A wonderfully tactile piece of post-war industry, this original 1950s cigar mould still contains a full set of shaped cigars—dried out now, but beautifully preserved in form. Designed to press hand-rolled tobacco into shape, the mould is made from pine and stamped with the maker’s mark from Bad Liebenstein in Thuringia, Germany. A striking object with sculptural presence—perfect as a display piece or conversation starter.
