This work is the most comprehensive cigar book in print., 17 July 1999
By Craig J. France (casadelfrance@mindspring.com) - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Ultimate Cigar Book (Hardcover)
We all have plenty of work related reference matierials, but few of us can say that we have great reference matierials for our leisure actities. I have been an cigar smoker for 7 years and an avid smoker for the last three. I have purchased many books to elevate my knowledge of the subject. The other books are nice, but I could have saved considerable time and money if I had purchased "The Ultimate Cigar Book" first. This book takes you from the very first cigar smoked in public to the most recent develpments in the world of cigars. Hacker covers the processes of cigar production and the places that they are made. The Author essentially fills the middle section with tips and sage advice in an easily readable style reminiscent of the "Idiots Guide to..." Books. By my last comment, I don't mean to say that Hacker's approach is simplistic or lacking in any way. The end of the book has an index of cigar brands which covers the spectrum from Absolute to Zino, and gives great information on the Cuban brands as well. If you are a person who loves a great cigar, ( or would like information to help make your selections more successful) "The Ultimate Cigar Book" is a must read!

The Best Cigar Book Ever Written - It Smokes!!, 25 Dec 2000
By Jeff Gregory - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Ultimate Cigar Book (Hardcover)
I'm enjoying an Ashton Cabinet right now as I write this review in the predawn hours of Christmas Day 2000. I can't say enough about this book. I spent north of $1500 buying cigars and related stuff before I read this book, much of which could have been better spent had I read it first. Richard, beyond being the consumate cigar afficianado, is a likeable guy, and has a great sense of humor. For instance, when discussing how to smoke a cigar and the ash that forms at the end, he refers to this as "leaving the Mother Ship". What a funny guy!
The best parts: 1) How to light a cigar (stop offending others by doing it right, 2) The comprehensive list of brands in the back, which offers not only great info but a nice shopping list upon your next trip to the tobacconist.
This is a guy I would love to enjoy a cigar and a fine port with, discussing his many cigar adventures. Buy this book!

A fully comprehensive starters guide to the world of cigars, 8 Jun 1998
By Emre Biren (emrebiren@usa.net) - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Ultimate Cigar Book (Hardcover)
This has been my first cigar book. I have found it very comprehensive and informative. Now, I enjoy other fields of cigar-world as well after so many books on the subject but still this had been most informative for a novice.
Listmania!
