5.0 out of 5 stars The King of Cigar References, December 12, 2008

By	D. J. Nelson "Proud Father of Four" (Kokomo, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the best book I have found on the market for information regarding specific brands. I have a journal I keep and write in every time I smoke a different cigar. The band tells me a little but most of the information I am looking for is in this book. It is a very small sized book that can be stored easily. There is quite a bit about the history of cigars and cigar smoking as well. The content is all up to date also. Thanks and I hope this helps...

5.0 out of 5 stars Perelman's Cyclopedia of Cigars - Everything you need to know, January 20, 2009

By	G. Dunn (Michigan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you keep a journal of your cigar smoking this is a great tool. Plenty of information about regions, types of leaves, sizes, etc. It really shines in giving you the base cigar information; where rolled, type of filler, binder and wrap, sizes, when introduced, annual volume, etc. Some have more information than others but the journal required basics are there. Convenient size fits in your pocket or cigar bag - I'm using a small gun range bag that works great - cigars, book, lighters, cutter, laptop, etc. Don't be afraid to buy "last years" - new cigars are always coming on the market and you can check their website for something just released. The information is ageless.

3.0 out of 5 stars A nice collective of available cigars, January 13, 2009

By	Rebel Music (California, USA) - See all my reviews

A nice collective of available cigars (at time of publication) but would love to see the offering expand to include the manufacturer, picture of band and possible notes of strength albeit could be subjective.
