5.0 out of 5 stars Don't even think about not having this book!, April 26, 1999

This review is from: Shanken's Cigar Handbook: A Connoisseur's Guide To Smoking Pleasure (Hardcover)
As a newcomer to the world of fine handmade cigars, I found in Shanken's Cigar Handbook a very comprehensive and cozy text. All the answers to the questions of fresh cigar aficionados are in there. Lots of great colorful pictures and cigar brand data too. Make this your reference book! Bill Cosby's merciless foreword is magnificent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Cigar Guide, June 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Shanken's Cigar Handbook: A Connoisseur's Guide To Smoking Pleasure (Hardcover)
This is an outstanding guide that will be useful for new cigar lovers as well as veteran smokers. It does need an update, and I would recommend a section devoted to small cigars and cigarillos, which are becoming more popular.
