bpm32 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 In addition to all the books listed, Nancy Stout’s “Habanos: The Story of the Havana Cigar” is pretty good. It’s another coffee table book. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to figure out what happened to the second edition. Don't really care about $$, I think I'd buy it regardless. But it's nowhere to be found, if it was ever printed anyhow. ?

ha_banos Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Am reading Inside Cuban Cigars. Quite geeky. By Tabakmann. Not sure how accurate all the info is.

It’s another coffee table book. Just got this one in. It's a beautiful book. Very well made. Thick leaves, great lithography. A bit dated coming out in 1997, still some great information and the pictures with Don Alejandro as a "younger" man along with all the factories at the time make it a worthwhile addition. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very, very fulfilling reading. I even wrote him once and he personally responded when I had a pipe question: he's got a book out about pipes and pipe smoking too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
