Book Reviews of The Gourmet Guide to Cigars
Book Review: This is the only book worth reading on the subject, after that smoke
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the only book worth reading on the subject. Really, the rest is noise and marketing flim-flam. Paul Garmirian spent two years burning his savings and reading obscure forgotten dissertations on tobacco before he began to write this book, now in its tenth printing.
Garmirian divides the world into: Havana and non-Havana, and appropriately so. Every reviewer of things that taste inescapably apply their one taste to their criticism, but for breadth and depth and fairness and for taste that is most likely to match your own, he is a reliable critic and adviser.
This is a book cherished by cigar connoisseurs who look past the fluff of the glossies (Cigar Aficionado) and realize there really is a world without glitz, a thoughtful thorough world where real critics and cognoscenti start discussions and comparisons of cigars by asking the subtle question "have you read Paul's book?" to separate the men from the poseurs.
