Why Turners Love This Kit

The Big Ben Cigar is a pen turning staple for good reason: it’s weighty, impressive in the hand, and the dual-tube design lets you pair two contrasting blanks for a truly custom look. The minimal part count makes it approachable for beginners, while the hex cap detail and variety of two-tone plating choices give experienced turners plenty to work with. It’s a gift-ready pen that looks like it costs far more than it does.
