Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
In The World of Cigars, you'll find yourself transported to the famous cigar-making regions of the world, such as Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Mexico. You can nearly feel the heat rising over acres of waist-high silky green tobacco plants, hear the salsa music emanating from the workrooms, and smell the rich aroma rising from the piles of freshly made cigars in the rolling rooms.
In the chapter on accessories, cigar cutters are laid out in all their splendor in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and a myriad of designs; matches and lighters are featured with just as much aplomb; and gorgeous cigar boxes/humidors wrap up the chapter. No cigar book would be complete without highlighting the starring role cigars have played on the silver screen. Clint Eastwood, Edward G. Robinson, and of course, Groucho Marx and George Burns are all pictured strutting their stuff with a stogie, not to mention Whoopie Goldberg, Demi Moore, and supermodel Linda Evangelista striking poses with their big smokes. Interviews, quips, and quotes accompany the photos of the many famous cigar smokers. The informative text, culled from various issues of Cigar Aficionado, also takes you through the history of the cigar and cigar art--boxes, bands, and sidewalk sculpture. This is a handsome volume and a real treat for cigar lovers everywhere. --Colleen Preston

Cigar Aficionados Rejoice!,
By Ryan Cauley (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: World of Cigars (Hardcover)
Finally a book which allows the true cigar aficionados and aspiriring aficionados to join together in the pure enjoyment of those deliciously carcinogenic agents known as cigars. By combining profiles of noted cigar aficionados with a breathtaking tour through the tobacco fields and factories of the leading cigar-manufacturing countries, it bestows upon the reader a sense of guilt that they now live in America where they cannot get those beloved "Cubans" .This book is all you need to learn the art of determining whether the jacket you were wearing while smoking smells of a powerhouse of cocoa bean and earthy flavors, or a robusto, floral, cedary, sweet, savory Romeo y Julieta. Descriptions which a normal person would believe to very similar (is "a powerhouse of cocoa bean flavor" the same as "a powerful flavor of cocoa", well yes, but that is besides the point) become so very essential to the true aficionado like myself. The world's ultimate cigar magazine now offers the ultimate cigar book.

My father was in the tobacco business most of his life and knew it inside out. He bought me this book as a must read and was right. Beautifully designed and a great read as well.

This is one of the greatest coffee table books of all time. I would be totally blessed if I only had a coffee table to put it on.
