STICKMAN,
Henry's "Original" sets are always available to CS members. We limit eBay sales to once per month, thereby accepting ****** payments trhough their service.

Individual orders (for the time being) are limited to our P.O, box, checks/MOs, and the implicit bond of trust & faith in fellow CS members. Please PM us if you wish to order.

And PLEASE keep in mind that Henry's Tool Sets are NOT for everyone, nor are they intended to be a "fool-proof" solution to cigar plugs and draw problems. They ARE what they say they are: A way to enhance and improve your cigar-smoking experience;

PERIOD.

Thanks again!

Steve & Cindi (& Henry)

HOWEVER... Our FIRST concern is that you received your set of Henry's "Original" Tools!!! Cindi confirmed that they were sent last Friday via USPS First Class. There's NO WAY you shouldn't have received them by now!

We'll PM you tonight. If you haven't received your set, a package will go out in the morning. PERIOD.

Henry would get really pissed off if we screwed up on delivering his product. And the LAST thing I need is for Henry to be pissed when we fetch him from the hospital tomorrow! BELEIVE me... "Hell hath no fury like a pissed-off Henry!"

We'll make it right, brother

Steve & Cindi (& Henry)

JAMIE,

The Special Edition sets are functionally identical to the Original sets. Differences in the SE sets are:
-- Polished, high-nickel steel shafts
-- Oak handles
-- Recipient's initials embossed in the handles
-- Issue number (1 to 50) burned into the handle butts
-- Certificate of authenticity, signed by Henry
-- Presentation in a gift box

The Special Edition sets will be priced near $20 + S/H, though we will not nail down the price until we present photos of the finished product to CS BOTLs/SOTLs.

Only 50 Special Edition sets will be crafted in 2006. Because the embossments and final protective coats of varnish will require a few days of Henry's time, shipment of the SE sets will occur approximately 5 days after payment is received.

Please understand the the Special Edition sets are something of an extravagance, offered to those who've already used and appreciate Henry's Original tool sets. If you're looking purely for "function," Henry's Original Tool Sets are, by far, the best way to go!

Here's where we stand on reservations for the Special Edition sets as of this morning:

#1: Dr. Stogie Fresh (gratis)
#2: Dr. Stogie Fresh (Dave)
#3: Moglman (Scott)
#4: Caskwith (Chris)
#5: PDS
#6: Ron1YY
#7 Moosie (Eric)
#8 & #9: Blake Lockhart (Dave)
#10: dartsinsa
#11: trogdor (Marc)
#12: tech-ninja (Stewart)
#13: Bigwaved
#14: RPB67
#15: wolfan
#16: scotth
#17: Guitarman-S.T-
#18: SUOrangeGuy
#19: croatan
#20: hdroadking
#21: puffmtd

Reservations are NOT binding agreements. They are simply a way for us to keep track and report back to those who may wish to have a set before the Holidays.

Incidentally... We're picking Henry up when he's released from the hospital late this afternoon. I asked him if there was anything he'd like us to bring.

His response? "A beer and one of those Padrons."

Ahh well... Onward and Foreward!!!

Henry gave me the first (#01) set of Special editions tonight.

It bears the letters "DOC," and it's for DR. Stogie Fresh. And I will post photos of Dave's tools tomorrow night.

If you're looking for "picture-perfect" embossment of the initials, look elsewhere! These are hand-hammered tools, and no two are alike. Henry doesn't care much for folks who put stuff under a microscope... He figures that good cigars and good microscopes don't have much in common.

I pretty-much agree.

I'm on an accessories kick. Sign me up for a set.

I've smoked 4 decent cigars in my life but from all the good things I've been hearing about these tools, they should probably be required for any semi-serious cigar smoker. Put me down for a set please.

Mason,

You're in.

But Henry would prefer that you think of his tool sets more as "necessities" than "accessories." I think you'll see why once you've used them for awhile.

Thanks!

[RockyP]

just want to make sure that you put me down for a SE set. thanks

LesIsMore,

You're in.

We stand behind the "guarantee" that Henry has insisted upon... If the tool set doesn't pay for itself, return it. We'll refund the purchase price plus return postage, no questions asked.

As I've said before... I still have three sets of Henry's Original tools, and there's NO WAY I would part with them.

We LIKE to think that when we pay five bucks for a good stick, we'll get a perfect draw. Unfortunately, that's just not the case. Henry's tools are made for "correcting" or "adjusting" the draw to suit your preference.

An updated reservation list appears below... But first, another "Henryism":
"If you don't have the time to treat a cigar right, go suck an egg!!"
