Cigar Molds Thread

That doesn't list offer accepted, as in the price.

True. It's a private thing.

 

[Marc L]

Why wouldn't you just start at $10 and work your way up?

Choices can be a bitch.

 

[keithjjones]

You don't want to make a ridiculous offensive offer. Be fair.

Lol. That's good to know. As a new hobbiest seller I'm interested in how this works. I haven't tried eBay because it's not very conducive to custom made stuff.

This morning I coated my Keith Mold with hot beeswax mineral oil mixture
Cannot wait until trying it out tomorrow.

Shit was I supposed to coat it. I was worried about it after your deal with the cutting board stuff so I just started rolling right away last night.

 

[Dominican56]

I offered 60 each. I thought that a fair price. Who knows, he might have taken 45. I'm happy at 60

Fwiw, I don't coat mine. I don't mind the natural tobacco stain. I also don't coat ones I ship out or sand too much, as it gives you some choice of how you'd like to modify yours, if you wanted.

please, Would you tell me what do you think a good lot offer as a percentage would be in general?

No problem. I coated my 60 year old molds and am happy with the results.

 

[Dominican56]

At first I thought I ruined the old ones. Marc suggested I let them sit a while for the oil to absorb. He is right.

60 which is 1/2 of a new mold cost in plastic is totally fair. My question was more aimed at if the dude is just trying to get rid of junk in his garage, why over pay for that scenario? It's a crap shoot. But it's nice to have obo on eBay. eBay has really slid from a good deal auction site to a buy it now mega store, in my opinion. I barely look there for stuff anymore because I can just do Amazon at that point, with much more confidence I can get my money back if something doesn't come right.

 

[Dominican56]

Agreed. In the case of the molds I suspect he got them from a small factory because he has quite a few of them. The ones I got from him are in great shape.

 

[Dominican56]

I don't know why that would be. There a lot of custom cutting boards listed. I bought one a couple of weeks ago.

Give it a try. You can always stop selling there if it's not working for you.

Toss him an offer. You haven't anything to lose

Do you get to pick your specs there? If you look in my Etsy listing you have drop down for sizes.

I've already made those sizes for myself. Plus, both ring gauges are a bit too big for my tastes. Lots of experimentation to figure that out. I like 50 and under except when it comes to Salomon, because it tapers.

Sweet ok. No I don't mind the stains either. It's so cool.
I had to go check on em

Also the perfectos looked pretty happy



Your molds are awesome keith.

Even the salomon I thought was too short is gonna turn out to be a fine smoke. I could test the draw on that one it is fantastic at this point. I am pleasantly surprised since this is so different.

The nice thing about printed molds is no stains, if that's something important to you.

Thanks for your kind words.

Keith makes fantastic cigar molds!

I might need one of those perfecto molds. They are cool.

You certainly don't have to coat the wood. It simply makes a nice finish on it.
I like to show it off when people come over... like today.

What kind of oil and stuff do you put on it? I want to experiment with it a little.
