Lighters: Kiribi Kabuto Smokingpipes Pipe Lighter Limited Edition 2018

Along with the katana, the kabuto (winged battle helm) boasts an integral association with the pre-Meiji Restoration samurai class. While the inspiration for the Kiribi shapes all hail directly from the zenith of Art Deco, the Kabuto also incorporates an homage to this tradition within the gesture of the wing-like cap toggle — a direct reference to the fukigaeshi (crescent like wings on the side of the kabuto)

Though distinctly retro-chic on the outside, your new Kabuto sports a state-of-the-art modernist design, technology, and cutting-edge innovations within. It features:

• angled flame design that offers a convenient and more gentle light for your pipe
• hinge spring made of a special polymer that is far more resilient to fatigue than steel
• single tank construction with impressive fuel capacity
• 100% hand assembled in Japan
• sturdy brass, steel, and nickel construction

In a special, 2018 limited edition, we're proud to offer this one-of-a-kind Kabuto, specially made for Smokingpipes.com. Featuring a silver-hued, satin finish, it's decorated in a display of crimson-hued pipes cascading down the lighter's face to our logo in the bottom corner. Like your choice of cuff links or writing pen, your lighter communicates much about your discerning tastes to others. Show your love for SPC with this exquisite and collectible Kiribi Kabuto.
