Rocky Patel Indian Tabac Sierra Ballpoint
I start with real tobacco leaf wrapper. I cut the veins out and hand-rolled the background just like making a cigar. The band is then glued to the leaf and the blank is sealed and cast in a polyester resin. After curing for a few days I hand turn each one on a wood lathe. I then polish and assemble the pen parts.
The Sierra is a nice everyday pen with a great balance. It twists to open and close with a locking action for left-hand users to prevent retracting. It takes a Parker™ or Visconti™ ballpoint or gel refill. This one is in a gold & black chrome finish.
The Cigar pen is a larger and a little heavier pen. For right or left-handed use, it twists R or L to open and center to close. It takes a Parker™ or Visconti™ ballpoint or gel refill. This one is in a gold & black chrome finish.
The Terta stylus pen has a woven microfiber stylus. For right or left-handed use, it twists R or L to open and center to close. It takes a Parker™ or Visconti™ ballpoint or gel refill. This one is in a gold & gunmetal finish.
The Standard fountain pen is styled after the 1920's Parker™ Duofold. The cap screws on to post as well as to re-cap. To index the nib to the clip when posting you start with the nib up and the clip at the 6 o'clock position. When the nib and clip align the pattern will line up. This one is made with a Indian Tabac band in a gold finish.
The New Style can be made as a fountain pen or rollerball. It is similar to the Standard fountain pen with a more modern look. The cap screws on to post as well as to re-cap.

The Virage style has a roller on the clip styled after the 1920's Wahl-Eversharp. The cap screws on to post as well as to re-cap. To index the nib to the clip when posting you start with the nib up and the clip at the 8 o'clock position. When the nib and clip align the pattern will line up.

The Havana rollerball is a cap style pen. The cap screws on to post as well as to re-cap. It is a little heavier than most rollerball pens. The pen has straight threads so the pattern will always line up when posting. It takes a standard rollerball refill like the Schmidt® 888 and will use the Pilot® G2 gel refill. This one is made with a Maximus band in a chrome finish.
The Havana fountain pen is a short but fat pen. These dynamics shifts the center of gravity giving a unique balance. Writing with it is like the pen is an extension of your hand.
