Aaron Sigmond’s fifth book on cigars is unlike any other — part 600-year history, part world tour, and part guide to refined living. Written by Sigmond and beautifully photographed by Ian Spanier, this volume explores both the Old World (Spain, Great Britain, France, and Switzerland) and the New (Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexico, and the Eastern Seaboard of the United States from Florida to New York and Connecticut).
CIGARS: a biography is filled with vivid characters, rich history, and fascinating details, along with first-hand insights gathered over Sigmond’s decades as one of the cigar world’s most respected authorities. His travels — often alongside Spanier — have taken him to legendary tobacco fields, cigar factories, and the finest cigar merchants and lounges around the world. The result is both an education and an adventure — a truly entertaining and authoritative work.
This limited first edition, featuring a foreword by The Rake editor Tom Chamberlin, is published by the award-winning boutique house Mad/Dash Press and presented in a slipcase inspired by a classic cigar case.
