This is called a cigar pen for a reason; it's thick like a cigar! It is a ballpoint, twist to open pen. This pen was hand turned on the lathe. It uses parker style refills. These can be found at any office store, online, or right HERE.
This Cigar Pen is made of polymer clay and shaped into scales, covered with mica powder, and then is put in a mold with resin and turned down to size on the wood lathe. Due to this process, it has the specialty pricing ($5 more than the regular cigar pen). You are still getting the better end of the deal!
