Pressoir

Pressoir was introduced by Chinnock Cellars in 2013 as the company's third line. The cigar's name comes from "a machine that exerts pressure to form and shape or extract liquids from compressed solids," being used by winemakers for hundreds of years in order to "press the fermented grape must to extract the alcoholic juice better known as wine." This cigar offered many firsts for Chinnock Cellars, including a maduro wrapper, non-American production, and box-pressed shapes. The cigars appear to no longer be a part of Chinnock's regular-production lineup.
