It's like having a 1959 Cadillac in your pocket.

Is there still any connection between the Dunhill tobacco and apparel companies? And in which camp do the lighters fall?Originally Posted by tiger02
I think the tobacco entity is separate though whether or not they are still owned by Richemont, I don't know.
The tobacco division has its own website: http://www.whitespot.co.uk/

I used to buy these nice electric-starting refillable lighters in Europe, very minimalist, refillable, maybe about 8 bucks (can't recall the Euro price). I looked in a head shop here recently, and they didn't have anything like that. Anyone know if they sell those in the States? They represented a nice compromise between a disposable and a true accessory...

Nicholas Foulkes calls the Dupont lighters, the most "plutocratic lighters". I like that. They, of course, also have that infamous ping though the Line 1s don't really have it. http://search.ft.com/nonFtArticle?id=021026003796

I think a matchbook is much sexier than a lighter.Originally Posted by SoCal2NYC
A match does have its days in a dark street with a trench coat collar turned up, but for general usage, it's somewhat inconvenient and inelegant.
