I find this book to be invaluable for selecting cigars to match food, wines, cognac and time of day. I have been smoking and learning about cigars for 55 years. This two volume set is the best I have found.

It is handsomely presented and written by Gerard Pere et Fils, a noteworthy cigar retailer in Geneva Switzerland.

This book covers a large amount of info on cigars historical and present plus the best in the world (past and now). I was just starting out in cirgars and this book has helped tremendously with ideas and tips for smoking, storing and all sorts of other vital things. The tips alone have saved my cigar collection and $$$$$ from being wasted. Recommend to all as the book has things for the beginner to the avid collector.

Decent value for the price and some useful information. I was looking for more in depth discussion on cigar blending and how to interpret blends vs cigar flavor. I need some guidance to help me buy the right cigar for my taste when trying new brands and blends. The second part of the book was all Cuban cigars which are off limits to us in the US. Good book for my collection - I'm glad I bought it.

I have not received the item I ordered, even though I have waited the 22 days it said it would take for me to receive it. I have written the seller, to no avail. I have not heard from them since they charged my paypal. I will not do business with them in the future. This is the first time I have ever had this happend with Amazon. This item was a birthday present for my husband, and the first time he did not get a present from me until after his actual Birthday. I am very disapointed.
