By Barnaby Conrad III.
Whether it's delicately puffed in a smoking room after dinner or covertly sucked on after school, the cigar has a special place in modern history, which this book amply proves. Great figures in history like Mark Twain, Evelyn Waugh, Sigmund Freud and Groucho Marx were all enthusiasts, as were George Sand, Fidel Castro and Lucille Ball. Here, all aspects of this luxurious pleasure are covered, from the early years of hand rolled cigars through the Cuban cigar embargo and into the modern cigar renaissance. Includes a special section on how to properly choose and smoke a cigar for the uninitiated.
