TABLE LIGHTER ROVERE (OAK)

THE DESIGN

Turned from solid Rovere oak, the same wood once used for wine barrels and ship hulls across Italy, this table lighter carries the warmth and grain of a material built to last. Its weight sits reassuringly in the hand, a small ritual object as much as a tool.

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

The body is turned from a single block of solid wood and finished to bring out the depth of the grain — lighter in the hand than the marble bodies, but still weighted to stay upright on a table while a cigar is turned above the flame. Built around the cigar ritual, it is meant to become a lifelong companion rather than a lighter that is replaced. Handmade from natural materials: expect gentle variation in veining, grain and tone from the photograph.

CARE

Wipe the wood with a soft, dry cloth; the tone deepens naturally with age, which is part of its character. Bleed the tank and refill with premium butane only, and allow the insert a moment to reach room temperature after filling before lighting.
