The blank is home-made. The kit is the black titanium cigar. Finish is mm to 12000, brasso and carnauba wax. Not a durable finish, I know, but this one is for my wife and I can buff it when it needs it.
Fire away.

Thanks, Mike.
The blank is mix of sculpting clay and resin that I am experimenting with. I tried using just clay, but the result was a bit soft. This one seems to be about right, I think. I'm still playing with the baking time and temp, too. If I can get it down to something that is consistently good, the colour possibilities are endless.
