S.T. Dupont Table Lighters: A Buyer’s Guide for Collectors and Cigar Rooms
Architectural scale, two flame styles and unmistakable presence turn a practical lighter into part of the room itself.
The current S.T. Dupont Table Lighter suits a dedicated desk, lounge or cigar room better than a pocket. At 325 g and 115 × 65 × 24 mm, it feels substantial without becoming an oversized ornament. Its selectable yellow and torch flames serve different lighting preferences, while T20100 and T20101 let buyers choose gold or chrome detailing.
What Makes It a True Table Lighter?
S.T. Dupont describes the present collection as inspired by its archives and the Ligne 2, but this is a separate design rather than a scaled-up Ligne 2. The body is Zamak with glossy black lacquer, and the cap carries diamond-point guilloché decoration. A sliding-and-pressing trigger changes between a wind-resistant yellow flame and a torch flame.
The broad body and extra weight give it visual and physical stability for shared use. It is also harder to misplace than a pocket lighter. However, the official specification does not advertise the famous Ligne 2 “Cling,” so collectors should buy it for its scale, mechanism and finish—not assume it offers the same opening ritual.
| Choice | Finish and format | Flame system | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|
| T20100 | Black lacquer with gold finish; 325 g | Yellow flame plus torch | Warm-toned cigar rooms and gold accessories |
| T20101 | Black lacquer with chrome finish; 325 g | Yellow flame plus torch | Modern lounges and silver-toned décor |
| Le Grand Dupont | Smaller, portable luxury format | Soft yellow flame plus torch | Buyers who want dual-flame versatility on the move |
| Vintage table lighter | Specifications vary by reference and era | Must be verified individually | Collectors prioritizing rarity and period design |
Which Flame Works Best for Cigars?
The yellow flame offers a more traditional, controlled approach to toasting the foot. The concentrated torch is quicker and useful for touching up an uneven burn. A table lighter that provides both lets guests choose their preferred method without filling the room with several tools.
What Collectors Should Check
- Reference: verify T20100 or T20101 against the finish shown on the lighter and packaging.
- Scale: measure the intended surface; the 115 mm length is part of its appeal but demands space.
- Operation: test both flame modes and confirm smooth trigger movement.
- Fuel: the official matching refill is black gas REF 900430.
- Finish: inspect lacquer, cap, corners and base for chips, scratches or impact marks.
- Completeness: retain the correct box, paperwork and purchase record for future collector interest.
