Description

The object is to remove the band off the cigar.  Designed by Marcel Gillen and made by Bits and Pieces.

This puzzle is in its original packaging as Marcel presented it in the exchange at IPP23 in 2003.

It has been played with a couple of times and the cap of the cigar case is a bit dinged but it still screws on ok. The labelling is paper stuck to a cigar case but it’s in pretty good shape. Just a couple of crinkles from when it was originally glued I think.  You can see some wear on the ends of the cigar itself; maybe from playing but possibly from just being knocked around inside the metal cigar case too.

The photos are of the actual puzzle as it now looks.  The puzzle is machined aluminium.  Size: The cigar itself is 135mm long.

All prices in Australian Dollars (not US Dollars).  We much prefer payment via Wise because the charges are far less. But we can accept PayPal.

The puzzle will be shipped from Australia by Australia Post.

If we have other items listed and you buy more than one we’re happy to combine ship and quote postage based on weight.

Cost to ship this puzzle Standard:

Australia 10.00

NZ 21.00

US/Canada/EU/Asia  25.00

UK/Scandinavia 36.00

Other countries please request a quote.

Cover Up unusual assembly puzzle by George Sicherman

Ovolo 8 piece Yavuz Demirhan designed burr
Made for the Edward Hordern IPP36 in Kyoto, Japan. August 2016Designed by Laszlo Molnar. Made by Mr Puzzle.As soon as Brian saw this design published by Yavuz Demirhan on Facebook he immediately wrote to Yavuz to get permission to produce it.  He knew it would be a winner!  A nice balance of wood interwoven with acrylic makes a good looking puzzle.  This puzzle is not so difficult to take apart.   But mix up the pieces, walk away and forget about them, come back later and you’ll find it q...

52 pieces of wood in a ring. Impossible object by Mr Puzzle.
As well as a Wotsit? this one's also an Impossible Object. While making the puzzle I also came up with a neat idea to see if I could make a Mobius loop out of the pieces. I did this by adding a few extra pieces to allow the twist. Not sure if this has been done before. To our best knowledge, the original of this puzzle was whittled with a pen knife (this version is individually saw cut and routed, not laser cut) and sold as tramp art in the USA during The Great Depression but it was made in Eur...

Rialto Bridge IPP43 exchange puzzle

Rialto Bridge IPP43 exchange puzzle
This puzzle fits into a couple of different categories of puzzle. Brian calls it a sequential move puzzle. There are items to find and get out of the puzzle so it could be called a puzzle box in a way.But Brian does not consider it to be a full-blown SD like he’s done in the past.Goal:   What you have around the Rialto Bridge is gondolas and gondoliers, right?So you have to find the gondola and gondolier inside the puzzle. As well as his oar (pole) and the ballast (we jokingly said that was ...
