Ligne 2 - Lacquered Lighter Maki-E Fugaku

THE SOUND

The signature “cling” — the crystalline note that rings when the cap opens. Recognized in every cigar lounge in the world, it is the calling card of the Ligne 2.

THE FLAME

A double yellow soft flame — gentle, wide and even, the connoisseur’s choice for toasting a fine cigar without scorching it.

THE CRAFT

S.T. Dupont continues its tribute to the ancestral Japanese art of Maki-e. Hand-decorated by the master artisans of Wajimaya Zenni in Japan, each piece reveals intricate designs in gold powder and coloured lacquers, representing traditional Japanese symbols — and signed “Zenni.” Weeks of work; no two identical.

THE RITUAL

The Fugaku collection is inspired by the ancient name of Mount Fuji. Combined with the torii — the gate that marks the passage to the sacred — and cherry blossoms whose petals are highlighted in mother-of-pearl, it reveals the full beauty of Japanese nature.
