Nino Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Received an excellent book from my friend & merchant Mr Portmann that has just come out and I'm impressed by it's quality and wealth of "basic" and detailed information. It is by Habanos SA, in English, with 186 pages of high quality pictures and decent text. I especially liked the detailed information on planting, harvesting & fermentation plus all the information and real size pictures on vitolas. Spent the afternoon in the garden and finished it - never boring. (Rare) Compliments to HSA ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverickdrinker Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I got the same book last week Nino. Beuatiful pictures and well written. A bargain for $25.00 CDN + taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottierm Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 As Art (and because he told me about it) I bought my copy last week. Excellent introduction (perhaps the best) with beautiful pictures and at such a cheap price! A must buy. Best, Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorgkw Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Guys, where can I get the HSA book? I don't think I can find it in my country so buying online looks like the only option for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habana Mike Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 A difficult question. Some are very informative but without beautiful pictures, others are purely coffee table books. Most are outdated now. If I had to choose one which is both beautiful and informative but also relatively cheap as a second-hand, I'll go with the Del Todesco. But I'm sure other people have their favourite! Best, Michel PS: I still have lots of love for the Gerard Pere & Fils production. I have a few of these and to my mind del Todesco's "The Havana Cigar" is one of the most insightful tomes on seed to smoke that I've read. While maybe not to the quality of some other publications, the photography is pretty spectacular in what's captured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HabanoHam Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 All these great suggestions will definitely keep me busy during the winter since I can't smoke as often. I've been looking for some good cigar reading and this thread is the Jackpot. Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
