A true classic in the Tobacciana world is this 1980s 18k gold plated Cartier ‘Godron’ butane lighter
Despite its immoderate ‘bling bling’ appearance, this piece features a number of subtleties that set it aside from the rest. My favourite is that the flint wheel is sprung/hinged and pivots outwards towards the user as the lid is opened, allowing for smooth, comfortable operation and ignition
Slight signs of wear commensurate with age and use but a nice clean example overall
Perfect working order with a good range of flame height adjustment
