Cigar Pen Kits
Craft a pen that writes as good as it looks with the Cigar Pen Kit. Built around a single-action twist mechanism and a hex accent cap, this classic ballpoint delivers a substantial, hand-filling feel that serious writers and gift-givers reach for again and again. With over 30 plating finishes — from Chrome and Gold to Blue Titanium and Rhodium — there's a Cigar kit for every style and every blank in your shop.
What truly sets the Cigar apart is its Parker-style refill compatibility. A smooth-writing Parker refill ships right in the kit, and a quick upgrade to the Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 turns it into one of the finest writing ballpoints you can make on a lathe. The 10mm dual brass tube design gives the barrel plenty of girth to showcase figured wood, resin, or antler blanks at their absolute best.
