Try Ernie at Beartoothwoods.com. That sure looks like a Berea Flat Top gun metal or Black TI. Ernie did carry them.
Edit
NOPE! not the Flat top or the Flat top 2000. The clip is different. Ernie didn't have the Flat but Arizona did. The end of the clip is just different.

I don't care who carries it, the pen not just the kit looks darn good.

What's different about it?
I have the rollerball kit, and it looks like what you picture.
ETA: Now I think I see. You might call PSI and ask if that's just a promo picture, or if the actual pen looks like that.

Timberbits sells them, under the name of (Cigar Americana)

It looks like a Cigar fountain, but i could not find one with the exact same features - the clip is different for one thing. Timberbits Cigar Americana fountain is very close, but then again the clip is different and this plating combination is not available...
I too am curious to know where this kit can be found - i like it a lot!

I have ordered/made several of these from PSI. Mine look identical to the picture.

Timberbits Cigar Americana is different. For one thing the clip is not the same, and it is a very small pen. Almost like a purse/pocket pen.
The only ones I know of who make a Cigar in rollerball/fountain pen are PSI with their Big Ben. I really think it's closest to the Classic Elite 2, but that it's possible that there have been either some changes to the component set (either by PSI, or the producer of the pen), or that the pic used by PSI may be somewhat inaccurate.
Here's the latest Big Ben rollerball.

Sorry about the bad pic (trying to get it up fast).

When I first saw it my thought was "its neat how he pieced that together from different component sets". Could be wrong but I still think that. Are you pulling our leg Turbowagon?

I've done some digging trying to find this exact kit (without luck) but did stumble across the original picture location [here], it looks like it was made by Shaw Pens Home

Look at shawpens.com. It looks similar to a couple that Alan (a member here, I think his user id is ashaw) makes. I know Alan was planning to go to the Atlanta Pen Show, but I didn't get over to see him.
Might be worth a PM?

Yep! That sneakie Alan! I thought I was the only one to mix 'em up like that
But usually when I do it, I didn't mean to

It's a perfect match and the metal threads look better than the black ones. I think Alan is on to something!
Nice detective work, Seamus!

maybe a goof in the pic that Seamus linked, as here is the rollerball version that looks like a perfect match.
