Olmsted Cigar Ballpoint Pen Kits
Craft a beautifully balanced everyday writer with the Olmsted Cigar Ballpoint Pen Kit. This refined kit delivers a slimmer take on the classic Cigar profile — comfortable in hand for both men and women, with a shape that suits daily use and a look that turns heads. Finished with elegant black tapered accent bands and a sophisticated roller-style clip, the Olmsted carries a quiet, executive elegance that pairs beautifully with any blank material.
What truly sets the Olmsted apart is its high-end double twist mechanism. Unlike simpler twist designs, the double twist delivers a smooth, satisfying action that feels premium every time you extend the point. The kit also includes a Parker-style ballpoint refill right out of the box — and since it accepts Parker-compatible gel refills, you can easily upgrade to an even smoother writing experience.
Features
Slimmer Cigar Profile: A refined, narrower take on the classic Cigar shape — well-balanced and comfortable for extended writing sessions.
Elegant Black Tapered Accent Bands: Sophisticated banding adds a dressy, finished look that elevates any blank.
Roller-Style Clip: Smooth-action roller clip makes it easy to attach to a pocket or notebook without snagging.
High-End Double Twist Mechanism: Extends and retracts the ballpoint tip with a satisfying, precision two-stage twist action.
Parker-Style Refill Included: Comes ready to write with a Parker-compatible ballpoint refill — and accepts gel refills for a smoother feel.
Versatile Blank Compatibility: Works beautifully with wood, acrylic, resin, antler, and other popular 3/4" pen blank materials.
Giftable Appeal: The polished cigar silhouette and refined hardware make this a go-to choice for custom gift pens.
Available in Multiple Platings: Choose the finish that best complements your blank material from the selector above.

Black accent bands let the blank do the talking, making color-forward materials pop without hardware competition.
Comes with a refill already included, so there's zero extra cost to get this pen writing straight from the lathe.
The refined double twist mechanism gives a premium feel that customers notice — great for pens you plan to sell or give.
