In responding to the postings about pipe lighters, perhaps it is fair to 
ask: "How can you beat a Zippo?"  As to pipes, I recently got a Peterson 
Killarney Full Bent; it is heaven.  It features a really thick stem, shank, 
and bowl.
Best wishes to all,
Brad Krones

[ In answer to your question, it's difficult, but a 20-ounce (0.6 kg)
Vaughan wood-handled framing hammer can be used effectively to beat a
Zippo.  (Well, ya asked...)  See the following. -S. ]
