Making Cigars:

How, Where & With What


This Gallery is under construction.


    The first two Exhibits provide a complete look at 20+ different tools used in the making of cigars by hand.

    “Hand Tools Pictured” is exactly that. It consists of a simple illustration of each of the 20 most common tools along with its correct name. This was designed to help eBay sellers who frequently misidentify the tools they are offering at auction.

    “Hand Tools Pictured Plus” is a detailed look at those and other tools including how they are used, variations you might find, and a lot more. Both are now open as are three Exhibits related to 19th Century Factories.

    You are invited to visit the Museum to see what’s new in this, and other Galleries every month or so.
