Joeyjojo Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Who needs an ST Dupont that costs the same a a second hand car?! Also, a lot less weeping and gnashing of teeth if you lose one of those down the back of the sofa!

I went to car event this weekend that had a cigar roller from a big tobacco store in CT. They said the same thing. I've given up on the Dupont. Been thinking of selling it. Wooden matches are what I use as a primary now. 2

For ten bucks a vertigo lighter is like a sore jonson. You can't beat it. I purchased a three pack of these like 8 years ago. Two are still running. The 3third one got lost. My favorite lighter. I purchased a Xigar lighter and it stopped working within a year. I am sticking with these. 2

I don't really know much about recent production ST Dupont lighters, but I own a gorgeous piece, one from somewhere between the late 90s-early 2000s and it's always been very reliable. Looks like they never fully recovered after sending some of their production to China, anyway I wouldn't purchase one at today's prices. 1

I've serviced it at least 3-4 times over the decades. Has the dual flame. Bic works better. May lack elegance. Or without pretense in polite speak. 1

I've had one of the first Maxijets too but it stopped working a long time ago after I had it serviced at least twice, I just gave up on this one... 1
