A copycat?

I saw ragz lit cigar and was absolutely gobsmacked by it. I thoght I would love to do something like that. Making the mandrels and figuring out the timbers that might make it. I used Black Walnut and Bimble Box Burl on a Jr Gent kit. I know that it's not perfect, but I am very happy with it. I reckon ragz's is much better, but I'm happy with mine anyway. Please feel free to comment.

Looks like a cigar. Very nice looking. Must have been a lot of work, but certainly worth it.

Great work undies that has come up a treat and will be a big hit with the smoking fraternity. I like your added touch with the ashtray.

For lining up the grain when I cut my blanks I mark the outside as everyone does and after I square the ends i transfer the mark to the inside on the brass tube that way you get the grain lined up every time. I hope that makes sense
