Wood Veneer Zig Zag Pencil

Postby David Regal » May 6th, 2022, 8:34 am

Does anyone know who made this? It was a classic Tenyo (not a knock off) Zig Zag Cigarette to which an able craftsman applied thin wood veneer, and switched the cigarette for a pencil. It looked great - like it was made of wood.

I owned one and this morning I accidentally knocked it off a shelf - it smashed. I am in mourning. I really liked that thing. Does anyone have one that they'd sell me?

I hate myself.

I have never seen one either.

Tenyo Elite put out a wood version of that prop. Could what you have be one of those?

Noooooooooo. This was LONG before Tenyo Elite. A guy applied wood veneer to a plastic Tenyo Zig Zag Cigarette. It was a thing of beauty. Perfect. And today I accidentally destroyed it.

The mystery has been solved. The wood veneer Zig Zag Cigarette (Pencil) was the work of the talented Mark Teufel. I have engaged him to make me a new one, and I am a happy boy.
