There’s a new, dual-flame version of S.T.Dupont’s Defi Extrême torch lighter.

The S.T.Dupont Défi XXtrême takes the same basic design as the original Défi—large body, side ignition, visible fuel tank and an X-like design pattern—but adds a second flame. The two flames are angled together to create a more precise lighting experience.

It has launched in two colors a black and matte red combination and an all-black version. Both are priced at $398.

Like the original Défi lighter, the company is marketing this as a high-altitude lighter.

S.T.Dupont is distributed in the U.S. by Davidoff of Geneva USA. The Défi XXtrême began shipping to stores last week.
