Some of these look really good: http://www.cigarreplicapens.com/main.html
BTW, this is not my company or product--it was advertised on Facebook--and I am not endorsing it. Just pointing it out. (I "endorse" so many products on here, I wanted to make that clear. So far, though, no endorsement deals....)
Those are definitely well done.
I really like the idea but $150 is a bit steep. Although they do look really nice.

The temptation all day at work would kill me if if I had one of these. I would be like a crazy man at then end of the day to get to my cigars! Wife would NOT like that I ran by her to get to my den for my smokes when I came home! :-(
I ran across that a bit ago, looks pretty cool, maybe I'll drop a hint near Boss' day!
:biggrin:
Wow! they look really nice.
Nice pens. Back in the day I had a twin flame lighter that looked like a Cohiba Stogie.
Those are cool looking. I don't see ever paying that much for a pen though.
That's the gift for the guy that has everything. Wish I could afford one!
I would be chewing on it all day if I had one. Would keep thinking it was real then the disappointment would set in once I tasted the plastic.
Why in the world would I want a cigar lighter when I already have one shaped like a trout???? :confused:
Very tastefully made, but a little steep for a pen I wouldn't use daily

First to mind: "Is that a trout in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
(sorry 'bout that) :crazy: :lmao: :crazy:

Looking at this site gives me some ideas. I turn pens on my lathe and might be able to make some of these. I have a project for the weekend now to see if I can get the label on the pen and get it finished correctly. I learned a new way to finish the pens so I think this can be done with relative ease.
Pretty cool!.
Yup they are nice however something about their website smells wrong to me. I will not do business with any website I cannot contact by phone or a legit address so I can research the company. Even if they say they are using their own bands I still believe they are using another companies logo most likely without permission. :shades:
Here's the new home page: http://www.cigarreplicapens.com/main_2.html
I turn a lot of pens but it never crossed my mind to add a label. I didn't check the web prices but pen kits at woodcraft are very reasonable. As much as I'd like people to believe that my pens take alot of time and skill, most of them do not. I can crank out Slimline or Euro pens in under 20 mins, from start to finish. The finish process usually takes just as long as the actual turning and can also be done directly on the lathe.
If I can figure out how to add the label and put a nice finish on top, maybe I'll make a few and post some pics. The finish I use now is a mix of SuperGlue (CA glue) and boiled linseed oil & friction which would surely mess up the label. Maybe I'll try just some poly or lacquer..............

Don't know for sure but a polymer finish for fishing rod building would proubably work very well and is relatively cheap.
You also could use automotive clearcoat for this if you wanted.
A lot of you Geeks have an uncanny facination for cylindrical objects. Just sayin'. :shades:
I never heard Freud say "Sometimes a pen is just a pen." Just sayin'. :biggrin:
I have a couple of cigar pens. They don't have any real brand name associated with them, but they do look fairly real.

The endorsement "or not" must have been a success Corey. The site is now gone!! :confused:
