Antler Cigar

[MarkHix]

Thought I would try some antler as gifts. This is the first cigar I have tried in antler. CA finish. My apologies for the photographer. <s>I</s> He needs some work on his skills. The stories of the smell don't even come close. This was harvested in 1978 around Sonora, Tx.

I really like the stark contrast between the black chrome and the white antler. Very striking.

Thats a nice pen. What kind of antler is it. Theres not a lot of color variation which is ok. There are two types of antler customers, those that like the ivory and those that like the color that comes from the marrow line. They look real good in a cigar. If you turn enough of em you get used to the smell. loml still can't stand it but to me it smells kind of like MONEY. My antler pens have always been a staple for the shop. They are really nice in an Ultra cigar should you have a kit.

Awesome pen, I had to wear a respirator when I turned mine. Just didn't like the smell that much.

The worse thing about antler is being in the same zip code while it is being worked on. Once you get a whiff of that nastiness, it stays with you.

Thanks for looking. It is whitetail. I don't have respirator but I do have a 2 car-ventalator system w/a fan. Maybe that's why the neighbors didn't come over!

I like your antler in the black cigar, they work well together!
