Ed,

Made this one a couple of months ago.
Comes out about the same size as the filagree. Quite big, heavyish but easy to turn. The next ones I do will be in wood.

Ed, they are cigar kits with upgraded accents. Tubes and bushes are interchangeable with the standard cigar.

Rowdy, what's up with the clip on that pen? Looks bent ... :nooidea:

My advice would be to stay away from them the kits are crap I purchased 10 of them some time ago but I wont sell them because the quality is sub standard they all just collect dust now in my wood collection but that is just my opinion they look nice but it ends there some of them dont work David is right they are just a glorified cigar pen and I dont like them sorry about the photo but I'm in a bit of a rush got to go out soon to the stall

Thanks chaps. After what you say maybe a rethink is in order as the majority of Cigars that I have made have knackered twist mechanisms.

Shame that as the pen of Rowdy's looks very nice indeed .. But if Woody says stay away from them then that is good enough for me ... :whistling:
