I waited quite a while before getting a copy earlier this year, figuring that I'd rather spend $120 on cigars. Now I really wish I had gotten it earlier, though; this is a beautiful book.

With all due respect, you could not be more wrong. This incredible book, known as the "bible" of the cuban cigar world was produced in very small quantities and never sold thru booksellers such as Barnes & Noble or Amazon. It will not appear in "clearance bins" anywhere ever.
I just got it in the mail. Only thing is that one of the corners is a bit dinged up despite all the bubble wrapping. It's no big deal though. Flipping through it last night, good looking pictures. Can't wait to go through it in detail.

IMHO, the book is over rated. the author seems to be a little to in love with himself. best i can say about him is he has an impressive cigar collection

if you buy the book, you buy it for the wealth of information it contains and the beautiful pictures it has...
Ditto. The book really is a must if you enjoy CCs.

No doubt, the pictures are beautiful. And some of his opinions are interesting. but to insist that smoking a cigar with less than 2 years of age on it reeks of cigar snobbery
