Cuban Cigar Handbook - Highly Recommended

[Saxman]

Two days ago, I ordered this book via Amazon $20.23

The Ultimate Cigar Book: 4th Edition https://www.amazon.com/dp/1632206579/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_OKPcybGWPDR0G

I read this book in one sitting. Perhaps because I am newer to Cuban cigar smoking, and also very much because I am traveling to my homeland Cuba in December. I was able to enjoy all the sections of this book.

It covers everything from the history of cigars,to the history of all the different brands. It also outlined each brand, it's Vitolas, and a review of a cigar in every brand.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to have this kind of information handy. It's in his fourth edition, and it is hard bound, with very good quality paper and binding.

No matter if you need a Cuban cigars like me, or an old timer like many of you, this is a good read, and a good book to share with others with our interest.

The picture and the link are for two separate books.

The Ultimate Cigar Book 4th edition is actually written by a friend of mine, who also happens to be a writer for The Robb Report.  It's a great read, have a copy myself. 

The other one I know nothing about except for that it's a good looking book.

Yes, two different books. The one pictured is by Matteo Speranza, the other in the link by Richard Carlton Hacker is "The Ultimate Cigar Book". I don't know Dick but do kmow Matteo, he has a great blog too.... http://cubancigarsculturelifestyle.blogspot.com/ Had the chance to smoke a couple with Matteo in Havana couple years back and would trust his take....

That said, may still look into the other...

This is the link to the UK site for the OP's mentioned book.
The other, The Ultimate Cigar Book by Richard Carleton Hacker book, is excellent by the way, covering history, manufacture, culture etc of both CC and NCs.

Thanks for the clarification. The one I read is Matteo's book.

Would like to get that book, "The Cuban Cigar Handbook".   Great presentation by someone that knows his Habanos.  Got a gift card to burn at Amazon and I think that will be my purchase.

Thanks for posting Saxman and have a great trip to Cuba.  Please post pics of your travels.
