Let's see your cigar box pen cases

[penwash]

Alright, now that we are all coming out of the woodwork and start to get some traffic going, let's do something fun.

Since I've discovered that cigar box can be converted into pen box or case or display, it has been a secret mini-fascination of mine.

This is my latest cigar box pen case:



I love this box and coincidentally, the initial of the company is RP just like Redeem Pens

Show me yours and tell us something about it.

Where to get the black liner?

Where to get the black liner?

I purchased those from Michelle of Pendora, whom I don't believe is in business anymore. At one point she was clearing out her pen supplies and inventory - I'll see if I can find contact and check if anything is left.

Jon, I'd be interested in black or other colors also if you managed to contact them. My supply of the beige one is almost gone.

Pardon me while I wipe the drool from my keyboard.... beautiful fountain pens in even "beautifuler" repurposed cigar pen boxes. I only have one box, a 6-pen box I bought online from BamaPen's Pen Boxes about five or six years ago. Simple but classy. Seeing what you've posted makes me want another - I certainly have enough pens! Might even try my hand at buying an empty box and customizing it myself.

The way I make a cigar box pen case is to just take the cigars out of it and pour in the pens. If I put liners in, I wouldn't be able to find what I wanted, sorting through all the boxes.

I've made quite a number of cigar box pen boxes since Northern Gentleman bought one from me years ago. If you are interested (shameless plug), click this link to visit my site: Cigar Box Pen Storage

I think I've seen your website once long time ago. Glad you decided to join us here.

And now you're tempting me with the tall vertical pen boxes, I have never seen one of those.

Do you also work on existing boxes? Let's say I found a cool one, can I send it to you to put a liner in?

The tall boxes are really fun to do, and you get a lot of pens, stored nib up, in a small footprint. And, yes, I have on occasion fixed up a box that someone provided. In fact I just finished such a thing this afternoon. If you are interested, let me know what you have first. You can contact me at BamaPen@jehubbard.com

That is what the home-school kids say when they go to their first dance.

Actually, though, the pens are fine in there as long as you don't shake the box.

Here's a pretty one. I added some vintage map artwork inside the lid:

Very tempted by the tall boxes on your website. Man, you have started something!

Slightly unrelated, but... with my supply of boxes on hand, I decided to make a holder for something new I want to get into: artistic forays. This contains some basic sketching and watercolor bits, and I added an image to the box interior (as well as duding up a Curnow notepad):

So... so ... so, we are going to see some watercolor paintings from you?

Okay, now I need to purchase a box of cigars.

I'm definitely not going to do that in order to get a cigar box to make into a pen case.

One would be really nice though. Maybe I could get rid of the cigars somehow?

Apparently they burn well

You can buy empty cigar boxes at cigar stores or on eBay.
