I’m Derek Gilman, and it is with a profound appreciation for the timeless quality of vintage treasures that I invite you to explore my collection.

Aurea Flamma (“Golden Flame”) was born from a lifelong reverence for the intricate details that define genuine luxury. For over two decades, I have immersed myself in the world of antique smoking tools, elevating my own smoking ritual through the refinement and history of these exquisite implements.  As a passionate collector, I understand the deep, personal connection that connoisseurs forge with their smoking tools.  Each piece, meticulously curated, is not merely a tool but an extension of one’s individuality and taste. 

In this collection you will discover lighters, match safes, cigarette holders, ashtrays, and cigar cutters from renowned brands like Dunhill, Tiffany, Asprey, Eloi Pernet, Cartier, and Van Cleef & Arpels, each piece resonating with a unique sense of sophistication and flair. These artifacts are more than relics, they are vessels of tradition and elegance, designed to enhance your smoking experience with unparalleled grace.
