S.T. Dupont Cigar Cutter Stand — Monogram 1872, Burgundy

S.T. Dupont Cigar Cutter Stand — Monogram 1872, Burgundy

Burgundy occupies a specific register in the vocabulary of luxury objects: it is the color of ceremony, of occasion, of the things that are brought out because the moment warrants them. It is not a casual color. On the Monogram 1872 cigar cutter stand, burgundy lacquer carries S.T. Dupont's new founding logo against a ground that gives it weight — the Maison's identity mark in the color most naturally associated with the rituals the object serves.

Monogram 1872 / The Founding Logo

The Monogram 1872 motif is S.T. Dupont's new expression of its founding year — the Maison's logo redrawn with a posture the brand describes as upright, determined, and proud. On the cigar cutter stand, this logo appears in burgundy lacquer set against gold accents, the warm metal providing the contrast that makes the dark ground readable. The Monogram 1872 collection extends across lighters, cases, and accessories; the cutter stand brings the same motif to the cutting table, connecting every element of the ritual under a single visual identity.

The Stand / Function and Proportion

The stand cutter format — S.T. Dupont's cigar cutter stand — integrates two functions in a single object: the double-blade guillotine cutter and the rest that holds the cigar before and after the cut. The burgundy Monogram 1872 version maintains the Maison's standard proportions at 48.4 × 64.5 × 7.7mm and 110g, the weight substantial enough to register in the hand without requiring two. The double blade executes a clean guillotine cut without lateral pressure on the wrapper. The stand gives the cigar a surface to rest on while the instrument is still in hand.

Craftsmanship in Metal and Lacquer

S.T. Dupont describes the Monogram 1872 collection as a showcase for the Maison's expertise in metalwork and the art of lacquer — two craft disciplines that the house has been refining since its founding in 1872. On the cutter stand, this expertise manifests in the quality of the finish: the burgundy lacquer applied over the metal body, the gold accents defining the object's hardware. Personalization available up to three characters.
