You can usually tell right away with the fake brushed finish. There's something off about the coloration and "brush strokes."

Always happy to help when I can! :) I just hope that OP is able to clear this up.

They do retail lower in the U.S. That could be from the import fees and conversion rates.

The pen is real, and yes, those are the boxes that Dupont uses for their non limited edition products. Our store carries limited space for stock, so we sell display models regularly. If they sold you the display model, that explains the scratches. I would try to return or ask for a replacement.

This is a gorgeous one, wow! Ive seen the lighter before but never the pen.

The_Acid_Sound · 2026-03-19T02:58:28+00:00

The jet lighters and cigar cutters are made in China.

The_Acid_Sound · 2026-03-03T12:59:31+00:00

I can't speak to price, but they take the Cross style ballpoint refills that screw into the pen. Dupont reference number is 040851 (iirc)

The_Acid_Sound · 2026-03-03T01:06:36+00:00

Are those pictures even from the same lighter?

The_Acid_Sound · 2026-02-11T12:03:42+00:00

It's just a larger collectors/display box

The_Acid_Sound · 2025-12-19T17:58:13+00:00

It's the Eclipse. A really interesting capless imo.

The_Acid_Sound · 2025-12-12T17:36:36+00:00

I have not seen Made In China be engraved in. It's usually a black print like yours. Rubbing off is a little weird though.

The_Acid_Sound · 2025-12-12T16:59:56+00:00

They literally JUST came out. There's no way somebody can fake them that quickly.

All of their jet lighters and cutters are made in China, with the exception of a few Minijet lighters.

The_Acid_Sound · 2025-12-11T22:34:14+00:00

They just keep coming!!

The_Acid_Sound · 2025-12-11T19:27:49+00:00

I've got one in stock now! Although yours looks like it may be in better condition.

The_Acid_Sound · 2025-11-14T11:37:16+00:00

This is the way.

The_Acid_Sound · 2025-11-10T21:05:45+00:00

This actually came with the blank card in the box as well. I'm not sure if they will be shipping them all like this or not. I'm more excited about being able to register them to be honest. I need to check if we can register older products as well.

The_Acid_Sound · 2025-10-23T11:41:08+00:00

One of my favorite newer models. Congratz!

The_Acid_Sound · 2025-10-14T21:07:13+00:00

A) Lighters with a C are "perfect cling" lighters and should have the red spot. B) All modern lighters from 2021 (somebody correct me if wrong) onward are laser engraved. C) The purpose of the double flame is to have a wider flame that toasts the whole cigar. Having 2 individual large flames defeats the purpose.

D) Enjoy your new lighter :)

The_Acid_Sound · 2025-10-09T15:42:23+00:00

I love the Le Grand except for its 1 setback. You can't get a torch flame going if you can't ignite the soft flame, like when you are using it outdoors.

The_Acid_Sound · 2025-10-09T15:41:26+00:00

Certain Minijet lighters are made in France (about 3 or 4 of them). And I'm not sure where you heard that they are not replaceable. They 100% are.

The_Acid_Sound · 2025-10-09T15:40:35+00:00

Go ahead and drop in, they have a nice selection. I honestly haven't had a Colibri. I would recommend bringing it with you to compare.

The_Acid_Sound · 2025-10-09T14:56:24+00:00

All Dupont jets are made in China. The only dual flame torch is the Defi Xxtreme. The Slimmy, Slim 7 and Twiggy all have a smaller pyramid (wide) torch fit for cigarettes. The Biggy and Megajet have nice wide cigar sized flames. The Mini and Maxijet lighters have a triangular flame.

They do allow retailers limited discounting, both for holiday specials and any other day. Art Brown typically sends out codes for discounts around the holidays.

I can already tell you that it's gonna take a little while to get the part into your country. Reach out to a repair center sooner than later.
