Not very portable! ;)
Sweet! Thank you for showing choices.
Thank you! More to come :)
A good video for proper cigar lighters! New Subscriber.
I *l o v e* my newest DuPont soft flame. If one finds themselves at a quiet classy function or location where you prefer to be more discreet, you can always open the DuPont lighter with two hands or slow roll open to mute the opening sound which is so beautiful it's music to my ears every time I hear it open! Those lighters (1 single soft & 1 dual soft flame Ive purchased over the last 5 years) never fail me!
Thank you for subscribing! And yes, definitely music to the ears! We have a number of beautiful Duponts in stock if you ever want to add to your collection!
Fantastic channel you all have here. Great content. Cheers from Dallas.
Thank you so much! More to come :)

I've started my cigar journey with zippos. I always use lighter fluid by zippo and I haven't even once tasted the fluid. I even offered it to my cigar smoking friends and they only tasted the cigar so idc what other cigar smokers say I am using my zippo to light cigars.
Thanks for watching, Ashton! Whatever works for you is all that matters!
I enjoy Xikar lighters. Today I bought a Rocky Patel double jet flame lighter. I have one soft flame lighter by Xikar three single jet flame lighters and one double jet lighter by Xikar. I also have other lighters on a less expensive options in my collection. As far as cutters are concerned Xikar is my go to choice
Wowww 😊😊😊😊
Thank you for watching! :)
S. T. Dupont lighters may be made in France (I believe some other lighter models of theirs are made elsewhere, including in China), but the company is Chinese-owned.
❤
It my pleasure to meet you, and talk to you.
Abdulla, the pleasure was mine! Thank you so much for visiting us :)
I use an old Ronson Jetlite.
the dupont is just perfect, they made a torch one lso
They’ve also made a new lighter that has both a soft flame and a torch in one! We have a few coming in - follow us on Instagram or sign up for our newsletter, the Caucus Brief to learn more and get notified :) eepurl.com/hP28ST
I dont always use butane, but when i do i choose my lighter by the sound the lid makes!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Nice ;) Thank you for watching!
Hi just a question informal where is the little black table from so nice
Home Goods :)
I bought my first cigar at this store in Georgetown, on my 18th birthday in 1987
Thank you, Ethan, and thank you for watching!
that dupont looks big in your hands
Thank you for watching! My hands are small, but I love using that lighter every day :) - Teresa
Just put my order in for a Brizard Venezia and an Eternal since I couldn't choose between jet flame or torch! ;)
Both are fabulous choices!!
what is the diff between jet or torch?, i thought they were the same
@@ARCSTREAMS They're the same i believe.
Original Commenter/Poster (OP) likely meant to say he couldn't choose between a soft Flame or a jet flame (torch)
@@georgetowntobacco I'd very much like to know where the quality and sharpness of Brizard Fine Cigar Cutters rank & if his (Brizard) Lighters are top notch?! Brizard sure do have some *stunning*l exotic woods and leathers...* Many different options of fine cigar "tools" they sell, I'm just wondering how long they've been around and if Brizard products work as well as they look?
im not sure what he meant but yeah to me i think they are both the same kind of flame although there are two types of these strong flames i have seen one that has the brass nozzle that makes the torch flame and another that has a recessed nozzle that produces more of a diamond shaped flame i call jet flame , i have both types of lighters @@BuffaloNickel9
Will the brass made one’s clear through TSA?
Great question! It’s a soft-flame lighter, but it’s just not worth the risk. TSA guidelines currently say you can take disposable soft-flame lighters and Zippo lighters without fuel.
If my choice in lighters is an extension of my personality, then my $10 lighter says way too much 😅
😂 more $ for cigars! ;)
I saw a S.T. Dupont lighter with a white flame. Does anyone know which lighter that would be?
We’ve only carried those with blue and yellow flames, but will check with our Dupont contacts and circle back if we learn more!
What st DuPont was that I want to know if the le grand cling has that similar ping noise
The Dupont in the video is the Paul Garmirian Soirée- only 300 made. The new version of the Le Grand will cling. They are shipping soon and we’ll post on Instagram once we have them in stock and our website!
