Picked butane cause that is what I just used. I prefer matches for the cooler light and style when I have time to sit and zone in, but butane is my everyday for portability and user friendliness.
I pick matches. Long Kitchen Length or Cigar matches at home. Little pocket size for mobility. Every good Butane, even both types of inserts for Zippos I ever had passed away. Bics feel like u r upside down and burn my fingers.

xikar old boy knock-off since my genuine, old school, old boy was stolen by a dirty low-down lighter stealing no good bum. or matches when i forget to take a can of butane along on the road... go figure.
I think I will order a IMCO or 2. From what I have heard They can't be beat for price and reliability. Haven't seen them anywhere online though. I'll do a search on IMCO Australia.
Thanks JP
Around the house I use an Old Boy; on trips I use a Pipe Master; when I'm outside I use a Zippo slimline unless it's real windy and have to use a Zippo pipe lighter. When I can't find any of the above I use matches. :lol:
