That’s a fantastic find! It’s amazing what you can find at garage sales for really cheap. I found a Ronson Touch-Tip table lighter at a garage sale for $5 a few years back. It’s an art deco style lighter. Really neat looking. Made in Newark, NJ and from the research I’ve done, it seems that it was manufactured in the early to mid 1940’s.
I have also been lucky in my life to have been able to spot rare things at yard sales and have got some unbelievable things you would not believe and if it was not for need of money I would have kept a few things I so regret selling. I have never found a beautiful lighter but being a collector of tobacco baseball cards and all things that are vintage cigar or tobacco I have found an Origional 1913 joe Jackson card in a beautiful antique humidor table with 2 ashtrays that hang from the side that’s lined with cooler and still shines bright. When I flipped it over to check the makers mark I was very surprised to find it was made in Springfield Vermont because I’m a vermonter and is around 100 years old give it take a few years. It was this humidor I also found a 14k white gold Esemco pocket knife which I did keep and will pass down. Believe it or not in the same humidor which I also still have and use daily I found in the bottom under all the stuff packed in it a 1969 gmt faded Pepsi besil rolex ! I didn’t know much about watches but knew what a rolex was but didn’t know just how valuable they were. It was only after talking to my good friend threw texting messages that I mentioned I found a rolex which he chuckled and said “yeah you didn’t find a rolex man,sorry” Then I looked into it and checked the numbers in In the side of the watch and realized I truly found one and sent him the pics and he’s was blown away. I sadly sold it for $10,000 on eBay. Before you say it was to low a price know that it was missing the 18k white gold band which at the time I could only find one band on eBay and it was min $5000 before recent gold prices went up to all time highs. I had my nephew Austin sell it for me so he could make some cash and gave him 10% of what he sold it for to go towards collage spending money which I do not regret. The watch was a gmt faded Pepsi t/25 Swiss but it did not have the line under the word Swiss which was an even more rare watch and it was near flawless in condition. I got the humidor at a seasonal flea market in Waterbury Vermont just outside Stowe Vermont. I paid $42 for the humidor and all inside it. Best find ever!
I have a 80s ligne 2 in great shape, bought for 55 bucks, repaired by myself because it was leaking. The best lighter in my small collection for sure !
My dad used to smoke cigars so he got one of these as a business gift many years ago but he stopped 3 years ago and gave it to me, i still prefer my trusty zippo but ill carry it every once and awhile when im feelin fancy
S.T. DuPont lighters are expensive, but worth every penny. Things that are of great quality cost a lot of money. As well as it should be. This is why I love Kirby’s channel. Really enjoyed this video. Keep the phenomenal content coming.
I'm a big fan of S.T. Dupont. They make incredibly good lighters and at least in the past they also offered great cufflinks. Over the years I accumulated quite a few of their lighters and cufflinks but the first one is always special. I bought my first STD lighter when I was on my relocation trip to Shanghai back in 2008 and a few months later picked up my first STD cufflinks in Shanghai. They are still the most used from my collections. But that doesn't prevent me from thinking about the platinum coated Ligne D which I discovered today.
The Blue Flame model is really nice, it is a soft blue flame and does not cook your cigar like a typical jet. It burns at a much lower temperature and is usable outside where the soft flame is not usable. I highly recommend that model since I have one and do enjoy it.
Had one of the 'Ligne 2' lighters. Very well made and nice to use. My main gripes with it were that it was terrible in wind and the filler was non-standard - the adapter for using ordinary (non Dupont) butane leaked like a sieve.
I own a Le Grande. It is anything but a good choice for outdoor use. The jet flame is very sensitive to moving air and will be blown out by even a gentle breeze.
I have a a few vintage ligne 2s. Love them. I’ve been collecting before I even started smoking. Dunhill lighters are also great and can be found for under 350
Most vintage lighters are sold untested and need servicing before they can be used. So the average condition untested rollagas goes for around $115 but mint condition, serviced and working, and rare editions go for $250 and even way more up! I buy and sell vintage lighters. I love fixing them back up to normal.
got a rollagas from the 80s in great shape for 50€ (pretty lucky). I fixed a leaking problem and it's flawless ! My most reliable lighter for sure, love it
Great video Kirby. The lighters are gorgeous! I would like to see a video on shavers in the future 😊. Great bit about the different butane fill tanks. I had no idea there were different styles. I thought they were all the same lol
I believe that the first edition of the le grande did not have the cling noise which is why they came out with the le grande cling. I am looking at getting one of those next. This year I got my first St dupont. It was a line 2 in black laquer and palladium. I got a matching stand/cutter and a line d fountain pen. That pen is up there with my montblancs but was only about $400.
I am lucky to have a st dupont line 2 stardust from the 70s in slightly rose gold. the difference with this new st dupont stardust is that ALL faces and sides are coated with lacquer and gold dust, except for the underside of course. I find it a pity that it no longer offers any model with lacquer on the 2 sides, sides, and above. But they still a piece of art, love them ❤
Never heard of ST Dupont despite me smoking various things for many years when I was younger and having an extensive lighter collection. Zippo was the most known lighter to me and was the most expensive high end ones as well. Don't know how these escaped me for so long. I'm guessing it's because they're from outside the US and aren't reqlly prevalent here and also I'm guessing they're more cigar focused and I never smoked those.
