Could this be the hottest lighter on the market?

We deconstruct S.T.Dupont's Ligne 2 Fire Head to discover the secrets behind its style...

For more than 144 years, S.T.Dupont has crafted beautiful objects that have been coveted by the European elite – not to mention three limited-edition collections for 007 himself. But its most iconic product is, without doubt, the Ligne 2 Fire Head lighter.

Although there are many lighters on the market, an S.T.Dupont iteration is inimitable. The Ligne 2 is elegant and stylish, with a palladium finish and a bezelled geometric motif.

However, it’s not just the beautiful styling that makes an S.T.Dupont lighter instantly recognisable. You’ll always know when one is nearby from the iconic sound it makes when you flick it open. Designers think about how the crystal-clear chime of the lighter’s cap opening sounds before anything else, as it is the most important part of the S.T.Dupont experience.

To make sure none of your cigar-toking pals walk away with your most gentlemanly of accoutrements, you can have the Fire Head engraved with up to three initials. All of the personalised engraving and embossing is done by S.T.Dupont’s master craftsmen and will take just two weeks.
