The World of Habano Book

[Justmi]

Have a Google if you haven't heard of this book (its relatively new I think). My question is: have any of you read it yet and is it worth purchasing?

The blurb:

Published by Cuba’s Tobacco Research Institute, “the world of the Habano” is a 190 page book, packed with Pictures, notes and diagrams.

It reveals how Habanos are made from seeds to finished boxes.

It contains biographies of all 27 brands and includes an easy guide To all their shapes and sizes.

Limited Editions, Gran Reservas, Reservas and other special productions Are explained and there are chapters on keeping, ageing and tasting cigars As well as information about the Festival del Habano and where to smoke around the world.

It comes with a ring gauge guide and a CD rom that includes not only the complete contents of the book So you can view it on the screen, but also a unique size finder and even a quiz to test your knowledge.

I'm usually a digital media guy but a book like this with good info and wonderful pictures is always welcome on my table.

Dunno if you found it or not but it is available locally. Out of respect I'm not posting the link here but google will sort u out.

As for the book, I'm happy with the purchase. Nice pics!

good book and well priced...

[cigcars]

Yes! I bought my copy around a year or so ago. Very nice book yet I would say you can get excellent satisfaction out of Min Ron Nee's Habana Encyclopedia as well. Excellent photos and descriptions that we've been exposed to any number of times in the past by all the other publications through the years. I just basically made it a point to be able to add this one to my collection almost out of personal obligation than any real need for further info on the Habana cigar which we've already heartily acquired, and still do. 'Make sense, folks??

If that's the book sold at the LCDH, it's an excellent book. I think I paid around $50 in Canada for the book.

It's €35 euro here in my local shop. Good price, interesting book.

I have been hearing that distributers are starting a certification system for retailers with a multiple-choice exam based on the contents of the book.

I had better start studying

[Patric M]

I've got copy. Never really read it yet but flipped threw it. It coms with a cool ring gauge tool and a copy of the book and CD also. It's very nice quality and is great for a coffee table in a man cave.

[Profmd]

I agree great book. Bought it in my local shop for $39.99.

Price is all over the board for it thought. Have seen as high as $99.99!!

I got one for Christmas. Its pretty nice with info you can get for sure other places but good pics and history of Cuban tabacco. Nice present for an botl without breaking the bank imo.

[Armaniac]

Very good book but, be forewarned, the DVD doesn't work on Macs.
