Cigar Books

[GhostDawg]

I was cleaning off a book case in my den yesterday when I came across my old copy of The Cigar Companion by Bati and Chase. This was the 2nd edition, published in 1995 and was given to me as a gift by my father. It's a great book, though very outdated at this point (no mentions of Rocky Patel or CAO, or much on Gispert and other popular brands).

Does anyone out there have a recommendation on other good cigar books? I'd like to get one, and probably give a couple as gifts to friends new to the leaf.

Thanks.

If you can get the MRN Encyclopedia get it. This will be the only book you will ever need for your Habano reference.

Foe Non Cuban Reference. I use Cigar Afficianados web-site it is great. There is also Pearlmans Pocket Encyclopedia .

Sometimes those old books are great reads. Hold onto that classic.
