A hand rolled cigar is a work of art - a craftsman-made item, part of an almost lost world which predates the hurried modern era of industrialisation and instant satisfaction. The cigar has inspired many of the great writers of the past to sing its praises in poetry and prose. This little book is an anthology of interesting poems, facts, opinions, tips and quotes written over the last two centuries on the subject of cigars; carefully picked, stored and aged to perfection.
