Dupont Ligne 2 is the maison's classic soft-flame lighter, a matte black lacquer body with palladium-finish trim and a hinged cap that sounds the \"Perfect Ping\" when it opens. On Ping editions the cap is plated rather than lacquered, because lacquer muffles the note. It is the discreet choice for counsel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e S.T.

S.T. Dupont plates the cap rather than lacquering it so the sound carries — it is the reason people buy this model over a quieter one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a soft flame enough for a cigar?\u003c\/strong\u003e Indoors, yes, and it is the traditional light. Outdoors, or on a broad ring gauge, a torch does the job faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an appropriate gift for a lawyer?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is the least ostentatious lighter S.T. Dupont makes in this register — black lacquer, one line of trim — which is why it travels well as a gift for a lawyer who would not want the gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I carry it day to day?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. It is a pocket lighter, and unlike a torch it is the one you can keep in a jacket for a law office lunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeciding between cutters, lighters, humidors, and ashtrays?

Dupont, the Paris maison that has made leather cases since 1872 and lighters since 1941, for its craftsmanship and fit within our world. Curated pieces carry their maker's own identity rather than ours; our house collection, designed and branded exclusively for Barrister \u0026amp; Bespoke, is marked separately throughout the shop.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy we carry it.\u003c\/em\u003e S.T. Dupont began where we did. Simon Tissot-Dupont opened a Paris workshop in 1872 making document cases, briefcases, and travel trunks for diplomats and businessmen — objects whose quality lived in hinges, locks, frames, and fittings. The lighter, four decades on, was the same discipline applied to a smaller object. The workshop has been at Faverges in the Haute-Savoie since 1924, took in its first master lacquerer in 1935, and holds the French state's Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant designation for living heritage craft. We sell leather cases for a living. So did they, first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty.\u003c\/strong\u003e This Product carries S.T.
