If you’re looking for an ultra-exclusive cigar lighter and have a couple of million dollars to spend on it, El Septimo has some things to show you.

At the upcoming PCA Convention & Trade Show, which kicks off later this week and runs from July 8-12, the company will show off a trio of tabletop lighters that are each encrusted with more than 250 carats of precious stones and jewels. As for the designs and names, one lighter is called The Zaya Collection Lighter, another is The Sacred Arts Collection Lighter – Van Gogh Edition, and the third is The Emperor Collection Lighter — Napoleon Edition.

Each lighter has an MSRP of roughly $5.5 million.


Each lighter offers a dual torch flame and stands between 6-8 inches tall, and will feature a mix of diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires.

The company will also show off an Emperor Collection pen that is covered with 24 karat gold, and designed by French artist Michel Audiard. The pen, which doubles as a cigar punch, comes in a limited edition Emperor Collection humidor and comes with 20 of the Emperor Collection Napoleon Royal Salomon cigars. Only three sets have been created, each priced at $100,000.

Should a retailer be interested, they will be available for purchase at the show are said to be available with near immediate delivery.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
