About This Product

The Xikar Resource II is a purpose-built pipe lighter combining a soft flame with practical tools for preparing and maintaining a pipe during a smoke. Its angled flame is directed naturally towards the tobacco chamber, allowing controlled lighting without having to awkwardly position a conventional upright lighter over the bowl.

Piezoelectric ignition provides simple push-button operation, while an oversized flame-adjustment wheel makes it easy to regulate the flame. The lighter also incorporates a fold-out pipe tamper and scraper, keeping two useful pipe tools conveniently built into the body.

Refillable with butane and designed for regular use, the Resource II offers a modern, feature-rich alternative to traditional flint-operated pipe lighters.

How to Use
  1. Refill the lighter: Hold the Resource II 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 tobacco, leaving sufficient airflow through the bowl.
  3. Set the flame: Use the oversized adjustment wheel to select a moderate flame height.
  4. Ignite: Operate the piezoelectric ignition to produce the angled soft flame.
  5. Light the tobacco: Hold the lighter beside the bowl and direct the flame across the tobacco while drawing gently through the pipe.
  6. Tamp when required: Fold out the integrated tamper to settle raised tobacco and maintain an even burn.
  7. Use the scraper: Once the pipe has cooled, the integrated scraper can assist with removing loose residue from the bowl.
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 burner periodically and keep its opening unobstructed for a consistent flame.
  • Clean the integrated tamper and scraper after use, removing ash and tobacco residue before folding them away.
  • Check the flame adjustment periodically and keep it at a moderate setting for everyday pipe lighting.
  • Refill with high-quality refined butane to help maintain reliable burner performance.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents and metal polishes that could damage the 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 may remain hot.
  • Never ignite the lighter if it appears damaged or is leaking gas.
  • Handle the integrated scraper carefully and fold the tools completely away before carrying or storing the lighter.
