S.T. Dupont Releases New Le Grand Lacquer with Ping

February 16, 2026 By Matthew Tabacco

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.
