Cohiba Cigar Pen

[bruce119]

This is work still in progress. A friend asked me about modeling a cigar that his son smokes. I worked on this off and on for several weeks. I still don't have all the bugs worked out but getting closer.

There is more about it in casting and stabilizing and it's a Gentelmans pen.

going on.

 

[MarkHix]

Bruce, I like it alot. Seems like the owner will have to be careful what he lights!

 

[Mather323]

Bruce your pen is great.

 

[pipeyeti]

Very nice let me know when you get the process down. I would love to buy some blanks from you heck I'll even supply the stogies.

 

[airrat]

nice job that looks better then my photoshop one

 

[txbatons]

Very nice! Great work!

 

[NCWoodworker]

Very nice...this looks great! I know there are a lot of people who will be anxiously waiting for your lessons.

What a shame to use a cigar that fine on a pen - sure looks great though! I'm torn!

 

[DKF]

That is very nice....and being a cigar smoker myself, I like that!

Saw this in your other post, Comment still applies.[]
I had a think about this and wondered if injecting thin CA with a syringe into the centre area of the cigar would be of any help. Also you mention darkening because of moisture. Would some time in the microwave help?

I hope you used the wrapper from a cheap cigar. As nice as the pen is, those Cohiba reserves are like candy to a fat kid. They would make spendy blanks too. Great idea and execution.

That's a sharp pen, Bruce. From where I sit, I can't see what needs improving.

 

[Tanner]

That's realy cool! Nice job!!

 

[louisbry]

Nice looking pen Bruce.

 

[LEAP]

That is cool! Advertise those in one of the big cigar magazines and you'll be busy for life.

 

[jwoodwright]

This is great! No improvement is needed.

 

[Ligget]

Fantastic![]

 

[SherryD]

nice touch, looks like the real thing, should sell well.

 

[johncrane]

Great out side the box thinking well done,

 

[simomatra]

Great idea and a good result so far. well done

 

[workinforwood]

That's a beautiful pen sir!

 

[wjskip]

A good cigar can make those m3 blanks look affordable
Tremendous job Still think i would rather smoke one than write with it.

 

[VisExp]

That is a great looking pen Bruce. I was wondering how it would look if you put the cigar label just a little lower (closer to the center band). To my eye the proportions would match the genuine cigar a bit better.

 

[thefunkyP]

Very nice looking pen. I've actually been waiting to see someone try this. I'll bet a closed end would look amazing. Don't get me wrong I like this version quite well too. Thanks for sharing the photos.

 

[mrplace]

Bruce, It is already exteremly cool, but I was thinking if you made a closed end with the end that you clip (mouth end) you could keep the cigar almost intact.

Either way, its still sweet.

Instead of repeating what everyone else said, I'll ask the obvious:
Why not a cigar kit for a cigar pen?

Seriously, nicely done. It's classy looking.
