The ash end looks real good. If I was to find any fault, to my eye the other end is a little too blunt. But I can't really find fault, It is a great pen,very nicely done.

Awesome drawn right to it by the title. My favorite cigar.

I think the ash looks perfect, and as you mentioned, the seam is almost invisible. I doubt anyone would think that it was anything other than a cigar unless they looked really close.

I am with PaulDoug and the one end need to be more rounded. The other issue is I think your wood is a little too patterened for a cigar. I have recently started turning these and use straight walnut for the body. They have sold like crazy. 3 in a week at over 2 bills each.

Looks very Cigarish to me. Ash end li good but the mouth end seems to need just a bit of taper to it.

thanks guys for the comments the ash end I got a little carried away with the burn marks. the other end is tapered more than the pic shows plus Idid the end as if it were punched even with the punch hole.

Awesome pen buddy. Don't think for one second that the ash is wrong. I have humidor full of cigars and the ash is different on each one. Like other shave said....it looks smoked to me.

As the others said, that ash is very well done. I like that you thought to include a clipped mouth end on your cigar. That kind of attention to detail really stands out to me. If I ran into this pen sitting in an ashtray, I'd sure get fooled.

That's awesome! I've been looking at how to make the cigar pens, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I have many Opus X and Forbiden X bands and want to give this a shot. You've done an excellent job! I know I'll screw a few up, but now you've motivated me into trying it now that I see one with my favorite cigar band on it.

I think it's fair to say you've mastered this. Did you use gray buckeye burl, paint, or a different method for the ash end? Are the burn marks paint, burnt wood, or something else? Those look fantastic!

I did it as directed in the tutorial posted here. Buckeye burl and a soldering gun for the burn marks
