Cigar Pencils?

[rjwolfe3]

I had a customer call and ask me to make him a cigar pen and pencil set in a high end plating. I searched all of our suppliers and the only high end pencil kits I could find are Black Ti from Wood Pen Pro. I did find Upgrade Gold and Chrome from others but no Gold Ti and Platinum. Are these not available? Or can you convert a pen into a pencil?

It may not matter though, I think I may have been too high in prices for the set. He wanted a snakeskin set and I quoted him $128 for both pen and pencil in snakeskin. Do you guys think I was overpriced?:question:

Check-out Berea ... I bought a Cigar pencil from them recently (although the kit will sit until the weather warms up).

And no, I don't think you are overpriced for a pen/pencil set, especially with an 'exotic' body such a snakeskin. (BTW, the tubes on the pencil are different than those on the pen.)

Good news he called back and wants them. The kits I am going to get are from Wood Pen Pro and he says they are black Ti. I like the price too. Only 7.00 for the pencil kit.

I think you may have underpriced if anything, but the prices do change depending on where you are selling and who you are selling to.

I agree that you are underpriced.

I've tried the WoodPenPro (WPP) cigar pencil kits and I think the mechanism feels flimsy. To be honest, I haven't found a single cigar pencil kit that is better than a cigar pen kit with a schmidt pencil mechanism. That's how I make them now. My preference in cigar pen kits is the WPP two-tone cigar.

Underpriced..


but then again,,I haven't found a pencil mechanism I've liked or thought worthy to sell.
