ST Dupont Lighter
I always admired the actors in old films in their dinner suits and their “dress lighters” (not sure that terms exists yet). A dress lighter in my book is a lighter you wouldn’t use everyday, just like a dress watch reserved for special occasions. Not being a fan of gold, I opted instead for a S.T. Dupont Black Chinese Lacquer lighter. Not as effective as some of the blow torches on the market, but a lot more elegant, and with the unmistakable ping that Dupont lighters are famous for. It draws subtle admiring glances and only comes out for black tie. I am playing with the idea of getting the red one as it is in our house colour for everyday use.
