I actually do have a collection of fountain pens and inks... might be time to add a new one!
I recently got a Montblanc fountain pen as a gift for Christmas (I think it's fake). If I can find a few cigar fountain pens, then I'll definitely buy 1 or 2, as I'd like to have a few nice pens to carry around.
That is all I saw as well @deadman, and it looks like they do custom orders which is cool.
@Diver43 - what are some of your favorites? Lately I have bought a few from karas kustoms. I have one of their Boly V2 ballpoints machined from solid brass and solid copper, an ink fountain, and their special decograph with a titanium nib they just released. http://karaskustoms.com/signature-pens/decograph-ultra-black.html
I have a few cheaper ones and one from a local shop (also handmade) but always dreading the day another catches my eye
Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular.
I used to collect fountain pens, did so for years. Lost over $15,000 worth during the tornado. A bunch were looted. There is something reminiscent of a more gentlemanly and honest times when using a fountain pen, and every once in awhile I pick one up to remind me. Shame of it is, today kids can't even talk in complete sentences much less pen one.
Better to do a search for "pens that look like cigars" then cigar pens. There is a style of pens that are called cigar pens that other then shape have nothing to do with cigars.

Well said
Sorry to hear of your loss of pens. Looters are the lowest level of scum.

I have a few entry-level fountain pens and ink, but haven't kept up with using them. It's amazing how much easier it is to write with a fountain pen than a ballpoint pen, at least for me.
I'll gladly bomb you Tuesday for an Opus today.

At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...
From one of the comments on the facebook page, they are made from pen kits.
Not quite an original from Mont Blanc or Montegrappa
