The Cigarette Book is the ultimate souvenir and celebration of the dying art of smoking. Encyclopaedic in both lay-out and range, it is an ideal consolation gift for those who have stopped, an ideal aide de memoire for those who might and a defiant puff of libertarian brilliance for those who won't.
A charming story of a love affair that daily went up in smoke
Celebrates the fine distinctions between brand, place, tradition and taste that elevate cigar appreciation to an art in itself. This title reaches across the Caribbean from the powerful tobaccos of Central America, through Cuba's rich aromas, to the Dominican Republic's finesse to show you the finest cigars available.
Showcases the unique collection of John Grossman which covers 90 years of cigar box labels and bands printed by four generations of George Schlegel Lithographers. This book takes these printed slices of American culture and combines them with the history of chromolithography to present the story of America's changing tastes and graphic standards.
You do not need to be a smoker of pipes, or of tobacco in any form, to enjoy this book. If you like to be entertained and instructed by unique information, you will find it a fascinating volume. The New York Times
