Modern Cigar Culture July 21, 2003
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I own a growing collection of books about cigars and this one is certainly one of the better ones. This book avoids being simply a history lesson about a pastime that was popular 150 years ago, and dives in to the here and now. It contains a lot of original and interesting contemporary cigar culture material that is quite fresh, and would be hard to find elsewhere. The text traces the journey of the author(s) as they move around the world interacting with cigar smokers and the culture that surrounds them. It also reviews 50 popular modern cigars from various locations. Iym deducting 1 star because I think the book tries to be a bit too sexy, a cardinal sin amongst true cigar smokers, who donyt smoke to impress and often have to try hard to throw off the pretentiousness tag. However, make no mistake, this is a really enjoyable book that is nice to look at, quite modern in content and also rather unique.
