OBSIDIAN TABLE CIGAR LIGHTER TYPE 2 — BLACK, SILVER AND BROWN OBSIDIAN
The Obsidian Cigar Lighter Type 2 is conceived as a sculptural tabletop lighter carved from natural volcanic glass. Its faceted body reveals the depth and density of obsidian, a material known for its naturally polished surface and subtle internal reflections.
The design is built around a disciplined geometric structure where sharp planes and controlled angles interact with light, allowing the mineral character of the stone to become the central visual element. The polished metal ignition unit forms a precise mechanical contrast to the dark mineral body, emphasizing both material authenticity and functional clarity.
Each lighter is individually carved, and because obsidian is a natural volcanic glass, every piece displays its own internal patterns, tonal transitions, and crystalline nuances. This natural variability ensures that no two lighters are identical.
The Obsidian Table Cigar Lighter Type 2 is available in Black Obsidian, Silver Obsidian, and Brown (Mahogany) Obsidian. Its mineral presence pairs naturally with obsidian cigar ashtrays and other stone cigar accessories, forming a cohesive and refined cigar setting.
Developed for cigar enthusiasts who appreciate natural materials and architectural design, the lighter combines practical functionality with the presence of a carved mineral object.
The Type 2 interpretation approaches the cigar lighter as a carved stone structure rather than a conventional metal device. The faceted obsidian body is treated as the primary architectural component, allowing the volcanic glass to define the visual weight of the object.
Light interacts with the planar surfaces of the stone, producing subtle reflections and tonal depth that vary with each piece. The metal ignition mechanism remains deliberately restrained, functioning as a precise mechanical element within the mineral form.
Individually produced from natural obsidian, every lighter preserves the unique characteristics of volcanic glass, positioning it as both a functional cigar accessory and a compact sculptural object within a refined cigar environment.
THE ARTISTRY OF MATERIALS
Obsidian (Volcanic Glass). Origin: Armenia
Obsidian, with its origin in Armenia, is a naturally occurring volcanic glass. It is created when felsic lava expelled from a volcano cools rapidly, preventing the formation of crystals. Obsidian has been recognized and used since prehistoric times, making it one of the earliest known materials employed by humans for tools, weapons, and artistic creations. Its unique properties and sharp edges when fractured have made it a valuable and versatile material throughout history.
