Customer Reviews

Just what I wanted

This was in absolutely perfect condition, and just what I wanted. I recommend the seller as being a completely reliable source.

Must have

My husband loves cigars and this book has taught him so many things. Like how to smoke and really enjoy a great cigar.

Great Book

An excellent guide to choosing fine cigars. I would advise anyone interested in choosing the best cigars to buy this book.

It's Fidel-icious! It's Fidel-ectable!

A detailed and richly illustrated tome discussing the finer points of cigar selection and enjoyment. As the title suggests, this is a guide for the connoisseur, not the novice. The perfect gift for anyone urbane enough to let a trash fire burn three inches from the tip of his nose.

A must-read for amateur aficionados!

At a first glance, the cover alone sold me on this guide. As I thumbed through its pages, the sweet aroma of tobacco seemed to permeate its exquisite photograhpy. But as I read the descriptions and history of the cigar making process, it was the author's careful consideration to word choice that created an image for every one of my senses. The aforementioned along with the book's listing of superior smokes made this guide aesthetically pleasing as well as very informative. (This was such a good read that I'm even considering writing a thesis on the history of cigars!!)
