"Out of Control"
"John if you ask me your cigars are one of the BEST products on the market. Anyone that has even thought about doing a trick with cigars or cigarettes should look no further. I would have paid 3 times the price! WOW...WOW...WOW I love my wooden cigars. I wish I had these years ago!"

"I bought one of John Rogers' products (Drooping ash cigarette), then bought another (lit cigarette), then ANOTHER (cigar). THAT should tell you something about how much I love his work. (PLUS, he went WAY out of his way to provide me EXACTLY what I wanted.) His devotion to QUALITY and customer satisfaction is rare in this day of poorly produced, mass marketed magic products! I may not be able to stop buying until I have ONE of everything he makes!"
Paul Kozak - Las Vegas

John, I must tell you that as a working Pro for over 25 years now, I have purchased and used a lot of props. Your work surpasses the term "props" they are legitimate works of "ART." They are not mere tools for me to manipulate, they are exquisite "friends" that I have "Tender Intimacies" with. Signed KOZ

Tommy Wonder - Netherlands
"Wow! It is hard to believe it is possible to make cigars from wood looking this good. They are just perfect, and could not be better. Congratulations and thank you for making them available! You are doing a tremendous job. Thanks a lot."
Doc Eason - Snowmass, Colorado
"Not only is John's Droopy cigarette bordering on fine art ...it is one of the funniest sight gags I have ever used.... unbelievable... looks more like the real thing than the real thing."
Mac King - Las Vegas
"John's cigars and cigarettes are my favorite conversation pieces."
Obie O'brien - Head Forker F.F.F.F.
"John Rogers cigars and cigarettes are so good that my wife hollered at me, smoke that thing outside! (it really fooled her) They are the best on the market."
Luca Pertz - The Hustler - Belgium
"I am impressed. No, I am IMPRESSED! The cigar is a perfect duplicate of a real lit Balmoral cigar I use in my stage show. It's a piece of art. It is exactly what I have been looking for. I have looked for many years and now I have found it! Many thanks for your custom work!"
Thomas Henkel - Munich Germany
"I cannot imagine how you or anyone else could make wooden cigars any better. I'm very pleased with them as they look unbelievable real. Your attention to the details - the texture of the painting, the bite marks, the wet end and the glowing core of the lit cigars are very impressive. I also love the cigar purse, especially the gaffed one."
Tom Mullica - Las Vegas
"I thought John's cigarettes were real until I found splinters in my stool! John smokes the competition!"
Hey! I didn't make this stuff up!
Whit Haydn - Los Angeles, California

John is a gentleman, a fine magician, and an impeccable craftsman. We are lucky that we can count him among the magic fraternity.

"John's cigars and cigarettes are so real I didn't believe they were fake until I held one. I bought one on the spot!"
Tom Craven - Kent Ohio
"I'm amazed at not only the quality of the wooden cigars and cigarettes, but if I didn't know better, I'd swear they're real! It's got to be a time consuming labor of the love in magic that keeps John cranking them out!"
Daryl - The Magicians Magician!
"I recently obtained several of John's hand made cigars and cigarettes and I am thrilled to say they are even more beautiful than I had imagined! What can I say, They're Perfect!"

"John Rogers' wooden cigars and cigarettes are not simply good; they are works of art. Even more, his wooden cigarette was a real help during those first few weeks when I stopped smoking cigarettes."
