Just got off of the phone with Corona cigar, to be able to laser cigar engrave cigars, you have to license it from the patent holder and they are no longer licensing the process.
Phooey. I actually wanted to get some cigars laser engraved for someone. Now I have to find a new engraver and see what they charge. Corona was very reasonable and they would use any cigar you wanted, some of the places I'm finding right now will only engrave their unknown house brand cigars. Just lovely. If I wanted an engraved dog turd, I'd pick one up off the lawn and engrave it with a pen knife and save a few bucks.
