Brazilian Cherry is a whole different animal from what you're used to - a richer reddish tone with a subdued but distinct grain. With a craft show coming up, I wanted something different to display, and this fit the bill perfectly. The chrome hardware makes for a nice contrast.

The Cigar is my all-time best seller -- a hefty ballpoint that uses the Parker T-Ball refill, which is available in fine, medium or gel. Given the size, you'd think this would be a "man's pen," but the truth is I've sold more to women than I have to men.

Because of the impressive look-and-feel, the moderate cost and the abundance of room for engraving, this is also my most popular choice for group orders, e.g. weddings, reunions, office gifts etc.
