Very cute. Almost looks like it was made from a lipstick pen kit. That said, what lady would put a lit cigar in her purse?

This one is not cut and no ash, so not lit.
And yes, it is a lipstick kit....good eye!

Cool! That will come in pretty handy for the ladies. Like the awesome finish. Great job!

That's a good one Dale!!
Perhaps making the join at the top of the label just before the taper starts would allow you to have a better or more comfortable grip. Let the nib be inside the tapered end.

It's a "Mini Me" Pen....
Still pretty cool.

Possibly, but the label would need to be down further as the end needs to be long enough to house the tapered pen end. It would be a rather tight fit and would be difficult to turn and finish.
Actually, I goofed on this one somewhat, not that anyone would notice. The writing end was supposed to be in the other half but I made a mistake when I cut one of the indents. There is typically no indent on the brass nib end. However, since the socket for the mini refill is pressed into the end of the brass tube before it is glued in, there was no way to change it so I made both halves with an indent.
If I ever make another I will hopefully remember and do it correctly!:biggrin:

Great looking pen. I currently have several NUBS in my humidor. They're not bad cigars. Not the best, but not the worst either.
