Take a guess
Hope they sell well for you Neil, a little too much bling on the kits for my taste, but certainly nothing wrong with your workmanship:claps:

Like the whole batch, do like this kit it is different and eye catching things punters crave since the majority of rapid buyers are woman I predict sales will be brisk.

Very well turned and presented Neil, i stopped buying the cigar kits a long time ago and sold the few kits that i never used, i only ever sold one finished Cigar pen, and found it hard to give them away ... :goesred: Good luck with the sales my friend. :thumbs:

A fine set of pens Neil. I like the kit for the fact that I think they'd sell. I wouldn't buy one for myself but one thing I've learned, is that not everyone has the same taste as me... Why? It would make life so much easier.

I never liked the cigar as a kit but used to make them as a one piece which to my mind made them more of a proper pen.
I still have a few old kits floating somewhere which will probably never get completed.
Likewise I stopped buying them as with most kits.
I played at Neils house with one of these kits he had made and asked my opinion.
In the flesh i had to say they have much improved and of the cigar kits available this is the one I could see being the best seller for him.
Who am I just another punter init?
Go for it Neil you won't know unless you try mate, good luck with it, I like to see people do well and wish you all the best with em init?
