Introducing the New Line 1 Lighter from S.T. Dupont

S.T. Dupont has reintroduced one of its most recognizable lighter designs with the launch of the new Line 1. Long appreciated for its slim, rectangular form and understated presence, the Line 1 returns with thoughtful updates that bring it in line with the brand’s modern standards.

A Familiar Design, Reworked

At first glance, the new Line 1 stays true to its original identity. The clean lines, balanced proportions, and discreet profile remain intact—qualities that made the original so appealing.

What has changed is the execution. The new version feels more aligned with the current Dupont lineup, with a slightly refined stance and a more cohesive presence alongside models like the Line 2. It maintains the same quiet sophistication, but with a more contemporary finish and feel.

Now Featuring a Dual Flame System

One of the most notable updates is the addition of a dual flame mechanism.

This is a meaningful shift from earlier Line 1 models, adding versatility without complicating the design. It allows the lighter to adapt more easily to different uses while preserving the controlled, consistent ignition Dupont is known for.

Improved Usability

The new Line 1 also introduces a bottom-mounted flame adjustment, similar to what is found on the Line 2. This change makes the lighter more intuitive to adjust and brings consistency across Dupont’s soft flame offerings.

It’s a small detail, but one that improves everyday usability—especially for those already familiar with other models in the lineup.

 

Where It Fits Today

The reintroduction of the Line 1 fills an important space within the collection. It offers a slimmer, more discreet alternative to larger models while incorporating modern functionality that earlier versions did not have.

For longtime collectors, it represents the return of a familiar design—updated in a way that feels intentional rather than altered. For new customers, it provides a refined entry point into Dupont’s traditional soft flame category with added versatility.

 

Final Thoughts

The new Line 1 is a careful balance of past and present. It retains the defining characteristics of the original while introducing updates that make it more practical for modern use.

If you’re familiar with earlier Line 1 models, the differences are worth exploring. If you’re new to the design, this is a strong introduction to one of Dupont’s most recognizable formats.
