Few pleasures can rival that of smoking a fine cigar, and The Connoisseur's Guide to Cigars is designed to enhance that satisfaction for smokers of all tastes. This comprehensive full-colour directory lists all the major Havana, Dominican and Honduran brands, plus many less well-known brands. Alongside each brand are notes on origin, smoking qualities, flavour and aroma. The Connoisseur's Guide to Cigars also explores the process of cigar making, from cultivation of the tobacco leaves to final fermentation, rolling, packing and shipping. Additional features highlight Cuba's premier growing areas and go behind the scenes to show how Havana's world famous cigar factories operate.
