Iso: CC coffee table book

[Ophidion]

I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for a CC "guide book" that has all the marcas, history etc that is fairly comprehensive. Been meaning to get something like the guide book I saw at the LCDH in grand cayman for a whole now but I don't know what it was called.

Contact member Broozer, he has a great one he is willing to sell.

What you want to start with is...."

"An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Post Revolution HAVANA Cigars" by Min Ron Nee

Contact Rob or Diana directly. They have copies of it in stock usually.

You are describing the Min Ron Nee's Encyclopaedia here, Kevin! As noted by many others, now that I can see.

Frank is right, I got my copy last year from Lisa.

If I open up a smoking lounge in a few years (which is a decent possibility) I can write it off as a business expense

Thanks for the quick replies.

E: just saw the price... Going to go cry in the fetal position.

Min Ron Nee's Encyclopedia fits your criteria, excpet that it is difficult to find and when you do it is very expensive.

That's what Broozer has for sale!

If you go through Czar, it will cost you the price of a cab of 50 PLPC.

Far less expensive (especially on the second-hand market) are:

1. Gérard Père & Fils, Havana Cigars, Barnes & Noble Books: Edison, NJ, 1997.

2. Vahé Gérard, Cigares, Flammarion: Paris, 2008. Which must have been translated into English (it is a two-small volumes book).

Best,

Michel

Min Ron Nee is producing a revised edition of his book - I don't know where it stands or when it will be published.

Trevor or Nino might have more info.
