The X-tend is definitely the least expensive to the Dupont line. The Line 2's start at about $415 (with your Cigarmony discount

They are all essentially the same for the exception of height and thickness differences. All are soft flamed lighters and are available with the dual cigar flame (2 jets instead of one - better for cigar lighting).
I prefer the Line 2 above all because it holds more fuel and has a heartier feel to it.
Hope this helps!

Quote:I'm still torn between a Ligne 1 or Ligne 2 and the X-Tend. Do the Ligne models gently set flame to your cigar and the X-Tend model torches it? I'm not sure I need the windproof feature that seems to be high on the spec sheet for the X-Tend, I have found that the blast from a torch lighter can sometimes set the oils ablaze and interfere with the taste, then again, the torch type are second to none for touching up and saving a possible death run down a premium stick.
I like the old world look and the character of the Ligne line, but I also like how smooth the X-Tend line seem to be ..... its a tactile thing here folks, so bear with me.
Any experiance you guys may have would be a great help as the prices are close enough for me to give serious concideration between each of them since I see this as a one time purchase.
