Aaron Sigmond’s fifth book on cigars is unlike any other: part historical tale, part travelogue, part luxury textbook, this multilayered monograph, penned by Sigmond and photographed by Ian Spanier, takes the reader on a global odyssey that traverses the Old World (Spain, Great Britain, France and Switzerland) and the New (Cuba, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Honduras), as well as up and down the eastern seaboard from Florida to New York City and New England. CIGARS: A Biography brims with colorful characters and fascinating details, as well as firsthand observations gathered during Sigmond’s decades as a renowned cigar doyen, during which his travels have taken him (often accompanied by Spanier) to cigar factories, tobacco farms and the world’s finest cigar merchants and lounges. CIGARS is an educational, entertaining tour de force. This award-winning deluxe first edition is limited to 2,500 copies.
