Lighters - Barling Baron Pipe Lighter Black
Great design. Handsome Ligher
These are reproductions of the Rothschild lighters. They're not as heavy, but they're well made, dependable, and designed for comfortable, safe, single hand use. They minimize rim darkening too.


Tampers & Tools - Passatore Black Matte Pipe Tool
Nice tool.
Some of these work better than others. They're well designed and well made to a point. My blade needs a sideways nudge to close all the way, and the pick is feeling loose. But then, I've used it pretty hard. It's a nice enough tool.


Lighters - **Barling Baron Pipe Lighter Chrome Stripes
Looks nice. Works well.
I was recently gifted an S.T.D. (oh, that sounds bad) from the 1970s. The difference in quality is apparent. But I wanted an angled pipe flame and didn't feel the need to pay for another STD. The Barling looks great and works smoothly. I'm not sure it will be around in 50 years like the Dupont will, but then neither will I.
