Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
This second edition contains updates in every section of the book, including the recently introduced Cuban brands, a huge expansion of the list of old Havana brand names, more details about Havana brand history and in response to popular demand, the inclusion of a brand index.
From the Author
I am often asked, "Are Havana cigars better than all others?" My answer is simple: "They are different." It is difficult to make a direct comparison between Havana cigars and those of other nations. Both can be excellent and satisfying, but this is one instance where the advertising slogan is correct: "Unicos desde 1492" - Unique since 1492.

A Specialist's Guide to Cuban Cigars
This is a book about Cuban cigars, past and present, and only about them. In reality, it is a book for the more serious smoker as the information is rather specialised. The book tells you which company made what cigars and whether they exist today or not. And of present cigars, it tells you which factory produces them and in what form of packing. This is THE defintive guide to date and I have read no other but be warned, it's about Cuban leaf and the book is not casual reading, it is more of a reference.
