I currently have subscriptions to two magazines, Smoke and Cigar Aficionado. What are some good cigar related books and are there any other cigar related magazines?
Cigar Books & Magazines
- Thread starter PSTAN
- Start date
I bought The Cigar book by Conrad Barnaby. More of a history of cigars thing. Intresting tidbits such as how a soon to be executed prisoner requesting a smoke was started, as well as other interesting information. Other good stuff:
-Every year since 1831, Cuba sends Spain the best Cohibas and Trinidads to honor Spain allowing Cuba to cultivate and sell tabacco on their own.
-Sigmund Freud smoked 15 cigars a day
-Fidel doesn't smoke, something having to do with a UN anti-smoking campaign that he is gung-ho about
-The Spaniards were the first to smoke the cigar as we know it, the natives wrapped the tabacco in Maize or other plants.
-The "churchill" is of course named after Winston Churchill, Romeo y Julieta named Winston's favorite size of smoke after him.
-Mark Twain smoked the cheapest, smelliest dog rockets that he could find
Plenty of other stuff as well, an excellent read.

Inflatus - I like the Smoke magazine but like many others I read some months just suck.
SFG75 - "The Cigar" looks interesting, I haven't heard of it till now.
Shadow - Never heard of the Eurpean Cigar Cult Journal till now. Apparently I need to check it out since it got so many nominations.

I wonder if it is only in certain geographic areas for Barnes & Noble because out of the 3 that I visit I have not seen it. Then again, I did not know to look for it but I will next time.

I'll have to find it over the internet because the 3 Barnes & Nobels are located a good distance from me and I am not what you would consider a regular.

It's printed in two languages, German & English. Each edition has the same articles in both languages in the same magazine.

It's an expensive book, and if the shipping is even mildly reasonable it's a great deal.
