Turning a Cigar Case

Oct 25, 2024

Mike Nish turns a Cigar Case kit our of Figured Maple. He explains what he's learned after turning several of them to make sure you're successful on your first time with this project. Learn how to drill the blank, glue the tubes, and turn the wood to a final size.

He also includes his tips for dyeing the wood and applying a wood finish.

This great looking cigar case features solid brass chrome plated components with a built-in punch cutter. Designed to fit up to a 52 gauge cigar, O-rings provide an airtight seal to maintain ambient humidity so your prized cigar stays fresher longer.
