Know Thy Smoke: The Best Cuban Cigar Books

Some say that knowledge is power and the key to better understanding the world around us. We, for once, are amongst these people. In fact, that’s our motto when it comes to Cuban Cigars. Enjoying a fine smoke is one thing but discovering its history and heritage is something that fascinates both the cigar aficionado and the beginner alike. Although online platforms and the internet have outgrown other sources of knowledge, establishing itself as the primary source of information, there are certain books that tell us more about Cuban Cigars Online than any website ever will. Without any further ado, in today’s post, we take a look at the four Best Cuban Cigars books on the market, discussing why they worth a read.

“THE EASIEST YET MOST ELABORATE GUIDE”

THE CONNOISSEUR'S BOOK OF THE CIGAR – Successful businessman and tobacco expert, Zino Davidoff and his book are certainly on the top of our list. From the historical significance of Cuban cigars to the proper ways of lighting a smoke, The Connoisseur’s Book of the Cigar is the bible to every proper cigar enthusiast. Known to the world as the “King of Cigars”, the Russian born Zino ran a tobacco specialist shop in Switzerland which, soon after its launch, attracted international customers, making the Davidoff business a worldwide phenomenon.  An experienced tobacconist and an avid cigar aficionado, Zino’s book is the easiest yet most elaborate guide on how to either cut your cigar or light a perfect Cohiba Behike 54.

A GUIDE BY NICHOLAS FOULKES – If you are looking to greatly expand your knowledge within the cigar industry, Nicholas Foulkes’ book is here to save the day. Cigar: A Guide by Nicholas Foulkes narrates the long-lasting yet enticing history of the tobacco world. However, Foulke’s guide goes beyond the superficiality of simply discussing the origins of Cohiba Cigars or just narrating the background story and heritage of Herman Upmann, the founding father of Upmann Cigars. In this book, the world-renowned expert Nicholas Foulkes introduces the legends, myths or unknown facts that have somehow shaped the cigar world to what it is today. Therefore, if you are wondering about the history of the tobacco plantations in the Pinar del Rio Province, which is popular for providing premium tobacco leaves for excellent cigars like the H. Upmann Sir Winston Gran Reserva Cosecha 2011 Cigar, Foulkes’ guide is just the right book for you.
