Winter Reading Suggestions

robbyras

I've been smoking for just about a year and have a lot to learn. Any literature that you can suggest? I want to gain some insight into cigars. Wrappers, filler, etc. You know, the basic stuff. But I don't want to get "The Idiots guide to cigars" Thanks!

Haha, I actually ordered the Idiot's Guide and it was surprisingly informative. A lot of the info I had already knew from purusing the web, but there are several nuggets of interesting stuff. My friends definitely didn't let that one go when they found out.

 

Google "Tobacco University" and it should come up with a site that is sponsored by Padron. That site covers pretty much everything about cigars. You can also check out cigarcyclopedia.com's cigar primer. Last, but not least, this forum contains a wealth of information. Be prepared to waste hours of your time.

The idiot's guide is a great book for cigars. I read it when I was first starting out and really really made my smoking experience more enjoyable.

HA! i didn't even realize there was an idiots guide. Maybe I'll pick it up. Thanks guys! I remember there was a post on this site a year ago about "how to smoke a cigar". I printed it out but, as things ten to do, it's disappeared. I can't find the post on here anymore either. Does anyone remember this one?

Yeah, I do remember that one. I tried doing it the way it was suggested and I thought it was a good process. I think it's in the blogs though and not the forums.

Evan hooked me up! Not only did he send the books my way, he included a few things for me to smoke while I read! Very generous! Thanks brother!

Evan is the man. I sent him a cigar book this fall - if he read it and enjoyed it as much as I did, I hope he inluded it in the package to you.

I just ordered the tobacconist handbook from amazon yesterday. Has anyone read this yet?

As a newbie I also almost picked up the "Complete Idiots guide To Cigars", but like most of their books it did not seem to good to me. They have a tendency to water stuff down(of course it is an idiots guide), which is good for a new person but I like in depth detailed stuff. When I go to Borders or Barnes and Noble next time I will check it out. I also want a good beginner book.
