Cigar Smoker? Read This Book!!!

I have never seen so much pertinent information packed into a 213 page book. The thirteen chapters include sizes, storage, brands, ratings and even a glossary of key cigar words and expressions plus more. Even though I'm not a cigar smoker the information was fascinating and now I understand why my cigar smoking friends talk about them as if they were discussing a rare vintage bottle of wine. This is such a great little book that my so called friends tried stealing it from me.

A "must read" for newcomers to the world of cigars !

This book explains everything you need to know about cigars. It will make you a more informed shopper, and it gives you much needed information about the manufacturers, origins, and prices of cigars. Really enjoyed it!
