My father was in the tobacco business most of his life and knew it inside out. He bought me this book as a must read and was right. Beautifully designed and a great read as well.
Cigar Aficionados Rejoice!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Finally a book which allows the true cigar aficionados and aspiriring aficionados to join together in the pure enjoyment of those deliciously carcinogenic agents known as cigars. By combining profiles of noted cigar aficionados with a breathtaking tour through the tobacco fields and factories of the leading cigar-manufacturing countries, it bestows upon the reader a sense of guilt that they now live in America where they cannot get those beloved "Cubans" .This book is all you need to learn the art of determining whether the jacket you were wearing while smoking smells of a powerhouse of cocoa bean and earthy flavors, or a robusto, floral, cedary, sweet, savory Romeo y Julieta. Descriptions which a normal person would believe to very similar (is "a powerhouse of cocoa bean flavor" the same as "a powerful flavor of cocoa", well yes, but that is besides the point) become so very essential to the true aficionado like myself. The world's ultimate cigar magazine now offers the ultimate cigar book.
