Gel refill for cigar

[GregMuller]

Does anyone know what gel refill for a cigar I can get at Staples?

Anything made for Parker pens, has a unique "stairstep" top.

Our suppliers selling gel refills in the Parker-style, also as Ed said, one can get original Parker gel refill in any office supply store. However, they are a bit thick at the end and one must ream out the nib hole in some case, a small number drill bit, I believe its somewhere around 38/40/42 will do the job. Somewhere in these stores I saw no-name Parkerstyle gel refills. You just have to get out or order them.

I use the original Parker Gel refills in all my Berea Cigar pens from Arizona Silhouette and Woodcraft and have never had to drill anything out; they all fit perfectly. I have never tried a PSI Cigar though so those may be different.

The Gel refills from CSUSA are dreamy. Good price too.

Greg,

You are LUCKY. OR you don't use Titanium Cigars. The Chrome and other platings seem to be much better, but many "titanium gold" will not accomodate the "real" Parker gel without "re-reaming" the nib.

I must be lucky. I use primarily (and lots of) TiGold, BlackTi, and Platinum with some Black Chrome and Satin Nickel (from before I knew the plating differences).

I hope it was just one "run" then - maybe my kits this year won't have that problem!!!

Last year it was a genuine PAIN!!!!! Dozens of them did not work!!!!

I made 21 platinum cigars in December that needed the extra nib end reaming to accommodate the Parker gels. (The customer loved Ed's Dawn's orange-gold PR.)

That explains a problem I've been having when I try to use gel cartridges in the 8 mm PKMONT-PAR kit from PSI. I like that kit and prefer the Parker point to the Cross style, but when I put a gel in it, it doesn't open and close smoothly. It's apparently sticking as a result of the larger size. (It is fractionally longer too.)
