A New Cigar
Well this was gifted to me by John when I went to the Brisbane Timber & Working With Wood Expo. It was my first trip without dad, I lost him three years ago and when it came to things like wood shows he was my shadow. I decided that he wouldn't want me to miss out, so go I did, said g'day to Jim and he helped me spend my money lol. As I said John gave me this amazing copper hose cast in clear resin for cigar pens. It cut like butter and polished up very nice. Met up with Neil, and met NZ Carver for the first time, what a top young fellow. Well have a look and see what you think. I hope I did it justice John
