99call Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 You should come to Holland, you will find enough to build a barn!!. Quite a few 1900-1950s producers in holland would actually sell you the cigars in the mould, tied together with a decorative ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any more fresh rollers still doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the dutch tobacco trade used to source a lot from areas like Sumatra, Brazil etc. Companies like Dannemann are still going I think......but I've never been tempted.

StogieSteve23 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Wow, very cool! Thanks for sharing. One of my aunts runs estate sales. I always tell her to be on the lookout for stuff like this or humidor cabinets, cigar memorabilia, etc.. No luck thus far though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea of value, was part of a couple odds and ends I gave him $20 for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea about the Dutch cigars mentioned, but you are correct in that typically bound cigars are placed in molds, and wrappers applied after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, but after this process the cigar were place back in the mould (with bands on) and sold. I'm not suggesting this was always done, it was more of a novelty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
