Unquestionably the finest book available on Cuban cigars

With the plethora of books currently available on cigars in general and on Habanos in particular, this is (still) the one item no cigar aficionado dare be without.

My cigar bible

I have an extensive collection of cigar books but this is the only one I cannot part with . The author has successfully catalouged Cuban cigars and provided extensive and interesting information not available in other contemporary publications . A must for any serious aficionado.

What a wealth of information,appreciated only by a devotee!

This book is a powerhouse of information. From the technical aspect of fermatation,ageing,curing and even the various leaf sizes and their roles in the cigars,blew me away! A MUST have in the collection of true "habanophiles" such as myself. The reference portion of the book is truly a collection of different vitolas,their own taste,brand names ,and taster's note is a great point of information. I highly recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a great habano,and can appreciate ,not only the task it took to make this book,but more importantly ,the task it takes to make a truly great cigar!!!!

a great cuban cigar book

the very best cuban cigar book available at online bookstores. detailed descriptions of every step in growing tobacco plant from seed to mature plant, drying, fermentation and storing. the second part , the notes for every single cigar, is an excellent comparative index for beginners. it is definitely a must for cuban cigar enthusiasts.

Best resource of cuban cigars for the cigar afficionado

Great resource, descriptions, and tasting notes on almost every single cuban made. Has actual-sized photos of all cigars and an excellent resource for anyone who smokes a lot of cubans. Need something for the aficionado who has everything? Well, I'm also sending this to a friend who's also a Cubaholic.
