You don't have to be a cigar smoker to enjoy this book!
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...

"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.

This review is from: Blowing Smoke: Being a Compendium of Amusing Anecdotes, Witty Ripostes, and Lengthy Literary Passages on the Glories of the Cigar (Hardcover)
This short (~100 pages) book is a great companion for any cigar smoker. Full of short quotes, tales, and excerpts from a variety of sources from many different time period from the Spanish discovery of tobacco to the modern day. With quotes from Rudyard Kipling, Sigmund Freud, Groucho Marx, and numerous others, this book is a great read to accompany a relaxing smoke.
