Two new "Martin Cigars"

[Halfcaff]

I made these today. They are both out of walnut. Big thanks to Peter for the La Gloria band. The CAO band was from last night. I am going to have to make quite a few more because my local cigar shop wants some. I converted the cigar box to a cigar pen box for presentation of the pens.

Thanks for looking. Let me know what you think

WOW! Those are sooooo cool! I'm jealous ~ I have really got to learn how to make closed end pens like that......(no really!)

Well done,
Tim

Very Cool!!

What did you use as a satin or dull finish?

I'm making one right now and I've coated the base with medium CA which I'm planning to sand down with 600 wet and maybe a couple of the MM pads wet and see if it provides a good dull finish that's durable.

What did you use as a satin or dull finish?

I used CA as well just as usual but instead of going all the way through the micromesh I stopped after the first two. It gave a nice satin finish but should hold up to everyday use.

Those are really cool! You did a fantastic job! I have to try to make one of these cigar pens.

They are both churchills. I think they work the best. Thanks for the comments everyone. These are so much fun to make.

Very cool pens. Great job. I make them all the time and can't do better than that.

Love to see a Fuente Opus X done up like this. Even better if you can give em the Spanish Cedar aroma!!

Yeah I would too but I have a hard time justifying around $20 for one cigar. At least that is what it is at my local cigar shop.

I had them in my humidor with my real cigars to pick up the smell but I took them out because I was afraid the 70% humidity would mess up the wood or the finish. The box in the picture is made out of Spanish cedar. Even though I covered it in velvet the smell still comes through!
