The Porsche lighter, a gift idea

Short of ideas for a present for someone who smokes? Smoking has an answer: a Porsche lighter. An overview of this upmarket product, which remains reasonably affordable.

The lighter, an essential accessory

It is a fact that anyone who smokes needs a lighter for their cigarettes, their cigars or their pipe. While the role of any lighter is to produce a flame, they do not all do so with the same reliability or the same finish.

Many lighters are now regarded as luxury goods, either because they use fine materials or because they come from the hands of master craftsmen. A number of prestige houses have moved into upmarket lighters. That is the case with Porsche which, having established itself as one of the leading makers of luxury cars, has also branched out successfully into several other markets.

A closer look at Porsche Design: one of the major luxury accessory brands

Porsche Design has drawn on the reputation of the car division to design and promote a number of upmarket accessories. Made using advanced techniques, most of them go well beyond what users expect.

If you are looking for a present for someone who smokes, a Porsche lighter is one option. Neatly designed and above all powerful, these lighters produce a flame strong enough to light a cigar evenly.

The lines of the Porsche Design lighters have changed little over the years, and the object owes much of its appeal to the finish and to the worldwide reputation of the house behind it.
