Customer Reviews

One of a kind reference

The reviewer who indicated that this book was only a list was apparently unaware that the book is intended to be a definitive list of cigars available in the U.S. It is a reference work -- indeed, the only one of its kind -- and is not meant to be a guide to ratings, taste or quality of individual brands. Other books and magazines cover those things, but remember that specific rating information is often outdated by the time you read it. Cigars of the same manufacturer and type vary from year to year in taste and quality just as wines do...and for many of the same reasons. Perelman's includes nuggets about where the filler, binder and wrapper of specific cigars comes from whenever possible. Sometimes, the information isn't released by the maker, other times it changes because of weather or political conditions. But this book is the only reference that comes close to providing complete coverage of this kind of fundamental information. As a specialized reference, Perelman's Cyclopedia is both unique and invaluable. Highly recommended for those looking for definitive cigar information.
