Good Cigar Books

I tried searching but couldn't come up with anything. I'm looking for some good cigar books. I'd like to learn more about the industry, aging process, and the history of cigars. A guide to cigars that includes cuban cigars would be nice too. I hear MRN come up and it sounds great but I also hear 80-100 dollars come up and I don't want to spend that on a book.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Good Cigar Books

All the book stores have this one.

The IDIOTS Guide to Cigars.

Not bad it has all you need to know to get started and keep going with cigars.

Maybe this will help some, I know there are several out there, and I saw some of these the other day at my local store.

Re: Good Cigar Books

MRN is pretty much la creme de la creme of cigar books, but yes, it is rather expensive. PM me if you want a source to get it for $75 shipped.

Moving to other books though, go to half.com and simply search for the term 'cigar'. Dozens of books will come up, some of which you can get for less than $5!

Re: Good Cigar Books

Thanks guys. I was kidding around. I'll check it out next time I'm at the bookstore. I'm gonna see if I can get a copy of MRN's book too.

Re: Good Cigar Books

There are many, many cigar books. Your first stop should be your public library.
