  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Simple question, I'm getting an S.T. Dupont Maxijet (formerly named the X-tend) and just wonder what color you guys think looks best.

Red:

"Midnight" Blue

Black Gloss

Black Matte

I'm personally leaning towards Black Matte, but having never seen them in person, figured I'd ask you guys.

(And please don't post a "Get a Ronson" response. I intend to get the Dupont, it's purely a question of color)

Thanks!
Jeremy

Went and looked at them all and the matte black would be my first pick then the matte grey. I know it is not listed on you poll, but that is what I would go for.

yeah... if you throw matte grey into the mix, I'd say

1. matte grey
2. midnight blue
3. matte black

I liked the midnight blue, so I went and ordered it from Atlantic. Point being, love the colour blue and since my buddies and I meet quite often at a restaurant that lets us relax on their terrace long after they are closed, with the lights out and only moonlight, blue would be easier to spot than black. Hell I forgot and left a wine cooler bag there one night because I didn't spot it (of cos was also pretty intoxicated after lots of drams of single malts and relaxed after quite a few cigars, as well) and wouldn't want to forget/leave my Dupont too.

And before you judge, I also have a glossy black Xikar to match (trip torch Ellipse 2). Both are awesome, but the Dupont is the MOST fuel efficient lighter I've ever used, x3.
