Customer Reviews

Enjoyable, well-written , informative and comprehensive .

The secret of this book's success is that it organizes and presents information already well-known to the cigar aficionado in a most appealing format. Publishers and editors of reference books would do well to see what the Landes have done in this most readable work.

Great Resource and a Pleasure to leaf through

Wonderful interviews with the Giants of the Cigar Industry, beautiful photos of Cigars, Boxes, Bands, Tobacco plants, roller's tables, etc. A comprehensive history and primer on the origins, journeys, and incarnations of the Smoke Tube. A great addition to any Cigar Smoker's table.
