You don't have to be a cigar smoker to enjoy this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
I'm not a cigar smoker and the current cigar mania cracks me up--but I do like learning funny and interesting things about any subject. Blowing Smoke showed me how cigars have been a part of the world's culture and history. If you read this book, you'll be surprised to see who said what about cigars. I browsed through the quotes and stories, then ended up starting over and reading the book cover-to-cover. What a fun pleasure this book is!
An humorous, enjoyable journey into the world of cigars

"Blowing Smoke" is the perfect coffee-table book for cigar lovers! Full of humor and history, I enjoyed both the fun and the insights to famous people like Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling. This book would make the perfect gift for anyone you know who loves cigars.
