The S.T. Dupont Slimmy is a premium single-jet torch flame lighter from the French luxury brand’s Premium Jet collection, positioned halfway between the ultra-thin Slim 7 and the iconic Ligne 2 in design and proportions. Launched in late 2023 alongside the Biggy and Twiggy, it responds to customer demand for a torch-flame version of the classic Ligne 2 aesthetic—sleek rectangular body with modern side-squeeze ignition—but without the traditional flip-top or “ping” sound. It’s marketed as a “less is more” everyday luxury for cigar and cigarette users, emphasizing portability, wind resistance, and precise lighting.
