The Figurado

Now that’s a pen I can appreciate. The Koa was a great choice.

-- Martin ....always count the number of fingers you have before, and after using the saw.

COOL!!
Do you lacquer over the paper band to make it permanent?

-- Lew- Time traveler. Purveyor of the world's finest custom rolling pins!

Lew, I use 3 or 4 coats of CA glue over the band. But it is stuck there with contact adhesive first to get it positioned.
I too like the koa, too bad it is not cheap!

That’s a classic. Nothing like misdirection to strike up a conversation. Loving he stogi…makes me miss
going on cruises and the duty free store.

You did a great job on the cigar. The cigar stores will buy them

-- Dan I.G.N.

way cool. As a cigar smoker I like it

This is really cool. What type of pen kit did you use?

-- The only thing wrong with instant gratification is that it's not fast enough. Bake, Bar Lazy U Woodworks, Lehi,UT.

As an AVID cigar man myself, that is one of the coolest pens I have ever seen. If you’re interested in selling one of these, please email me (address on my website).

Awesome work!

Very nice. How do the two parts attach together? Are they threaded? Magnets?

The 2 halves screw together. I made one with the snap cap but I’m not a fan of those.
The magnet method will be for later projects. I’m having too much fun with these.

Scott, I have 3 other variations up on Etsy. There seems to be some interest but I’m not going to give these up for a song. There is at least 2 hours work in every one of them.

love it…I would say the ends look great. Heck, if I saw it laying around, I would grab for my lighter and then start making my way towards it.
