Fascinating! I recollect seeing, as a kid, a lit rope hanging in cigarette kiosks/shops in India to use as a lighter for their customers. This used to be a jute rope and, though lit with a match unlike in this video, would keep burning slowly through the day. Saved matches and was always lit. Have not seen it in recent years.
