About This Product

The Xikar Pipeline is a purpose-built soft-flame lighter designed specifically for smoking pipes. Its angled flame directs heat neatly into the pipe bowl, making it easier to achieve an even light while keeping the lighter in a comfortable position.

A traditional flint-wheel ignition complements the Pipeline’s classic styling, while refillable butane operation makes it a practical choice for regular use. An integrated pipe tool adds further convenience, keeping an essential accessory readily available without the need to carry a separate tool.

Compact, refined and designed around the needs of pipe smokers, the Pipeline combines Xikar’s modern lighter engineering with the traditional appeal of a soft flame.

How to Use
  1. Refill the lighter: Hold the Pipeline upside down and press a suitable butane refill nozzle firmly into the filling valve. Allow the fuel to settle before ignition.
  2. Prepare your pipe: Fill and gently pack the bowl, leaving sufficient airflow through the tobacco.
  3. Ignite: Operate the flint-wheel mechanism to produce the soft flame.
  4. Position the flame: Hold the lighter beside the pipe so the angled flame reaches across the tobacco surface without pushing the burner into the bowl.
  5. Light evenly: Draw gently through the pipe while moving the flame over the tobacco to establish an even light.
  6. Tamp if needed: Use the integrated pipe tool to settle raised tobacco between lights.
  7. Relight as required: Repeat with a gentle draw and brief application of the flame rather than prolonged heating.
Care & Maintenance
  • Wipe the exterior regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints and surface marks.
  • Clean around the burner gently with a soft brush to prevent tobacco particles and debris from accumulating.
  • Inspect the ignition mechanism periodically and remove loose flint dust where accessible.
  • Replace the flint when the ignition wheel no longer produces a strong, reliable spark.
  • Clean the integrated pipe tool after use, removing ash and tobacco residue before returning it to the lighter.
  • Refill with high-quality refined butane to help maintain consistent burner performance.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes that could damage the lighter’s exterior finish.
Safety & Handling
  • Refill only with suitable butane gas, away from flames, sparks and other ignition sources.
  • Allow residual gas to disperse after refilling before attempting ignition.
  • Keep away from children, direct sunlight and excessive heat.
  • Avoid touching the burner immediately after use, as surrounding components can become hot.
  • Never ignite the lighter if it appears damaged or is leaking gas.
  • Handle the integrated pipe tool carefully and return it to its stored position after use.
