Early English Cigar Mold

Collectibles : Tobacciana

 

Welcome to PinkAntiques. This is an interesting old unmarked cigar mold for 20 four-inch cigars. There are several layers of wooden pieces that are put together to form the body. This particular mold only has two pegs that close and keep it in place while the cigars dried. As you can see in the pictures, the inside layers form the shape where the rolled tobacco was placed. The outside layer of this mold actually looks like a framed slatted panel. It still has some dirty residue in many of the holes but it lends to its character. The mold is 4 inches high and 22 inches long. It is old and some of the layers have separations in them...the pictures show them. Overall though, I think it is in good shape and quite an interesting piece for a tobacciana collection.
