Cigars - A Biography by Aaron Sigmond

Aaron Sigmond’s fifth book on the subject of cigars is unlike any other: part 600 year historical tale, part global travelogue, part luxury textbook. Penned by Sigmond and lavishly photographed by Ian Spanier, this tome traverses the Old World (Spain, Great Britain, France and Switzerland) and the New (Cuba, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Honduras and Mexico, as well as up and down the Eastern Seaboard of the United States from Florida to New York City and Connecticut).

CIGARS: a biography brims with colourful characters and fascinating details, as well as first hand observations gathered during Sigmond’s decades as a renowned cigar doyen, during which his travels have taken him (often accompanied by Spanier) to cigar factories, tobacco farms and the world’s finest cigar merchants and lounges. CIGARS: a biography is an educational, entertaining tour de force.

This limited first edition, with a foreword by The Rake editor Tom Chamberlin, comes from award-winning boutique book publisher Mad/Dash Press in a cigar case inspired slip case.
