Greetings and welcome to Aurea Flamma, where the art of smoking is celebrated through the elegance of antique craftsmanship.

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, TiffanyAspreyEloi 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.

At Aurea Flamma, we celebrate the marriage of artistry and function, offering a selection that caters to the discerning tastes of smoking aficionados, collectors, and enthusiasts alike. As you journey through these curated artifacts, may you find the perfect treasure to enrich your own smoking ritual, and may each piece inspire you to savor every moment with distinction.

Thank you for joining me in this elegant pursuit.  I’m honored to share my passion with you.

Memento Vivere!
