Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

It was Winston Churchill who made famous the phrase "I always hold Cuba in my mouth." Napoleon Bonaparte, Abe Lincoln, and Richard Wagner were all connoisseurs of tobacco. The Cigar Labels Collectible Postcards, packed in--what else?--a cigar box, offer an unusual tribute to the mystique of the cigar: each of the 40 postcards is unique, featuring a color print from the stores of a private collector. These postcards, perfect for aficionados as well as for those who appreciate cigar kitsch, offer a historic celebration of both well-known and exotic cigar-box labels from around the world. --Julie Ubben
