Fuente Anniversary Dupont Lighters Designed by Manny Iriarte

To celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary, Carlito Fuente worked with Manny Iriate to create artwork depicting the history of the family. Michael Reynolds, President of James Michael/Lotus International had the know how of the products that would create the look he envisioned. The goal was to create art, not just put a logo on to a product. The result of a year’s collaboration paid off as the collection of James Michael & S.T.Dupont cigar accessories were debuted in New Orleans, LA at IPCPR.

The S.T. Dupont Line 2 lighter with a cigar burner is adorned with design and engraving on all sides of the lighter. The S.T. Dupont Black lacquer or Red lacquer and gold plated piece is a limited edition of only Four Hundred pieces per color. Each piece is individually numbered along with a gold plated plaque presented in a custom designed high gloss wooden lacquer box. For the true Opus X aficionado Michael had Dupont work with II Saints to sculpt a bronze Line 2 lighter that shows the Old Havana balcony from the family’s Cuba days through today in Tampa Florida.  This stunning piece is limited to Ten pieces.

There are also 3 Maxi Jets and 1 Cutter set being offered with Manny Iriate’s amazing artwork on the front and back of the lighter and cutter.  Each set is packed with a Fuente Embossed Genuine Black leather pouch. The collection will be available beginning October 2015.
