THE DESIGN
La Casona is an artistic tribute to the historic colonial "casonas" of Cuba, born from a collaboration between Litolite and La Casona Cubana. Each piece is first carved in bas-relief from solid white Carrara marble and then meticulously hand-painted by master Italian artisans, so the streets, façades and colours of Havana come to life against the stone. No two pieces are identical. This limited-edition table lighter carries a hand-painted micro-relief: the surface is engraved to give the artwork depth and tactility, then painted by hand so the colours of the Cuban scenery stand against the pristine white marble. At 2.5 kg it offers a substantial presence on any desk or in any cigar lounge.
THE FLAME
Inside sits a Vector KGM triple-flame torch insert: a butane burner that fires three angled jets into a single concentrated cone. It lights broad and even across the foot of a cigar, so a large ring gauge toasts uniformly rather than scorching at one edge, and the jet flame holds steady outdoors where a soft flame would not. A hinged cap lifts to fire the burner, a rotary adjuster sets the flame height, and the tank refills from the base with premium refined butane.
THE CRAFT
At 2.5 kg the marble body does the practical work: it stays planted on the table while you toast the foot of a cigar with both hands — exactly when a pocket lighter tends to slip. Each body is cut from a single block and polished by hand, so the veining is entirely its own. Handmade from natural materials: expect gentle variation in veining, grain and tone from the photograph.
SPECIFICATIONS
• Size: 12 cm × 12 cm × 6 cm • Weight: 2.5 kg • Material: solid marble • Flame: Vector KGM triple-flame torch insert, butane, base refill • Made in Italy • Made to order: allow 2–4 weeks from the atelier plus transit to Canada
WHO THIS IS FOR

CARE
Clean the marble with a soft, barely damp cloth only — acidic and limescale products etch polished stone permanently. Bleed the tank and refill with premium butane only, and allow the insert a moment to reach room temperature after filling before lighting.
