I want to learn more about cigars.
Does a comprehensive, up to date book that provides a good overview of everything "cigar" exist? Sort of like "The Joy of Cooking" does for cooks.
I'm less interested in a description of brands than learning about the types of tobacco used, manufacturing processes, storing, aging, history of the indutry etc. etc. Thanks!

why read books when you have Club Stogie?!:D
 
I picked up the Complete Idiot's Guide to Cigars. I hate the name but it only cost like $16 or so and so far I really really like it. I've learned a lot from it so far - and from ClubStogie of course! It's pretty comprehensive at about 350+ pages. I'm currently halfway through the book.

Cigar Companion (Connoisseur's Guides) - I have that book, it is very comprehensive and even has reviews in it. :tu

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cigars, 2nd Edition - We did a book pass with this book and I think it was nearly worthless, had some small information in there, but some very misleading advice/facts.

The Cigar Companion: The Connoisseur's Guide - Also own this book, it is a decent read, far more informative than the Complete Idiots Guide, but not as good as the first one.


You can get them all from Amazon.com or half.com used and for a total of around $30 or less probably. Happy Reading:tu
 
If you're more interested in CCs, give this a try:

An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Post Revolution Havana Cigars by Min Ron Nee. Many consider it to be the Bible of the cigar world.

I'm still amazed everytime I open it. :tu

I just got this book via amazon.ca (or .com for you Usa-ers) and it was around 9-10 dollars. You can also link to it via the extras -> cs amazon link in up above.

I still have not found a copy locally... still looking though. Would like to thumb thru before I take a $150 plunge...
 
Here (link) is a thread on good cigar reference books. MRN is a must, it's like the Victoria's Secret catalog for cigars.:D
