This review is from: Perelman's Pocket Cyclopedia of Cigars - 2007 Edition (Paperback)
This is not a how-to book. Nor is it a review book. It simply tells you the sizes of every cigar in production at the time the book was released. From that view point, it is helpful to people in the business, or people who want to use it as a reference guide (sort of like a cigar dictionary). If you're looking to learn about cigar smoking, then I would not recommend this book, but rather one of the "cigar smoking for dummies" books or a an internet resource.

This book has everything an OCD-type individual could want. I keep a datatbase of cigars i've smoked as well as my reviews/ratings on them. This is a very helpful tool for that purpose. I enjoy it, beacuse it also gives depth on the blends and wrappers which isn't always readily available.

This review is from: Perelman's Pocket Cyclopedia of Cigars - 2007 Edition (Paperback)
This book is nothing more than a listing of every known cigar style and brand from every manufacturer known by the author. For each manufacturer, you have the country of origin, whether its handmade or machine rolled, and each cigar's shape, length, and ring size, wrapper and filling. In some cases, the manufacturers own description is included for some information on the cigar.
It tells you nothing in the way of product reviews from the writer or his staff; there is no rating system, nor a price guide that allows the buyer to evaluate whether he/she is paying a fair price for the product. Sadly, all of this is available on the book's web site. but not in the "pocket cyclopedia". If you are well-versed cigar smoker, I suspect this might be useful as a resource to tell you which cigars are still being made, and which styles are still available. It also summarizes brands that have ceased, resurrected, and new manufacturers, which is interesting in an "almanac" style review. But, if you are a novice, this book won't help all that much.