HI Mr Allison - I've got a quick question, I recently bought a 150th LE ST Dupont lighter - the Ligne 2 Golden Hour, the one plated in 3-gold metals and featuring a double-yellow flame. The instructions manual says not to keep it "lit" for more than 10 seconds, however, this is not practical at all when lighting a cigar. Even in your recent video with Eddie Sahakian he can be seen keeping the lighter lit for well over 40-50 seconds. Appreciate your response, thank you good Sir! Kind Regards, M. de Silva.
I have some of this duponts but nothing special about them and they are incredibly expensive and if you use them all the time they do break down and it’s a struggle to get them fixed
Break down? The only thing that needs replacing are the o-ring/gaskets and the filter. The only thing that will prematurely will do that is if you use cheap butane and it clogs the filter. Typically they will last 10-15 years after serving. I service them as a hobby and for extra money. Its the knowledge and experience that is the problem. You must practically teach yourself.
The oldest S.T. Dupont in my small collection is a Ligne 2 from 2008. I use it regularly and it still keeps working as on its first day. All the other ones I bought since then also work quite well. There was only one S.T. Dupont lighter which needed to get its seals replaced and that was a Ligne D I purchased for my then girlfriend. Fortunately I noticed that before the purchase, the dealer got it serviced and when it came back hegave me a nice discount on it. Can't say anything against a freshly serviced gold plated Ligne D for 300 Euros. But none of all these lighters broke during normal usage. These things are solid as a rock.
I got a new phone number a couple years back and now I get calls from time-to-time from old timers asking if I can fix their Dupont lighter. Apparently my number was some kind of Dupont repair service or something lol.
Does anyone have an opinion of the le Grande cling? I want to get one but I am afraid that the torch lighter components will not last as long as a simple soft flame. That is why my first purchase was a line 2. But since I rarely get to smoke indoors, it would be great to have a Dupont with a torch.
Sadly, my Ligne 2 which was brand new last year came with a gas leak that I’ve only recently noticed. Plus it never made the right “ping!” noise. DuPont are going to repair it, but it’s going to take 8-12 weeks, starting from June. Well worth it though. Beautiful lighter. Edit: they fixed the gas leak, but the ping is still dull 😕
This is extremely common and you have to assume it will leak and need serving to be used. Thats why they are sold as is untested. Because just like anything else, it needs to be serviced every so many years. They practically all leak from one or more places. But if you know what you are doing, it is very easy to replace the o-rings.
Kirby, care to say a word about cigar smoke leaving a scent on suits? Is this to be expected and tolerated or is there something one can do about this without taking the suit to the cleaners too often?
Good woolen fabrics will only need to be hung in some fresh air for a couple of days. Linen and cotton can be worse but should still be fine if you hang them in your bathroom after showers. Plastic fibers will stink forever.
The ST DuPont Le Grand Cling palladium blue lighter is such a beautiful piece!! I would love to purchase one but I hear they scratch so easily regardless if you keep in a case 😢
Hi . I have quite a few. If you want them to stay perfect you should keep them in their box . The one I use for day to day dates from the 1950s . But it is still a beautiful piece of engineering. Get one you will never be disappointed. Cordialement
If you want to use it it’s like a watch, jewelry, clothing, car, cooking utensil, house… anything gets used gets worn. Then comes the business of refurbishment and repair.
Sadly the Le Grand is a total piece of crap. Someone has opened it up and it's just cheap plastic inside. A shame. Also, the Ligne 2 he's holding in this video has been downgraded in terms of quality. You can see if you look at the bottom because in the higher-quality versions there are no seams. On the newer ones the bottom piece is a plate held on by tape! Very sad to see from Dupont.
I much prefer the clunking shut of my Dunhill Rollagas lighter. Likened to the shutting of an old school Mercedes car door! I think the DuPont sounds a tad tinny.
Do you not get the taste of fuel through the cigar if you are using soft flame lighters? Zippos are generally frowned upon for said reasons. Most folks use matches or butane lighters.
Save one of those Line 2 Cuba Motif lighters for me Kirby! I'm saving up and I have all loved ones on notice that I'll be taking donations for the holidays :) Don't sell out!!
I'd love a DuPont lighter or solid gold dunhill like my stepdad's. They are expensive, but not if you don't lose them, as if you have a zippo, the amount you pay in fuel could pay for a DuPont or Dunhill instead?
I have read that Maduro Ligne 2 Lighters are the only ones that have the double soft flame and the standard issue Ligne 2 lighters do not. There is so much conflicting information on this. Supposedly the La Grande has the double soft flame. I am trying to find a new model that does not have the double flame, personally I don't like them.
As much I’d love to have a luxury lighter and cutter 1) I can’t really afford it unless I saved for it 2) I LOOSE everything 😭 Does Kirby have any videos on genteel looking lighters that don’t cost and arm and leg. I do adore the look of these type of things
I always really enjoy the Content because he shows on his videos. Stuff for the wealthy that's interesting and cool, but $1300 for a cigar lighter over a $75 zippo ia just not really realistic in my opinion. I understand the sound may have some cache to it, or the quality of the flame might be somewhat better, but the reliability and the historical value of a zippo is right there in my mind and if you want something that's a higher flame like a torch for a cigar you can get those with butane easily. Having a $1300 lighter and possibly leaving it somewhere or losing it doesn't really make any sense to me but to each his own! Thanks for the fun videos.
My dad had one, and he passed it down to me even after 82 years it still works beautifully
This is why these ST Dupont lighters worth it, it pass from generation into generation, these are timeless
"Not inexpensive by any means" is an understatement.
When you make 100,000.00 a check it's not expensive. While everyone else it's a car payment.
That's putting it mildly.😂

