S.T. Dupont Ligne 2

Cling! Yes, you "hear" correctly. Anyone who opens a Dupont Ligne 2 knows immediately what we are implying. The inimitable sound that is created when opening the lid of this lighter has probably influenced generations of tobacco connoisseurs. The lighter was not originally designed to produce the characteristic "high A". In fact, it was initially intended to eliminate this effect.

But it turned out that this specific sound became an acoustic trademark of S.T.Dupont. So they kept this "feature". Dupont lighters were born out of necessity, so to speak. After the Second World War, when there were not enough of the raw materials that S.T. Dupont mainly used (namely leather for fine leather goods), the company had to switch to articles made of other materials at short notice. The decision was made to produce high-quality lighters. Initially, they were made of aluminium and petrol-powered.

Since 1952, S.T. Dupont lighters have been gas-powered and since then, at the latest, they have been a real consideration for serious cigar lovers. Probably no other lighter brand stands as much for quality, durability and aesthetics as S.T. Dupont.

Anyone who decides on a Ligne 2 knows that this is possibly an investment that their children will still be able to enjoy. The solid brass body with tank is almost indestructible, the mechanism robust and the construction easy to maintain. The fact that flintstone ignition with a friction wheel is still used today must be attributed to the ignition reliability of this process.

For lacquered surfaces, only Laque de Chine is used, which is obtained from the resin of the lacquer tree. This is applied and smoothed over and over again until the surface is flawless. Furthermore, high-quality metals are used for the coating, which are guilloched, chiselled and engraved.

S.T. Dupont Ligne 2 lighters are handmade in France in 500-600 steps. Anyone who has held these valuable lighters in their hands will quickly succumb to their charm.
