I had my dream lighter...
Alligator skin Ronson, bought at a flea market in St Petersburg, FLA in the late summer of 1989. Left it in a diner in Sarasota at 3am and was handed it back a few days later by the waitress. Lost it again on another night out and that was it. Ten days max I had that lighter and I still miss it.
Looked something like this if anyone picked it up...

Pigskin, not alligator but I found a Ronson Senator in a junk shop last weekend and just had to get it

Got one of my Dream Table lighters this year. Its a c1980s ST Dupont. Serviced and works great. I love it. I use it almost daily.

Next dream lighter on the list is a Dunhill Unique Table Lighter. Id love to own one someday.

Dunhill Rollalite Watch lighter

It's a petrol lighter with a Swiss watch movement located on the top. Not the best for lighting cigars but I thought I'd share this. It's beautiful and very very rare.

Attached is an image of a similar watch movement which would of been used in Dunhills like this.

Just purchased this one and the matching fountain pen. I have a serious weakness for all things DuPont.

That’s pretty. Close up please! Is this modern or vintage?

When was that manufactured?  A friend of mine was the creative head of ST Dupont when the 007 stuff came out.

Congrats on the lovely pen and lighter.

And it comes with a fine dusting of hair!

Cat hair… gets everywhere. Thanks!

Here’s info on the lighter…
“The ST Dupont ATELIER was created in 1953 in our manufacture in Faverges; real place of creation of special orders or exceptional objects for exceptional people. It has all the secrets of manufacturing of our precious lighters an illustrates perfectly the art of goldsmith and lacquer of the brand.
For “collection ST Dupont ATELIER”, the former S.T. DUPONT’ script is slightly engraved on the banner at the front of the lighter. The date 1953 and the symbol of the winged wheel are finely engraved on the product and evoke the date of creation of the ATELIER and the brand unique know-how in goldsmith. Ancient know how, noble materials and perfect finishes make the ST Dupont lighter, a cult object, passed down from generation to generation.”

I have a setup of my dream accessories for when I smoke indoors. Love the ST Dupont brand. This is the Le Grand lighter with dual soft flame and single torch, the punch cutter, and the double cutter with straight cut and v-cut.

I noticed S.T. Dupont released the upgraded version of Le Grand called Le Grand Cling which is exactly same as Le Grand but with signature bold S.T. Dupont cling sound like Ligne 2. Since Defi Extreme red single jet flame seems to be difficult to find in these days, I decided to set Le Grand Cling as my ultimate dream cigar lighter.

My dream lighter is an Eagle Torch because all other lighters give me nightmares.

I’ve always wanted an Eldred Jump Spark lighter. My old B&M hangout, Tobacco Lane in Fort Worth, had one at the counter. I don’t know what happened to it when they closed the shop, but I’ll never forget that lighter.

After my grandpa’s death, I got this 1920’s lighter from his things.

My Dad just recently told me the whole story behind it. Before WWII, my grandpa, Herman, got a job with Ma Bell (AT&T). During the war, he served the Communications branch of the US Army, and after the war he went back to work for Ma Bell. His old boss wanted to see him and thank him for his service, so called him to his office. After welcoming Herman back, the boss noticed he was looking at this old lighter. He said it was a gift from the company, his prized lighter. He offered Herman a cigar and even though my grandpa didn’t normally smoke, he accepted. They talked and smoked together, and then he told my grandpa to take the lighter as a “welcome back” gift. My grandpa didn’t normally smoke, like I said, but didn’t want to turn down such a thoughtful gift. Ever since then, it hadn’t been used. Just a decoration. I recently opened it up and replaced all the cotton filler and wick. Flint is still original. Works like a dream, at roughly 100 years old!

Best lighter ever. Old and a personal family story behind it. Awesome!

I'm a softy.

It's huge! They do come up here and there. If you'd like to know more PM me.

I have some pretty cool ones that were my grandfather’s. 
They’re all pretty flashy, but I do love them. 
The Cartier is my favorite.

They had a silver one like this at Bergdorf a while back.  Very cool!

cant usually stand owning anything gold coloured, but this works nicely somehow.
