The first step on the journey to gaining a better appreciation of a thing is to better understand it. Taking you from seed to guillotine, The Cigar Companion will teach you everything you need to know about the history and process of handmade cigars. There’s also a buyers’ guide with profiles of 70 current top cigar brands so you know just which stogies are worthy of your time.
The book itself has a lot in common with a fine cigar, with its hand-bound leather cover and earthy brown good looks. Set out on a coffee table or resting on a shelf, this book will class up the joint nicely even when it’s not dropping centuries of tobacco knowledge.
