Your favorite cigar book?

[Wiley]

Last summer, I really got off on reading James Michener's Iberia with a fine Cuban and a glass of port. Reading about sunny Spain just seemed to be the perfect fit for me.

Anyone else like a good book with their habanos?

[Loki]

Sure who doesn't.

I've been rereading some Piers Anthony books. Incarnations of Immortality series.

But most of the time I read periodicals with fine habanos.

Lately, some of the Nero Wolfe mysteries.

I know that it is not a book, and I know that it is not Cuban, but the DVD that Fuente put out around xmas which detailed their lives and trials, and development of the OPUS X is facinating. (It would have been fun to read if it was in book form.)

I still fancy an OPUS X every now and then but they are so damn expensive except for a couple connections that they outprice the best cubans and certainly are not a match. (No-I have no affiliation with the Fuentes.) I look forward to seeing what books others like.

I am not one for reading. Thats why I like MRN Encyclopedia. Lotza pics.

Probably the only reading that is really interesting to me would be the penthouse forum stories.

I spend a lot of time reading the Min Ron Nee book while smoking cigars. I also read my Cigar Aficionado, Smoke, and Wine Enthusiast magazines. If I grab a book, it is usually in the Robert Jordan, Wheel of Time series or Terry Goodkind's the Sword of Truth series.

It's been a LONG time since I read those, but I remember liking them a lot.

No books here except for the occasional professional one. The nicotine provides balance for an otherwise anesthetic experience.

I do like to read the WSJ and the cigar periodicals while smoking, as mentioned above.

[El Presidente]

One of my favourite Habanos pastimes. A great book, a bottle of wine...on the verandah overlooking the ponderosa with my feet up.

Currently reading a raunchy Spanish Novel.....no-one in my family understands a word of Spanish and hence knows what I am reading ;-)

Nothing better that sitting down with cuban cigar whilst reading MRN.

Once the weather breaks here in the northeast this is exactly what I'll be doing.

Ditto! I could not have said it better for the reading thing. I like to watch a good "mans" movie in the gentlmans retreat. No chick flick allowed.

Yep, MRN...but Perleman's pocket guide to Havanas is also a great reference book.

You know, I agree about Perleman's guide...once you get past the errors and mistakes. I don't know who the editors are, but gawd they do a horrible job. The Perleman's guide to NCs is ever worse.:-(

Most of the time I'm reading school text books while smoking, but the other times I'll read my Cigar Aficionado Magazine and look through all of the Cigar catalogs that I get in the mail.

[PJ_CEONAD_CC]

Love the Pics in a 1997 edition of 'Cigars of the World'. Thumb thru it every few months or so.

[Taino]

nop, not reading and smoking, maybe signs in the street or girls shirts, but nothing else...

[josie67]

My 2 favorite cigar books are the MRN bible and Havana Cigars by Gerard Pere. Havana Cigars used to be available at Barnes and Noble, but I haven't seen it in years. :-(

[setay]

no question MRN.

[Duckguy]

For a book to read while smoking....well is the FoH Forum considered a book? Typically I read Atlantic Monthly cover to cover and much of it while smoking. I also read a lot of nonfiction, particuarlly nerdy science stuff.

MRN when it comes to books on cigars.

[seamus]

Ditto on MRN. The book never gets old and reads great with a smoke.

MRN... just so much info in there... but the book is huge... wish it was easier to carry around :-(
