On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Padrón house, S.T. Dupont announces a special collaboration. The S.T. Dupont x Padrón collection offers distinctive lighters and cigar accessories.

Ligne 2 Cling lighter with matte brown lacquer and gold finishes. Engraving of the island of Cuba and the initials ‘JOP’ of the founder of the Cuban brand. Features a dual yellow flame and the famous ‘Cling’ sound upon opening.

The S.T. Dupont Ligne 2 series is an iconic collection of luxury lighters, renowned for their elegant rectangular design, premium craftsmanship, and the signature “ping” sound—a crystal-clear “cling” produced when the lid is flicked open. This sound, accidentally discovered in 1976, has become a hallmark of the brand and is instantly recognizable among enthusiasts. Originally evolving from the Ligne 1 collection introduced in the 1960s, the Ligne 2 was developed in collaboration with French jeweler Jean Dinh Van, blending refined aesthetics with high-performance functionality.

These lighters are handmade in France using noble materials like solid brass, Chinese lacquer, palladium, silver, gold plating (yellow, rose, or white), and specialized finishes such as guilloché engraving, microdiamond heads, or vertical lines. They are designed for both cigarette and cigar use, with a compact size that fits easily into pockets without damage. Each model undergoes rigorous quality checks, and personalized or limited-edition variants are available.
