4.0 out of 5 stars The Bible for the cigar industry., October 22, 1999

By	Ira Neuringer American Cigar Corp. (smokeysc... (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Perelman's Pocket Cyclopedia of Cigars-1999 edition (Paperback)

Pearlman's lists 97% of the cigars on the markettoday. Published yearly, the book has been growing in leaps and boundsfor the past 3 years. We are in the cigar business, and when someone calls us and asks about a cigar and we've never heard of it the first place we look is Pearlmans. A must for anyone in the cigar business and a bargain at $12! Also includes interesting information and facts about tobacco growing, curing, rolling, etc.

This review is from: Perelman's Pocket Cyclopedia of Cigars, 2003 (Paperback)

If your looking for a definitive listing of all the cigars on the market today, this is it. Don't kid yourself and think this is anything more than what it is...a paper database of the world's cigars. if that is what your looking for, you have found it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Missing Link - No band pictures., November 7, 2001

By	Andrew Dirschell (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Perelman's Pocket Cyclopedia of Cigars, 2001 edition (Paperback)

I expected the cyclopedia to include pictures of the cigar bands. It doesn't. Without a rosetta stone to correlate the listing in the cyclopedia to the actual cigar, it's pretty usless to me.
The info listed; shape, name, length, ring, and wrapper; can already be found any number of places on the Net.
