Perhaps one of you fine brothers can shed some light on this stick?

JD:

Care to chime in.

 

[Zen Cigar Man]

Wow - that's an old line! I don't think i remember that particular size, but i know the remaining lot was picked up by CI way back when...

 

[agctribefan]

I know where you can still get a couple.

 

[Nickerson]

Oh wow I want to try one badly now. Wish I had some money to blow on cigars. Haha.

Interested in hearing how these are.

Was waiting for this to pop up... lol.

 

[agctribefan]

there is one left. Who wants it?

 

[dpricenator]

love me some figurados....

 

[smokinghole]

I remember those smokes. I don't remember how they tasted but I remember the brand. I wonder if I ever saved any of those bands? Probably not.

So, of these...which do you recommend?

I actually have a couple of the Industrial Press in the "Brick" size still hiding in the Humidor.

 

[agctribefan]

i love the pepin rolled padilla signature 32's. We still have full boxes of those. the lfd limitado 3 are nice too. As well as the El Museo.

Hey guys,

I was just hanging out in JD's office, and he wanted me to throw up some photos of old Industrial Press boxes to show how the design progressed. I've posted the images below in chronological order, so the first shot is the oldest IP design and the last shot is the newest.

In case you don't know about Industrial Press, it was a brand we released in 2002, and they were presented in their presses. Enjoy the shots and this little piece of cigar history.

The uppermost press was the original Industrial Press design.

This was the second iteration of the IP press.

This was the final press design.
