I’ve always been a fan of Zippo lighters and at one point considered starting a collection; I thought they were pretty cool. The S.T. Dupont Linge 8 lighters are just as cool but with a more modern and sophisticated look and feel compared to the Zippo’s. I guess one can say that a Zippo lighter is like a Cadillac while the Dupont lighter is a Rolls Royce.
The S.T. Dupont Linge 8 lighters feature light-weight materials and they are assembled, lacquered, and polished by hand. The lighters are refillable and the flame is adjustable. The lighters come with S.T. Dupont signature engraved on the sides and come in four colors; chrome, white, black and red. These luxury lighters are priced at around $400 each.
I agree on the looks part, there is no denying that a Dupont lighter is stylish. However, you will never find a more reliable lighter than a Zippo. Heck, they’re guarantee for life, no questions asked!
I agree but if we’re talking practicality then a 50 cent Bic lighter does the same job for a fraction of the cost.
