Review

In The World of Cigars, you'll find yourself transported to the famous cigar-making regions of the world, such as Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Mexico. You can nearly feel the heat rising over acres of waist-high silky green tobacco plants, hear the salsa music emanating from the workrooms, and smell the rich aroma rising from the piles of freshly made cigars in the rolling rooms.

In the chapter on accessories, cigar cutters are laid out in all their splendor in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and a myriad of designs; matches and lighters are featured with just as much aplomb; and gorgeous cigar boxes/humidors wrap up the chapter. No cigar book would be complete without highlighting the starring role cigars have played on the silver screen. Clint Eastwood, Edward G. Robinson, and of course, Groucho Marx and George Burns are all pictured strutting their stuff with a stogie, not to mention Whoopie Goldberg, Demi Moore, and supermodel Linda Evangelista striking poses with their big smokes. Interviews, quips, and quotes accompany the photos of the many famous cigar smokers. The informative text, culled from various issues of Cigar Aficionado, also takes you through the history of the cigar and cigar art--boxes, bands, and sidewalk sculpture. This is a handsome volume and a real treat for cigar lovers everywhere. --Colleen Preston
