5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any book and cigar lover!, October 21, 1999

My wife Pat gave me the second edition in 1995. I recently purchased the new addition. It only gets better. Not only is it put together beautifully but more importanly, it is fun to read as well as being very informative. I find myself frequently going back to it as I'm enjoying a cigar and a scotch. Great book, great price, go buy it. You won't be disappointed. Good smoking!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource, but needs an update, May 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Cigar Companion: The Connoisseur's Guide (Hardcover)

A wonderful book! With an emphasis on Cubans, it gets into detail about the history of cigar production and everything about the leaf from field to final product, including how leaves from different parts of the tobacco plant affect the flavor of your cigar.

The reviews of popular brands are well written and informative, but as they are now 3+ years old, it's about time for a new edition.

An essential volume for anyone interested in cigars!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide - but needs updating, June 26, 2000

This is a fine cigar guide, but it is getting dated. I hope the author will provide an update soon. Still, it is a very useful reference guide for cigar lovers.
