Very nice combinations and pictures! Two of the best in their own field! The little "ping" sound Dupont lighters make when you flip the lid open with the thumb has been their trademark for over a century and yet to be duplicated!

I got into Dupont lights years ago and really like the Line 2. I don't use them very much as I have found the Dupont Defi Extreme to be best lighter I have ever used. I always enjoy the ping.

I had one years ago and lost it in a week
Not responsible enough for fancy pens and lighters unfortunately

I have a DuPont and a Dunhill from my days in Europe, but now I just use my Xitar lighters that are gauranteed for ever at 1/10th the price. I need more function without the beauty or fantastic quality.

I love mine, but it makes me want to smoke, so I hide it in a drawer.
It’s a beautiful thing though, and very satisfying to use.

I used to use lighters for cigars and had a couple of Dumonts but have switch to wooden matches.

I didn't know DuPont lighters were/are a thing. Cool pictures though!
