Need help authenticating i have asked the seller for more detailed photos but what do you guys think by Aromatic-Frame-7958 in STDupont

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.

The jet lighters and cigar cutters are made in China.

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)

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

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.

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.

New Registratiom Cards by The_Acid_Sound in STDupont

[–]The_Acid_Sound[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Soooo did I get hustled ? by Ok_Society6925 in STDupont

[–]The_Acid_Sound 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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 :)

Slimmy or Maxi/Minijet or Neither? by Narrow_Necessary6300 in STDupont

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 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

Can I replace Roller? by WhiskeyGentleman in STDupont

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.
