Reviewing "Cigars"

As a non-smoker I never thought that I would appreciate a book dedicated to such an odoriforous vice as I do with "The Art of Fine Cigars". It's actually a very informative little book that outlines this "smoking art" from the history of smoking cigars, the choosing of the tobacco leaves, the curing of the selected leaves, the storage of the selected ones, all the way to the proper ways of smoking the finished product. Again, I'm not a smoker but I did find what this book had to say interesting. It makes for great topics of conversation at parties and providing trivia knowledge around your friends so they can go on thinking "what a brain!". This book is very compact but very prestigious looking. It'll dress up your bookshelf.

A decent beginners tome

The only reason I didnt give it a higher rating is because like anything else these days, this book being 4 or 5 years old, the info on cigar brands is already very dated. The rest of it is a fine read on how to select, light, smoke and care for your stogies.

Wonderful!

This is a great book if you're looking to get acquainted with cigars. Its truly relaxed approach is best appreciated while smoking a cigar
