Description

Vintage cigar press made of softwood on the outside and copper beech on the lower layer with hornbeam in the area of the sharp edges on the upper layer. This particular press was No. 9059. The wood is stamped with a “6” and the letters “D.R.G.I.” and has the numbers “342” stamped on the side twice. The cigar press represents the skilled, hands-on labor of cigar makers who relied on craftsmanship for their livelihood. It symbolizes pride in manual work
