This lighter has been made in matte lilac and features a matte black jacket for protection surrounding the pastel lilac exterior. On the right hand side is the trigger in black engraved with the S.T. Dupont brand name on the surface; the left hand side features a clear window where you can see how much gas is left in the lighter which shows you when you need to add more. There are screws holding the matte black exterior in place around the diamond shaped lighter adding an even more masculine look. There are three diamond shapes featured near the top of the lighter on both sides for added texture. The flame is a powerful blue torch flame which resists the most violent winds. Défi Extrême is effective from the iciest temperatures (-10 degrees) to the warmest (+45 degrees). The lighter will light both cigars and cigarettes for both types of smokers.
