Elie Blue Marquetry Jet Flame Cigar Lighters

The marquetry decorations on Elie Bleu’s J-14 torch flame lighter models replicate the marquetry featured on its Alba humidor collection, providing retailers an opportunity for either standalone or add-on sales as the company continues to expand its concept of matching families of accessories. The meticulously crafted inlaid designs are made from small pieces of variously colored wood, painstakenly cut and assembled entirely by hand in the grand French tradition known as “element by element” marquetry. Lighters feature all-brass case construction, the company’s exclusive cigar diamond jet burner system technology, piston cap operating system, side ignition, view tank window with level gauge, half moon flame adjuster, fuel cover, and rhodium finishes. Four different styles are offered—Black, Yellow, Blue, or Red lacquer— each featuring its own unique inlaid marquetry design. Suggested retail, €295.

Sporty Edgar Pipe from Vauen

Technical, dynamic, and extraordinary: the sporty Edgar pipe is a cut above. The ribs of the ceramic composite bowl ring on this solid briar pipe have the same effect as the cooling fins on a motorbike cylinder. Thanks to their heat dissipation capabilities, these fins literally make the smoking experience cooler. For fans of bent pipes, the purist design has also been interpreted in a curved shape. Designed and hand made in Germany, features acrylic fishtail mouthpiece with silver ring, finished in “white dot” quality in a choice of sleek white or rich brown stain. Comes in a gift tin.
