S.T. Dupont has announced that it is adding the signature “ping” to its lacquered versions of the Le Grand, an ultra-premium lighter that features both soft and jet flames. The ping comes from a metal plate inside the lid that makes a “ping” sound when the lid is opened. This is also found on the Line 2 lighter brand.
Both lighters feature black lacquer with one lighter coming in palladium and the other in gold plate. Both lighters have an MSRP of $1,795. These lighters are expected to begin shipping this week.
