Special
It is exceptional that a cigar press after about 80 years is still found complete with all original cigars inside the mold.
Visible signs of age are not a defect, but part of the story. The wear of time has left both the press and the original cigars with a beautiful authentic patina that cannot be reproduced. It is precisely this combination of wear, history, and complete contents that makes this object special.
A unique piece of Dutch cigar industry that exudes the mood of a bygone era and seems to come straight from an old cigar factory.
