realistic cigarette

[KLJ]

Thanks to all who voted for this in the freestyle contest.
It is all holly wood. Finished with Renaissance wax so dirt and fingerprints wouldn't show. It uses the refill out of a teachers pen kit and the filter/cap is friction fit to the refill so it doesn't fall off. The ashes are buckeye burl that was carved with dremel and burned.

Thank you Mark for kind words.
I had made a cigar a few months ago because of the ones I saw posted here. I think I might post a picture of both in an ashtray together. I searched but could not find a cigarette so I thought it might be something to do for the freestyle contest. I don't smoke and wasn't going to buy one to get the dimensions so I borrowed one from a man, took a scrap piece of paper and marked the length, width, and where filter started. I later googled the dimensions and found out that they come in different sizes. It was fun and not hard to make.

Nice job, Keith. I don't smoke either, but it looked mighty realistic to me.
