This classic guide to the world of cigars covers everything from their history and traditions to tips on selecting, storing and enjoying the perfect cigar.

Written by Richard Carleton Hacker, one of the world’s most acclaimed pipe and cigar authors, The Ultimate Cigar Book offers a highly informative and engaging exploration of virtually every facet of cigar making and smoking. A classic of cigar literature since it was first published in 1993, this fourth edition continues to set the standard for today’s aficionados.

Combining insider knowledge with a raconteur’s wit, Hacker takes readers on a world tour of cigars. Starting with a history of cigar smoking, he then delves into the various ways cigars are made today. Hacker shares the secrets of finding the “perfect” cigar, the time-honored rituals of smoking, and the best techniques for care and storage. He also discusses a range of popular cigar accessories, and even suggests which beers, wines, whiskeys, brandies, and cognacs go with what cigars.

After a colorful recap of cigar smoking celebrities, Hacker concludes with an international compendium of virtually every cigar brand known today, complete with historical profiles and observations on taste according to the author’s personal—and admittedly prejudice—ratings. If that was not enough, there is even a dictionary of CigarSpeak!

Love this book. Loved sitting and enjoying cigars while reading this. Walk into my local humidor a vastly different person. Well informed, armed with jargon, etiquette, and supreme confidence.

Great read, damaged book

The book itself is a great read. As many of you may already know, this book is the gold standard of knowledge for many cigar manufacturers. Said companies require their tobacconists to read this book before accepting a position.

With that being said,
The book is great!
It arrived slightly damaged, but that doesn't affect the actual rating or quality of the book.

It's a highly informative, entertaining, one-way conversation with the author.

This was an interesting read. It's full of information about cigars, from the history of them and the brands, to how they're made, how to purchase, store, and smoke them, and regional preferences and habits. However, the book doesn't read like a standard history and interest book but more like a conversation. One should read this book as if the author was talking to you in a smokeasy while you were each relaxing with your own cigar, thus hearing his point of view and experience in the hobby.

The short review: A really good reference and history book that a serious cigar hobbyist should have in their library, just ignore the author's occasional hubris.

My complaints:
The author toots his own horn multiple times, for example "..so if you see it elsewhere, you'll know where it came from -- this book". For me, coming from the software engineering world, this sounds like something a marketing person would do and -- what do you know -- that's the world he came from. It's a turn-off for me. If I'm dying to know where it came from I'll look at the references or footnotes.

Pictures are not great and several would be better (have more impact) if they were larger in size. Same for some of the illustrations, particularly the primary growing regions. The one picture that makes no sense in terms of visual information is the one of the five cigars showing the shading of five wrapper colors, from maduro to claro, and it's in black & white! I think having a professional photography editor would be very helpful in the overall aesthetic and visual information characteristics of the book.

His self-branded HPH scale seems superfluous given many popular cigar outlets already give a scale of light/mild, medium, or full and thus smokers would adjust their tastes accordingly.

While I like examples, some of the metaphors used aren't common enough for the larger "common [middle class] person" demographic and could turn off some readers. For example, in the way he describes the word "different" as "...the way Beef Wellington is different from Chateaubriand." I think far more people would get the meaning if "Mercedes" and "BMW" were used instead.

Chapter 7 was boring and seemed more like an excuse to name names than pair the highly subjective tastes of spirits to cigar builds (binder, filler, wrapper combinations). Rums go great with cigars but that was given little press and barely a sip was given to coffee; not a spirit, agreed, but quite popular with cigars nonetheless! It might as well have been a chapter on pairing cigars with exotic cars, flowers, or sneakers.

Chapter 8 is interesting but not particularly helpful. The history aspect of some of the brands is good but references to specific cigars I found immaterial.

Given the wealth of information spattered throughout this book an index would be a very smart move for the next edition, especially for Chapter 8!

Overall:
A good source of information that I recommend getting for the cigar enthusiast. Being American I liked knowing about how other countries consume cigars; how the brands spread from Cuba, where they are popular, etc. There's so much information that I learned (e.g. "dry" cigars!) so I really do appreciate and understand the dedication and knowledge collection the author has but let's see just a little less of that self-marketing braggadocio in his next edition.

Needs better photography, more informational graphics, better design

I would love to see a new edition with professional photography, art direction and quality image editing. With the world of cigars being such a richly visual field, it would make for a much meatier and enjoyable publication.

The positive: as this reviewer's first cigar companion book, I've found it enjoyable and full of expert info, from the basics to the more erudite facts. The author has a very personable, informal tone, comfortable for a cigar beginner, yet expert and knowledgeable enough for the more advanced.

Unfortunately, the author's own photographs seem to be used almost exclusively to illustrate the book, and while this may be part of the friendly, one-on-one tone, it results in a of lack visual strength and graphic presence. Think of great informational graphics such as large charts with all different cigar shapes and sizes compared side by side, wrapper types differentiated well, line illustrations in the terminology section, etc. Instead, we get far too many photographs of the author at different cigar-related locations, plus a good number of poorly exposed, quickly composed snapshots.

The book would definitely be enriched by quality photography, as well as contemporary informational graphics, charts, maps and a more generous use of the rich imagery of tobacciana.
