S.T. Dupont 250th Anniversary Haute Création Line 2 Lighter — Patina (Statue of Liberty)
Haute Création is S.T. Dupont's highest expression of the lighter-maker's art — the tier reserved for works that require skills beyond the standard production process, where the object becomes as much a piece of artisanal sculpture as a functioning instrument. For America's 250th anniversary, S.T. Dupont has produced a USA-exclusive Haute Création collection in two distinct artistic programs. The patina set renders the symbols of American liberty in sculpted relief with a verdigris bronze finish — the color of aged copper, of the Statue of Liberty herself, of monuments that have earned their patina through time.
Statue of Liberty / American Flag
The Line 2 lighter's two faces each carry a distinct image in high relief. The front presents the Statue of Liberty — the torch-bearing figure that has presided over New York Harbor since 1886, the gift from France to America and, in this moment, an appropriate subject for a French house marking the American anniversary with craft brought from Paris. The reverse presents the field of stars from the American flag, the relief work giving the surface texture and depth. The verdigris patina finish unifies both faces in a color that references the oxidized copper of the original monument — green as a function of time, applied here as a deliberate artistic choice.
Haute Création / Line 2
The Line 2 is S.T. Dupont's landmark cigar lighter — the format that defined the brand's place in the luxury lighter category, with its signature "ping" sound on opening, double jet torch flame for a clean, even light across the foot of a cigar, and the solid brass body that provides the weight and balance that distinguishes a serious lighter from a utility tool. In Haute Création, those fundamentals are elevated: the body becomes the canvas, the artistry the reason the object exists beyond function. This piece is a USA exclusive, available on order. Summer 2026 launch.
Now available at The Tobacconist of Greenwich.
