{"product_id":"s-t-dupont-windproof-lighter-chrome","title":"S.T. Dupont Windproof Lighter — Chrome","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe S.T. Dupont Windproof in chrome\u003c\/strong\u003e is a soft-flame lighter built to do the one thing a soft flame usually cannot: stay lit in moving air. The maison's phrase is \"a flame resistant to drafts\". The body is zamac, brushed chrome, with black bumpers at each corner cut in the diamond head guilloché and a graduated fuel window down one side. It is the lighter for counsel who prefer the manners of a soft flame and smoke on a porch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is not a torch. The flame is yellow and it toasts a cigar the traditional way; it simply declines to go out on a terrace. The maison does not publish how — the burner sits recessed behind three vents in the photographs, and the maison's own line is that the lighter is \"designed to adapt efficiently and easily to all winds\". That is the maker's claim; we pass it on with its quotation marks, having not yet tested it in a gale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 2.6 by 1.8 inches and 2.6 ounces it is a pocket lighter, sized for a cigar or a cigarette. It takes the maison's black butane refill and ships empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e S.T.

A soft flame toasts a cigar slowly and evenly; on a very wide foot it takes patience, as any soft flame does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat fuel does it take?\u003c\/strong\u003e Any triple-refined butane will light it; the maison specifies its own black refill (ref. 000430) for the torch models. It ships empty, as every lighter we sell does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the window for?\u003c\/strong\u003e Fuel level.

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.
