Scott, I just recalled this review of the Cypress (and other tires) in Bicycle Quarterly. The link is http://www.vintagebicyclepress.com/images/BQ64TireTest.pdf They list the Cypress max inflation as 75 psi.

[RBW] Re: Pari-Moto & Grand Bois "Cypres" PSI?
The Pari-Moto inflation range (as printed on the sidewall) is 55-75 psi. There is a picture of this on the Riv site in the Pari-Moto product listing. I don't know about the Cypres, but the Hetre max is also 75, and that is where I keep the rear tire with 10-15 psi less in the front.
