On June 18, 2026, Club Mareva Beirut welcomed S.T. Dupont for a full day of craftsmanship, restoration, and conversation. The lounge in Jal El Dib turned into a workshop of sorts, where members and guests brought in their lighters, some passed down through generations, and watched them brought back to life by hand.
A dedicated S.T. Dupont specialist sat behind the brand's signature display all day, performing complete services on every piece that came across his table. Cleaning the mechanism, polishing the body, replacing the flint, refilling with genuine S.T. Dupont gas, and engraving initials or full names on the lighters that mattered most. Some were everyday companions. Others were heirlooms that had not seen a flame in years. By the end of the day, each one left the table looking and working as it should.
Alongside the service station, the club hosted a curated display of S.T. Dupont pieces, including limited editions and rare collectible models. The room carried the kind of quiet pride that only comes when people who love a thing find themselves in the same place at the same time.
The day would not have happened without Abou Adal, S.T. Dupont's distributor in Lebanon and one of the longest standing S.T. Dupont distributors in the world. Their decision to bring this experience to Club Mareva Beirut, and to trust the lounge as the home for it, means a great deal to us. We are grateful for the partnership and for the standard it sets.
At Club Mareva Beirut we have always been deliberate about which brands we represent and how we represent them. We carry S.T. Dupont because it is S.T. Dupont. We do not stock replicas. We do not stock copies. We do not stock lookalike pieces from other makers that borrow the codes without the craft. That choice costs us margin, and we are at peace with it. A lighter built properly is meant to last a lifetime, sometimes two. The pieces we sell, and the pieces our specialist serviced that day, are made to do exactly that.
To everyone who came in, brought a lighter, smoked a cigar, or simply spent the afternoon with us, thank you. To Abou Adal, thank you for the trust. To S.T. Dupont, thank you for the heritage that gave the day its meaning.
