Toby:
This was an interesting read. It's full of information about cigars, from the history of them and the brands, to how they're made, how to purchase, store, and smoke them, and regional preferences and habits. However, the book doesn't read like a standard history and interest book but more like a conversation. One should read this book as if the author was talking to you in a smokeasy while you were each relaxing with your own cigar, thus hearing his point of view and experience in the hobby.
The short review: A really good reference and history book that a serious cigar hobbyist should have in their library, just ignore the author's occasional hubris.
My complaints:
The author toots his own horn multiple times, for example "..so if you see it elsewhere, you'll know where it came from -- this book". For me, coming from the software engineering world, this sounds like something a marketing person would do and -- what do you know -- that's the world he came from. It's a turn-off for me. If I'm dying to know where it came from I'll look at the references or footnotes.
Pictures are not great and several would be better (have more impact)...

Guzzi: I recently started smoking cigars. A good friend took me to a Cigar lounge. The fellowship of the people at the lounge, and the relaxation I get from them has been priceless. I came across this book, and got an incredible history of Cigars for the last 500 years in the New World. Now I can understand the shapes, sizes, flavor ranges, and all the different families behind all the best brands. Highly recommend reading this book.
