How many of you have a S.T. Dupont lighter

[cigarlvr]

And what one did you get? I am thinking of pulling the trigger on one and just not sure wht one to get. I would really like the torch but spending a grand on it is tough when I hear it is a Xtend lighter with a fancy case.

 

[Danilo]

There are st dupont torches for like 150 bux... The Xtend is that much more or less.
I would never ever pay a grand for a lighter.

 

[benday]

i have the mother of pearl cigar flame lighter...don't use it.

 

[mhlatke]

The way I lose lighters, I could never justify the $$.

From what I've heard, the xtends/maxijets are great lighters. Xtends/maxijets and minijets are the only torch lighters they are making right now.

At some point, I'd like to have a black laquer and paladium lighter.

I've got the S.T. Dupont Gold Plated Line 2 Collection Brushed Design that I got for under $400 and while it's a nice lighter it's not worth the price...no lighter is but I just had to have it. Once I got the LGC Lighter from Atlantic that was like the ST Dupont for $24 there wasn't much of a difference in operation and quality. I use the LGC lighter everyday and I could kick myself for being an idiot and wish I had the money back to buy a box of Cohiba Espys. Live and learn.

Amen!

I do have an old, leather encased Dupont that was given to me as a gift. I need to get it serviced and/or cleaned, but I am currently not using it.

 

[benday]

i'm extremely thankful that this dupont was gifted to me but it seriously is one of the worst working lighters i've ever had...the slightest of winds extinguishes the flame and the proprietary fuel cartridges are a joke...i use a $50 porsche designs lighter and love it.

 

[Jfire]

Have a ligne 2 and love it. They're not made for wind. They have a place imo

Cans of fuel that have the little ring of adapters on it generally have one that you can use to fill a Dupont. Either that or the little brass adapters cost like $10.

yeah I got one of those brass adapters but when I leave town it's one more thing to get lost that I have to bring along.

I have an Xtend. I was lucky enough to win it. It is a really great little lighter and I love it, but I fail to see what about it is worth $140 other than perhaps the name on it.

 

[JP8]

I use a POS $5 cheapie that works just fine (even in the wind). Save your money and buy cigars.

I have the x-tend lighter. It isn't bad but now I use a Ronson. It's easier to deal with. No...I wouldn't spend 1k on a lighter.

 

[vperlman]

I have an X-tend that I got on sale from Mike's for about $100. It is probably the best lighter I own. Lights the first time, every time, uses standard butane without an adapter, has great capacity despite the slim profile, and looks good. :applause:

I have the three Opus X Duponts pictured below and love them! (this is not my picture, just one I found on the net):

I have a windowpane ST Dupont Gatsby in silver...

I love the lighter, but only take it out on special occasions. I also took the risk and bought an adapter from ebay and have been filling it with VECTOR fuel for the last year and half. Works great, no problems at all.

 

[Grego]

I have a Prometheus that I love, the Duponts are great but I would lose the damn thing knowing me,

I really like the soft flame though

Ditto. Every previous lighter I owned broke that I would not recommend any other lighter than the X-tend.
