Book Reviews of Cigars (2 Book Set)
Book Review: Primarily for Habanos Lovers
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone vaguely familiar with the Gerards are well aware of their expertise, dedication and love for the Habano, all of which is reflected in this beautiful edition which is actually a package containing two books.Similar to their other literary venture, "Havana Cigars," both books are well written and are enhanced by excellent photographs.
One of the books deals primarily with general background information which, although should already be standard knowledge for the enthusiast, is well presented. The other focuses on ratings and tasting notes for some of the great Habanos; these notes being highly personal albeit quite interesting and informative.
This edition is a great addition to any Habanos connoisseur's library.
Summary of Cigars (2 Book Set)
Fads come and go but a great "guy gift" is a joy to have on hand at holidays and Fathers Day. Not only a fan of a good smoke, author Vahe Gerard is an cigar expert, a professional cigar buyer who samples thousands of brands from all over the world (including Cuba) for his business of supplying prestigious clients throughout the world. The Gerard family owns the "Tiffany's" of tobacconists, Gerard Pere et Fils, Geneva, Switzerland. Cigars is two books in one package: Book One concentrates on the history of the cigar starting from tobacco cultivation to the handcraft of cigar rolling and includes other details of cigar culture (like how to detect a counterfeit Cuban).

It also contains a list of specialist stores and cigar clubs n the US and Canada.Special Occasions Books
