Les Fines Lames, the French company known for its cigar knives and wearable cigar cutters, has expanded into another cigar accessory segment: lighters.
During the 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show, Les Fines Lames began selling a new line of flat-flame lighters made in Paris named Le Feu, which translates to The Fire. In addition to a fuel gauge, the lighter features a Cerakote coating, a process that involves adding a liquid ceramic coating that is either air-dried or dried with an oven.
According to the company, the Le Feu lighters will be available in 10 different color options, and while those options have not been finalized, each lighter will have an MSRP of $150.
The Le Feu lighters are scheduled to ship to retailers by the end of the year.

I have worn many hats in my life up to this point: I started out as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, then transitioned to photographing weddings—both internationally and in the U.S.—for more than a decade. After realizing that there was a need for a cigar website containing better photographs and more in-depth information about each release, I founded my first cigar blog, SmokingStogie, in 2008. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars, and it was one of the predecessors to halfwheel, which I co-founded.
