Rating:  Summary: Excellent resource, but needs an update Review: A wonderful book! With an emphasis on Cubans, it gets into detail about the history of cigar production and everything about the leaf from field to final product, including how leaves from different parts of the tobacco plant affect the flavor of your cigar.The reviews of popular brands are well written and informative, but as they are now 3+ years old, it's about time for a new edition. An essential volume for anyone interested in cigars!
Rating:  Summary: A must for any book and cigar lover! Review: My wife Pat gave me the second edition in 1995. I recently purchased the new addition. It only gets better. Not only is it put together beautifully but more importanly, it is fun to read as well as being very informative. I find myself frequently going back to it as I'm enjoying a cigar and a scotch. Great book, great price, go buy it. You won't be disappointed. Good smoking!

Rating:  Summary: Review of the Cigar Companion Review: The Indianapolis Star says: "...tells you all you ever need to know about the best brands." BookPage says: "No true connoisseurs should be without these guides: handsome, informative, and generously illustrated. The top-selling cigar reference includes updated entries for 70 cigars and 20 brand profiles. Cognac and martini aficionados will be equally pleased with their elegant companions."
Rating:  Summary: Not as helpful as it should be Review: This book gave some useful information on cigars - particularly on the history of cigars, but overall, it did not answer half the questions I have. It does not even have a glossary.
Rating:  Summary: An excellent guide - but needs updating Review: This is a fine cigar guide, but it is getting dated. I hope the author will provide an update soon. Still, it is a very useful reference guide for cigar lovers.
