My husband loves cigars and this book has taught him so many things. Like how to smoke and really enjoy a great cigar.

This book hit the presses apparently in 1996, so naturally some of the actual cigar reviews are dated. However, it is still a worthwhile purchase for a cigar smoker because of some of the timeless information (How tobacco becomes a cigar, choosing cutting and lighting a cigar, etc) that it offers.
