If you travel to Paris you can get them at a Rue d l'Hotel Colbert and Quai d Montebello, close to Notre Dame and St Michelle, thats where i bought mine and got a good discount and no Vat bc I was to export. I went Prestige collection Gatsby (about $15000, its solid gold) you could start with Ligne1 for the classic lighter ($600) or Maxi Lighter for a modern look/flame ($500).Ĭheck the line out at Lighters Direct dot Com You Do have to buy OE Dupont gas tubes, not a big deal and not expensive at all. It turned ok since my friend smokes cigars and it had a strong flame.
I have given a Maxi Jet Lighter as a gift and must say that the packaging was a bit embarrassing (plastic and cardboard box, very chep looking).
I must say that the new wave of cigar smokers prefer the jet line bc it burns way stronger than the original line which lites like a match would. Most want to look at it, feel the weight (heavy for its size) and just plain beautiful.
I have a St Dupont Chinese Gold/Lacquer (from the Prestige/Gatsby line)and people seem to be very impressed with it when I light a cigarette for them. I do bc I travel to Paris and Mexico (lots of smokers).
