Not sure where to post this, but figured since it has pictures of pens I would do it in show off your pens.
I bet I've made well over 100 cigar kit pens in the last couple months and am sick sick sick sick sick of them. I have been looking for pen kits to put into my line of pens that are easier to make. Not that the cigar pen is hard, it's just two barrels so I keep searching for a single barrel pen with some heft to it. (my market is 99 percent men so the areo and such don't work). This past few days I made some, Zen's, Electra's and a couple of the new vertex magnetic pen.
I am up to over 100 unique hits a week on my web site and now have sold 11 pens. I have redone my site (again, sigh) to try and make it more shopper friendly and am going to start posting up product this week end.
I figure i can make a cigar pen kit in probably 45 minutes. the Electra kit has some issues in that you have to assemble the cap, which is five pieces, but I still think it is faster than the cigar. The Zen and the Vertex are a breeze to make and assemble.
give me some feedback if you will on what you think of the pens, the kit hardware and how well they go with my cigar theme. Also, recognizing it is not quite complete, take a look at my new web site layout and tell me what you think as well. www.cigarreplicapens.com.
I must confess I 'borrowed' bella-penna's naming style and am going to name each pen model after some cigar term. I have an ad running in a cigar magazine in mid November and want to get a lot of pens on the site before it runs.
As always thanks for helping me. I know I am a bother, but if I can ever be of any assistance to anyone please just ask.
The first pic is just a side by side of two of each of the three kits. What do you think of the bulge in the first Zen? Is it too much (did it to show off the band and go for a more masculine feel) or do you like it.
The second pic is six electra's. What do you think of them. Do they look nice? Would you buy one or do you think they look like hooey.
The third pci is just a close up of two of the PSI vertex. These two are brushed chrome. I have a couple of chrome kits to make and I think they will look better. Up close the brushed looks cheap, but what do you think?
The last pic is an array of these new pen styles next to one of my plain cigar pen kit pens. the cigar kit still looks sharp, particularly the chrome upgrade kit on this one. Do you think the others could compete or would be as well received?
I know that is a lot to ask of everyone that is nice enough to read another of my lengthy posts, but jump on a plane or get in a car and come over and I will feed you and provide you with beer, lol.
Thanks.