@@georgetowntobacco great I heard the new version about 1 in 3 will cling and also have seen the screw on the baseplate covering the s in the word “Paris” on Reddit wish the bottom was one piece and not screwed or taped down and the numbers were still hand stamped quality is going down but all that being said I still have a silver palladium le grand cling that’ll be here Tuesday hopefully I don’t have to return it
Any versatile or hybrid lighters that can be used both indoors and outdoors? Soft and torch flame
Hi @mannyman729! S.T. Dupont makes a beautiful one that has both the dual soft flame and a torch- it’s call the Le Grand Cling: gttobacco.com/product/st-dupont-lighter-le-grand-cling-diamond-head-palladium/
It also may make more sense to have a good torch for when you’re out and about and a good soft flame for when you know you’ll be indoors!
Well, it may make the most sense to have one good torch and one good soft flame..: but S.T. Dupont makes a beautiful hybrid called Le Grand Cling: gttobacco.com/product/st-dupont-lighter-le-grand-cling-diamond-head-palladium/
What about BiC? It's an extremely budget butane option! 😉
So true… and somehow there’s always one around when you need it! 😂
Best place to buy a torch lighter?
Hi Eddie- we might be a little biased but we have a vast selection to choose from at Georgetown Tobacco! :) www.gttobacco.com
Can these lighters be used for both cigars and cigarettes
Yes, absolutely! Thank you for watching!
You said butane lighter is more desirable for cigars but then the first and the last lighters seem like they've got fluid rather than butane.
Or are they butane lighters and am I just tripping?
Butane can have yellow or blue flames.
Hi! They are all butane lighters- they can have either a torch flame, soft flame or both! Thanks for watching! :)
Butane doesn't change the taste as much. I'm still waiting for somebody to make a map gas lighter
Why choose, most cigar smokers have multiple lighters. I have dozens, but my most favorite are:
Soft flame: Colibri Julius + xikar Meridian
Torch: Colibri Daytona + Rebel
Great point and great choices!!
Why do most cigar smokers have multiple lighters?
@@sowhat... Why not ? You also have 1 pants, 1 pair of shoes, etc, ?
Some are gifts, some I got for free from the cigar shop and some I bought myself.
I also got some free cigar matches from a shop, but when you buy cigars you will easily pay hundreds of dollars for a single sale.
I just don’t want a lighter that I’m gonna pay a fortune for and it gets air pockets and clog and you have to clean the jets and everything else and still pay $100 for a new one. maybe you have a suggestion? Please Help 🙏
There are lots of great options! Give us a call tomorrow (11-7pm EST) and happy to talk through what would work best for you :) (202-338-5100) Thanks! Teresa
lighters don’t clog except for years of heavy use. Torches do. Cleaning is so easy but I have so many parts I just swap them out. Its quick but it takes forever to learn everything lighters. The jets are just a screen and a see through alloy.metal disk. Anything that burns leaves carbon.
Too fancy
Too fancy and expensive I’ll use my zippo thank you very much
Please consider turning off all the lights, I can still see the lighters!
Thank you for watching! Lighting is so tricky in the store, but we do our best!
Untrue Zippo statement...
I doubt theres a single human being on earth who tastes if it was lit with a Zippo. Just dont store both together.
You definitely get the lighter fluid fumes. Pretty gross.
@@TheCarpenterUnion I doubt that and I will test it. If you move a gas flame too close to meat for example, the meat tastes disgusting, if you keep it a couple of centimeters away its fine - same here, if you put the cigar directly above the wick you might get some fumes into the cigar, but if its above I bet you wont.
Using Zippo daily gets also quite messy with the fluid leaking, and evaporating. In the end, a simple BIC lighter is the most reliable choice.
The lighter fluid is an acquired taste 😂
@@BoonieChris Zippos are great and if you like to carry one then you do you. You can absolutely use a zippo without affecting the taste if you do it correctly. The point is that if you choose a butane lighter, that potential problem goes away entirely. It's a recommendation, not a law. You can also put a butane lighter in your humidor or cigar travel pouch, which I absolutely wouldn't do with a zippo.
I want a lighter not jewelry.
Lots of great options available!
St DuPont made in china
All of S.T.Dupont’s soft flame lighters, as featured here, are made in France. All manufacturer’s torch lighters we carry are made in Asia.
Please link from last lighter?
Please give us a call: 202-338-5100 - It’s the P.G. Soirée from S.T. Dupont.
wow favorite lighter is most expensive. wow ST. duscam
It’s a personal choice- but I know I’ll have that Dupont for the rest of my life- and people will be using it long after I’m gone. Not too many things being made today you can say that about. So no scam here, but if it’s not for you, there are so many great options!
any alternative to butane as i live in california. any politician suck here so butane is completly banned?
