Color Multiple shaded brown celluloid over a glass barreled piston filler. The pen is meant to look like cured tobacco. From a distance the pen looks much like a cigar and it has a sterling tobacco leaf clip and is stamped, "1997 Cigar" at the end of the pen where a cigar's maker's mark would be.

Condition Near mint condition. No scratches or marks. This is number 556 of the 2500 pens that were made in this limited edition. This is a heavy pen with a removable filling system. The piston is a little bit stiff and the stamp at the end of the pen is slightly worn. The patina on the sterling clip is even and looks good though it can of course be polished further.
