Recommendations for cigar style pens?

[Avenir1122]

Just to preface, I enjoy pens a bit on the larger side. Having gotten my hands on pens like an old vintage Sheaffer Balance and a Jinhao 159, I've really started to move towards pens that are in the shape of cigars. However some of them are just a bit pricy, and not that many fountain pens that are under 100~ dollars come in a decent size like what I'm looking for. Something that's both a cigar, and has something like half an inch in diameter or more.

Can anyone give some possible recommendations, either new or vintage which might be for me? I don't really care for much for the nib or whatever the filling system is as long as it fits well in my hand and writes smooth.

Check out Guider pens (eyedropper pens). Really good value and quite large. I've a few of them Handmade in India.
Fountain Pen revolution imports them from india.

Ranga makes a really fine cigar style pen. They even come with Jowo or Schmidt nibs. Can be purchased on eBay, but I like to find them on Fountain Pen Network!

Nice size. They require some tuning to write well.

+1 as long as you can handle the famous noodlers resin smell.

I don’t know if it would count for what you’re looking for but I’ve greatly enjoyed my inexpensive Pilot Metro (cartridge loaded).

While I agree with the writing performance of Pilot Metropolitan, it hits above it's weight (cost), I think OP needs a good sized pen to hold and for that I can definitely recommend Ranga pens.

Ebonite and acrylic is used.
You can browse at peytonstreetpens for better idea.
Also, most of the pens cost under the 100$ mark.

I have a few:

1. Montblanc 149
2. Aurora 88
3. Omas 557-S

The above are high end pens, they are not cheep, if looking for a cheaper cigar sized pen, you could take a look at the Leonardo Furtore with a steel nib.
