Beautiful selection of pens, NurseDave! What's your preferred size and style of nib?
I enjoy writing with a stub the most, but for work, I only use fine point. Other than that, I'm not picky. I buy more for the body of the pen.
Ya, my go-to are Olivas, but B Dave mentioned these are a great value. Have to say the first one I had was built much better than Factory Smokes. So I'll be switching over a drawer to these.Ye ole Quorum Maduro! I've been known to enjoy one from time to time, NurseDave. My friend from Canada calls them "dog walkers". He says they're not good enough to sit down and enjoy, but enjoyable enough to smoke while walking the dog and bagging turds.. I'm of the opinion that the best cigar is the cigar you're enjoying right now, regardless of price or label. Enjoy!

Oliva are fantastic. I'm with you about that, and especially Serie V. Very balanced, nice, even mouth feel, complexity of flavor that I enjoy.

Stubs are such fun! Given your profession, fine point makes lots of sense for workplace.

Enjoying a cigar from an old box in my personal collection. Davidoff Grand Cru no. 2 is one of my absolute all time favorites. Immaculate construction, balanced mouth feel, complex flavor. It hits all the right notes for me. Typically smoked with strongly brewed morning tea.
Finished up a handmade humidor for a client today. Curly and Quarter Sawn Movingui, Rosewood, and Gaboon Ebony Binding. Hand planed Spanish Cedar interior.
Cheers!

Pulled out my favorite, still obtainable stick today. Padron 1964 Imperiales Maduro from a box I bought in 2007. Whether aged or new, these are my ultimate cigars, bar none. I've got more "special" sticks than these, but none that I enjoy more.
Just finished up a traditional pipe stand for someone. I typically don't make traditional models, but this one was honestly a pleasure. Peruvian Walnut, Curly Maple, Gaboon Ebony, and Brazilian Rosewood.

Anything like the pipe tobacco version?
Not as good I’m sure
Long day and finally a night cap
