First off, there’s a great deal more information here than I expected. Cigars from all over the world are categorized and subcategorized by many different factors. The outer wrapper (where most of the flavor comes from) determines the taste and the market. Then, there’s the type of filler (long versus short), the shapes, and the dimensions. For each cigar company, there are subtle differences in each of these areas used to make their offerings different from other companies. And for the cigar enthusiast, these differences mean the world.
Jeffers’s history covers a lot of the different companies and how they measure up against each other. But beyond that, he looks at the individuals throughout history that brandished a cigar and tried to popularize them. From Winston Churchill to Groucho Marx to Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jeffers presents a virtual who’s who of famous cigar smokers. On the whole, there’s a lot of information here, but the catalog of famous cigar smokers was a bit tedious. I’d appreciate more history and less paparazzi. An interesting read. (
