuel. My IM Corona is my favorite due to the styling but both work well. Do not use Zippo flints in these, they're too hard.

Top is the Old Boy Black Engine Turned the bottom is the Kabuto Black Nickel

Andy, what flints do you use? Thanks for the feedback.

Prometheus, IM Corona, or Kiribi, whichever is the best deal or available at the time.

Andy, which gas nozzle adapter do you use for these two lighters?

No adapter required for Lava or Blazer fuel.
