The Cadillac of Lighters: Dunhill Rollagas

[admin]

Sometimes the accessories can be just as much fun, exciting, or interesting as the items they compliment or accompany. That can definitely be the case with really nice pipe lighters. Check out James Foster's new article on the Dunhill Rollagas Lighter.

The counterfeit market is VERY seriously killing the high end lighter market. Usually counterfeits are just fakes, but I've been watching the used lighters for sale and its in trouble from the fakes. It's a real shame. I LOVE high end lighters.

This is a really great article. Well researched. I enjoyed reading it. I've been eyeing a Dunhill lighter for a while now. I may have to take a look at the 'bay.

@Nate - you just have to make sure you're buying from legit source - you can check out the dunhill collectors group on facebook and they can point you to the right people.

Thanks for that info! Much appreciated!

The Dunhill Rollagas lighter may be the Caddilac of their lighter line; however, their Gemline model is the Rolls Royce!

Anyone know where I could find the McLaren of lighters?

Here you go: McLaren Lighters

Hunter, the Mclarens OF lighters, not McLaren lighters.

:wink:

Rollagas is nice, but a S T DuPont Ligne 2 with a pipe burner -- it doesn't get better than that

Or there's this domestic gem: Solid Gold Zippo.

What is a "Cadillac"?

 

[jpmcwjr]

He was an early French explorer. There's a mountain named after him on Mt. Desert, Maine.

Thanks. I checked Wikipedia and it seems there are several towns also named after him, as well as a car company that is part of General Motors. Presumably because Cadillac founded Detroit.

The Cadillac car company seems to have made some very good cars between the 1920s to the 1950s.
