The Arturo Fuente Hemingway Elie Blue lighter commemorates one of the company’s most popular blends, named after the legendary Nobel-prize winning American writer, Ernest Hemingway. In 2019, the Hemingway blend earned a 94-point rating with Cigar Aficionado and is beloved the world over for the way it “loads the palate with nutty, toasty smoke before blossoming with baking spices, citrus notes, and the sweet-and-spicy properties that Cameroon wrapper is known for.” The fact that it also came packed in an unusual perfecto shape with a bulbous foot helped further its reputation for being an interesting and highly intriguing smoke.
So it’s only fitting that it now has its own premium lighter, too.
Arturo Fuente has commissioned a number of these Elie Bleu lighters for a few cigar lines, including the Gran Reserva and Don Carlos blends. Both of these are quite deserving of special honor, and so the Hemingway model is in good company as part of this luxury lighter family.
The Hemingway lighter itself is a beautifully crafted single jet flame lighter. Pull back the chromed-out top slide and you’ll be greeted with a flame right away. A refill port on the bottom is available when your Firestarter runs dry. It features a slim profile for easy storage in your pocket. But after all this, it’s the gorgeous design that really makes the Arturo Fuente Hemingway Elie Bleu Lighter a winner. Logos adorn one side and a scene of the Chateau Fuente fields in the Dominican Republic grace the other. Just in the same way that a great cigar transports you far away from ordinary life, the lighter does so visually.
Elie Bleu is a French design studio known historically for high-end woodworking. But since producing a series of fine humidors, Elie Bleu has been drawn into the cigar world, making stunning accessories of various kinds. Tobacco has a certain magnetism on the artisans who step into the industry, and Elie Bleu has found that the pull of the industry is simply undeniable.
If you got to make works of art like the Arturo Fuente Hemingway Elie Bleu Lighter, you’d be all in on cigars too, wouldn’t you?
