forget the lighter, I love your avatar. HEHE:waving: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.
Nope, mine is starting to fade a little but it still looks cool. I have the currency version. I have yet to see someone else with it. :guitar:For those that have the Maxi or Mini Jet, how has the paint held up? Has it got all scratched from use?
Pics please!!!:clap:Window Pane Gatsby here...loved the lighter after I bought the fill adaptor, but it needs to go... got a silver 101 lighter from Boothy, and ill never use anything else, its beautiful.

But you only smoke 1/3 of the stick I heard so I'm guessing its on par for the course....lmaoMe too. I use my Duponts all the time and rarely (except when outside) use a torch.
Some people can't believe you would buy a $100 xikar when a $3.00 torch from hong kong will do just as nice a job. It's all a matter of scale man, if you can afford it and want one, why not?I just saw for the first time 2 Dupont lighters at my local b&m and I can't believe that someone would actually pay $900.00 & $1,100.00 for a lighter when a $100.00 xikar will just as nice of a job. God bless the guy the guy that buys that they better have it insured just in case they loose it.
Same goes for Sunglasses, watches, wallets, clothing, and any other material object. My dollar store sunglasses kick butt when wake-boarding, but they don't have all the fancy features of the RB's or Oakleys. If you have the money, self indulgence of the more scarce and valued goods of society gives you satisfaction and attention one desires.Some people can't believe you would buy a $100 xikar when a $3.00 torch from hong kong will do just as nice a job.

Dirty little secret of mine: The X-tend fits perfectly in the Xikar case for their Executive lighter. :smile:I have an Xtend and its a great lighter. It just looks kinda beat up now from carrying in my pocket or back on certain occasions. I wish it came with some kind of case or pouch. Or maybe a more ruggedized finish.
