This cigar holder/divot tool is made from Cocobolo (Dalbergia retusa), a beautiful and dense wood in the Rosewood family. It has a specific gravity of .9-1.1 which makes it a member of the ironwood class. Cocobolo is a naturally oily wood and like all rosewoods gives off a sweet smell when worked, hence the family name. It's a particularly beautiful wood with an alternating grain of red and black, often in very wavy patterns.
This is a relatively large tool, just under3" long and 1" wide. The cigar cradle is a generous 1" in length and just under 3/4" in width. Depth is 3/16". It will easily hold a 60 ring gauge cigar. Weight is 8.9 grams. Beautifully finished in Teak Oil and buffed with pure Carnuba Wax.
