STDupont Andalusia

You guys are just seeing this as a "lighter". It's much more than that. It's an object of art. Something that has inherent value and once you light a cigar with a Dupont, then tell me it's just a lighter.

Why use a fancy ashtray when a cut PBR can or Quahog shell does the same thing? The ashtray inhances the whole exprierence, just like the lighter.

It's not about what is the most value for your money. Sure $800 buys a lot of cigars, but you have cigars, who cares? Buy those too. It's not "buy this or that". Maybe for him he can buy both? That being said, even very wealthy people do not want to spend more than they have to whether it's a gallon milk or an ST Dupont.

ST Dupont is one of the most highest luxury brands there is. True class that needs no introduction and just holding and using the lighter it is immediate that this is something special. Even if you hate cigars and never heard of ST Dupont, you will be impressed.

There are only few brands of lighters like this; Dunhill, Davidoff, & Caran D'Ache. ST Duponts makes the Davidoff's. All are equal in luxury & quality, but whether you like British, French or Swiss nameplates.

My favorite cigar lighter is the Dunhill trench torch lighter; oh my is that lighter something else! So is the price tag!

well said


Adding to that is that 800.00 for a Limited Edition ST Dupont is a steal. You should see what many of the Dupont Habanero Collection is going for.

We raffeled off one of these La Casa del Habanos Duponts at SoCal 2 years ago (someone of this board actually won it with 1 ticket bought!).
Limited to 500 pieces. You would hate to know what these are going for now.

I was sitting next to James when he won that. Wow, that is one nice lighter. From holding it I now know why people pay the extra money for one of these (ST Dupont).

For me, I am not coordinated enough to use the lighting mechanism.

Even though I use my Blazer the most, my Dupont X-Tend is definitely the best lighter I own. The only one I can trust to light outside in the wind.

Another thing to consider when it comes to something like this. Several of us here own Aristocrat humidors, if it was all about space, I am pretty sure most of us could have spent less than 10% of the price on coolers that hold the same number of cigars.

If I had to do it over again, I would order the same exact Aristocrat without hesitation.

Do you accept layaway? Rent to own?
