A superb reference of label art,clear,colorful, & detailed.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Art of the Cigar Label (Hardcover)
As a graphic designer this book has served me well on many projects. It is detailed with a large display of labels that are well reproduced for the viewer. The catagories add a variety subjects to the art of labels which is why many of us feel this book is like a bible. It is the most complete book so far on this subject.

Complete and engrossing,
This review is from: Art of the Cigar Label (Hardcover)
How interesting can old American cigar labels be? Enough to fill up a full color 250 page coffee table book, at least.
The book is more than just a compendium of old labels from deceased brands, but a history lesson, a seminar in the materials and processes used in generating the labels, and a discussion of the various themes explored in the artwork, i.e. patriotism, women, theater, sports and gambling, cowboys & indians, you name it. Finally, there is some very informative stuff on collecting cigar art, searching for historic labels and estimating value. The book is the most complete work on the subject of this type of collectable Americana, and as such is recommended to all interested in the field.

Outstanding collection of a lost Americana art form,
By A Customer
This review is from: Art of the Cigar Label (Hardcover)
Any true collector will appreciate Davidson's initial edition, and followup version, "Smoker's Art". For those of us who pore over piles of stuff seaching for a winner, be it cigar labels or anything else, this book is a treasure trove of high quality art.
