I still have the images on my retina.
The image of my father who slowly lit a cigar, to enjoy it with a glass of vieux.
My father was a man of small pleasures. After working he enjoyed being with his family.
To see his two boys, myself and @eqko, again after a hard day's work.
His own relaxed moment of the day
After dinner, he crawled into his own corner on the couch...
That seat was sacred!
You had to be very willing to fight, or tired of life if you just sat in his place ...
That place, with on the side an ashtray made by my father himself, his own stuff within reach, that's where his own enjoyment of the day started!
He always looked proud when he picked up his golden Dupont lighter from his table to light his cigar.
Quality lighter
It was a lighter from the Dupont brand. A lighter, which according to him, always functioned.
The lighter was always with him, wherever he went.
I want that too!
Because I also like to smoke a cigar and want a good lighter, I did not have to think long!
It had to be a Dupont lighter. But so many years later we have been given choices! In addition to a lighter with a normal flame, you can now also opt for a lighter with a torch.
The one I chose was the lather one and the finish in the silver variant.
This one: Dupont Maxijet lighter
As proud as a peacock and with the nostalgic feeling of thinking about my father, I filled the lighter with gas.
Once full, I unfortunately found out that gas was leaking when lighting. Apparently the quality is not exactly the same as it was 30 years ago.
I have already completed a return form. But as a replacement ordered. This brand just has to be good.
The reviews were also favorable.
What I certainly know for sure ....
My father was unmistakably right in that time!

Nice and sensible post
Nostalgie! ☺️
Aw man, that's rough that it leaked. I bet it was a rare incident! I remember those lighters, they were really popular
nice story Ser.. always nice to have such good memories. Hope you will get the new one soon.
I have a thing for lighter too! But I still favor the flame. I have an old one with gasoline, from grandpa. Gasoline and flint
Nice story m8. I enjoyed reading it. It’s typically you to have an gadget like that. Just like your dad.
Lots of love,

Deze miste nog, de sigaren hadden we al!
