Cigar books?

[Basil]

I also have "The Ultimate Cigar Book" and I must say it's pretty good. However, I've learned much more from this forum than in that book... I'd say save your money and spend it on a couple of cigars instead!

So, in that respect, TR has been a far more useful guide when purchasing "blind" than CA, or even this forum for that matter.

I'm with you on that one punch. I also find Rudman's to be the closest to my tastebuds and have learned a lot by reading him AND reading between the lines. Also true, what he thought was poor quality, I also found not to my liking.
