What a great few years it has been for S.T. Dupont. They continue to lead in innovations among cigar accessories, winning our accessory of the year for the last two years in a row. And yet here we are again with a list of new products that debuted at the 2026 PCA trade show and convention, including the brand new S.T. Dupont table lighter. Most of the stuff we see from S.T. Dupont in terms of new products is cosmetic additions or changes to existing models. However the company does seem to find a way to introduce new hardware in itself every year.
Under the Lid
At first glance, it looks like the Biggy lighter, albeit much larger, which then again was designed to look like the famous Le Grand lighter. In addition to its hefty size, it features two burners, one of which being the five jet blade flame from the Biggy, lighter, and the other being the windproof soft flame from the new Defi Windproof. It is also a heavy lighter for what it is even for its size but then again, it isn’t meant to be carried around. It weighs approximately 14.1 ounces, weighing just under a pound.
The one drawback I have with this lighter is that it shows plenty of fingerprints and smudging. Now, I know all of the lighters do this but it isn’t as noticeable on a smaller lighter and given the size of the table lighter, it acts like a billboard for messiness. Now, there isn’t much you can do about this unless S.T. Dupont introduces a case to go with it.
Each burner does have independent fuel control on the bottom of the lighter body as well as a fuel fill port. The blade flame being marked with a line and the soft with the circle. In addition, on the trigger there is a sliding mechanism that allows you to change between which burner you want to use and before you ask no – you cannot use both at the same time. The slide mechanism also has the line and circle that identify which burner is selected and to use it, you simply slide the face of the trigger up or down revealing said icon that is currently engaged.
Pricing and Availability
The table lighter is available in two finishes:
- Black Lacquer with Palladium
- Black Lacquer with Gold Plate
Both of these options have an MSRP of $795. I would expect to see newer versions styles and possibly collaborations featuring the table lighter in the future…oh how great this would have been in the Opus X and Padron 60th collections that came out the last few years – sigh.
Performance Notes
In terms of the burners themselves, I hate to put it this way but nothing new here. We already know these burners and we know they are fantastic. I don’t notice anything different about them from their standalone counterparts. But for the sake of this review, yes they both function great for their intended target lighting functionality. In regard to the flat flame, I find it great for lighting cigars just right when using a torch and almost mimics a soft light if used the correct way.
The soft flame aspect, as I wrote in the Defi Windproof review, is a combination of soft and jet burning technologies and while there is both yellow and blue flame, it still presents as a soft flame but there is a small amount of blue flame on the outer edge to help keep wind away from the yellow flame.The windproof, if anything, might just be a little more powerful than the one on the Defi model. Then again, just like Texas, everything is bigger, including the fuel tank and while I do not know exactly how much fuel it holds I have to assume it has somewhat of a large capacity considering how many cans of fuel I am not going through filling it up.
Smokin Wrap
There isn’t much more I can add here other than it makes a great table to lounge lighter, it is big, holds plenty of butane and like all S.T. Dupont products is beyond reliable. I will say that in my opinion, it should be bought and used like a table lighter and stay in the home or lounge. Please for the love of god or whatever deity you believe in, don’t be that person carrying this lighter around. This is a free country after all but please don’t be that person. I do hope to see a case for it because regardless, things can happen anywhere and at anytime. In addition, I suspect S.T. Dupont will use this lighter in future projects that could make it collectable and having a case for it would help preserve the quality for collectors.
Smokin Facts
- S.T. Dupont/Coles of London advertises with Smokin Tabacco, but that has no weight on scoring
- Lighter was loaned to Smokin Tabacco for photos by Coles of London
- It is made in China like most of the torch lighters are
- Comes with a standard two-year factory warranty
- S.T. Dupont recommends the “Black” fuel refill (Sold Separately)
Purchase recommendation: If you’re a serious smoker with a home lounge, buy it. Otherwise it might not be worth it for you.
