Good table book

I have cigars and some times people really want to know why well this book and others I have make it a good read

Very helpful

I purchased this book to get a rating guide. What I received was that and so much more! The first part of the book gives an in depth breakdown and rating of domestic and Cuban cigars and the second part is all about the history and making of cigars. If you have a cigar smoking friend and want to get him/her a gift, this book would be well received.

Cigar Companion

Great book with loads of info. Great for the beginner just getting into cigars for the first time. Very helpful backround info on the brands as well as tips on storing, buying, and lighting. A great book all around.

GREAT Read and Desk Referance....

This is very good for some Facts and information.. Great for a Desk Referance also. Everything from the Making and process of Cigars to Keeping the Humidor in good Shape!.. Worth the Few Dollars to maybe save you more in the Long Run!

Excellent Book, Highly recommended

Excellent book, rich in information on cigar's brands, history. Very nicely divided by topic. The book covers various aspects about cigars, but trully stands out in two sections; 1. Cigar brands with history and advice on their best production, with notes, year made.... 2. Nice section containg what is considered to be the best cigars ever made. A joy to read, light hearted strongly recommended.