Talking from a collector. These lights are 1000000% worth the money. Big fan and really enjoy the channel.

hello is there any way to convert regular ligne 2 into dual flame or pipe flame?
Not that I know of. But we have some vintage diagonal pipe flame DuPonts in the vintage section of the website.
Can you take bong rips with this thing or what?
Wow didn't know these are astronomially priced! I'd rather invest in a watch. But thanks for sharing, these lighters are beautiful.
1) They're not substitute goods. 2) A watch for $1500!? LOLOLOL
I wonder if they've figured out the G#/A pitch of the ping, like with the minute repeater watches.
Do you have any lighters for pipe smokers?
I enjoy the nice pens Defi and or the Line D ballpoint
I think there a screw pin inside the lighter when open. You can tune the'cling'.... not sure on the newer ones. Mine has it. Its an 80s Dupont....
The ST Duponts are absolutely gorgeous, but even if I hit the lottery, I could *never* justify spending that much money on a lighter.
The joy of being wealthy is not needing to 'justify' buying things.

If you want to use it it’s like a watch, jewelry, clothing, car, cooking utensil, house… anything gets used gets worn. Then comes the business of refurbishment and repair.

Also, the Ligne 2 he's holding in this video has been downgraded in terms of quality. You can see if you look at the bottom because in the higher-quality versions there are no seams. On the newer ones the bottom piece is a plate held on by tape! Very sad to see from Dupont.
Do a video on quality dab rigs.
I’ll gladly pay 10,000 for that cling alone 🤤
Does anyone with DuPont ligne 2 can tell me if it worth it?
I much prefer the clunking shut of my Dunhill Rollagas lighter. Likened to the shutting of an old school Mercedes car door! I think the DuPont sounds a tad tinny.
These models are also called De Chine.
Do you not get the taste of fuel through the cigar if you are using soft flame lighters? Zippos are generally frowned upon for said reasons. Most folks use matches or butane lighters.
Duponts use butane gas.

I have read that Maduro Ligne 2 Lighters are the only ones that have the double soft flame and the standard issue Ligne 2 lighters do not. There is so much conflicting information on this. Supposedly the La Grande has the double soft flame.
I am trying to find a new model that does not have the double flame, personally I don't like them.
Why these are reselling on 2nd market for 100$?
Lots and lots and lots of fakes, be careful
I felt like the guy kept getting his mouth watered cause he was craving a cigar 😂
i love this lighters but i am to poor for it ...... they look awesome
As much I’d love to have a luxury lighter and cutter 1) I can’t really afford it unless I saved for it 2) I LOOSE everything 😭
Does Kirby have any videos on genteel looking lighters that don’t cost and arm and leg. I do adore the look of these type of things
That Cling at 5:25 sounds like a smoke alarm with low batteries.
Sure can't beat a vintage Zippo.
HAHAHHAHHAHAHHA
I always really enjoy the Content because he shows on his videos. Stuff for the wealthy that's interesting and cool, but $1300 for a cigar lighter over a $75 zippo ia just not really realistic in my opinion. I understand the sound may have some cache to it, or the quality of the flame might be somewhat better, but the reliability and the historical value of a zippo is right there in my mind and if you want something that's a higher flame like a torch for a cigar you can get those with butane easily. Having a $1300 lighter and possibly leaving it somewhere or losing it doesn't really make any sense to me but to each his own! Thanks for the fun videos.
Hi, what do I save in ordering from yourself or direct to STP I’m in the Uk, thanks
You’re not taking the Havana cityscape one to Cuba?!
No safety on that mini blue flame?
Are they made with real gold?
I've been thinking about getting back in cigar smoking.
Are s.t dupont appropriate for Cigars?
