Custom Cigar cases
 

Well, a few people inquired about the cigar cases I make,
I'm starting to make them again, It's been a while.
The one here is the case I use, it's a few years old and quite simple.
I also do the slip top type.
Tooling options are many as well as old west floral carving and basket weave.
I haven't made many in while ... What do you all think ..
Should I put them on my web site ?? I'll post more as I make a few. :cb

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

that is a great idea for 2 reasons.

1. people always want something custom handmade that's different from what everyone else has.

2. Yours are much better looking an unique, and can be made to size (i assume)

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

Nice looking work !!

Re: Custom Cigar cases

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

That's pretty cool!

Let us know about prices and sizes(like the rest said)

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

Yes. Put them on your website. That case looks really cool. :2

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

That looks great, I would love to see some of the options.

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

Yes, please do... Nice looking case for sure!

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

Nice work! Gotta like something that's custom made. :tu

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

Looks great Jeff. One question, is the inside smooth or the rough leather?

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

Absolutely Jeff! Any idea on a rough price range? Would definitely be interested.

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

Jeff I always figured you were a talented guy. What else can you expect from a former Marine who lives in the mountains. Beautiful work!!

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

Thanks for the positve comments everyone!
To answer a few questions ... I make them in several sizes based on RG and cigar length, PC, Corona, Robusto ...Ect.
They are made out of Oak tanned skirting leather split to about 4oz
The inside is "rough" leather, BUT do to the splitting and the fact that I rub out the back side it's actually quite smooth.
Prices work out from between $30. for a simple one like mine, $35. for a basket weave or cross hatch and $55. for floral carving
Those prices include shipping in the US
A Calf lining could be added to the case on request, it would add about $10. to the total cost.
I'm working my butt off on several more today to try and get mor examples posted ...And due to the fact that my web site was Built, and is maintained by ME ... And ME has four saddles in repair and 12 custom gun rigs on the bench ... I'm Waaaay behind on getting the site updated.

Glad your busy Jeff!

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

Now that's some cool handmade stuff right-there. I'll keep a close eye on this thread.

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

Sahhhhweeeeet! I'm saving what I would be spending on S-CHIP for one of these!

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

Ok, Maybe THIS link to my site will work! ... http://www.mountainhomeleather.com

Also... Let me know if the pricing seems ok, I need that input as well.
It's been a while since I made many of these and I need to know if my pricing is in line.
Thanks for your input !

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

The pricing seems very fair as the ones from Xikar are, iirc, around the same price or a bit more expensive than the price you gave for the simpler designs.

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

Nice work there :tu

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

Ok, I've been tinkering around with this style, It's the "Texas" style.
A few different patterns here.

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

A screen name would a nice touch :)

They look awesome Jeff!

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

Very nice leather work :cb

Re: Custom Cigar cases
 

I would think the prices are more than fair when you consider it's hand made right here in the USA by one of our own.

I for one would expect to pay a higher price for one crafted in such a way.

Watching my mail box. :)
