We are in the cigar business, and when someone calls us and asks about a cigar and we've never heard of it the first place we look is Pearlmans. A must for anyone in the cigar business and a bargain at $12! Also includes interesting information and facts about tobacco growing, curing, rolling, etc.

Complete and indispensable!

An unbiased listing of nearly every cigar brand, hand- or machine-made, available at the time of printing. Perelman's job hasn't gotten any easier over the last few years since the profusion of handmade cigars has now become a flood. However, he's very much up to the task - there is no other book that comes close to being as comprehensive. If you regularly smoke cigars, you should always have the most current copy of this book on your bookshelf.
