A Better Guide than others
This book is one of the better basic guidez . it provides suggestions, websites and added info on cigars that the others don't have. For a basic book for the beginner,I wou!d suggest this book first

I've been smoking for about a year but this book is intended for people who want to start next week. There is some useful info and the book is short enough (and cheap enough) that I'd recommend it for beginners with a year or less experience.

The title says it all. It is a basic book about cigars. It is not a bad starting point but does lack some depth.

This was a short book about all the basics of cigars. However there were several things missing about this book that you could find by a short google search. This book only barely skimmed the basics of cigar smoking and etiquette. I would suggest finding a good website or even a youtube channel about cigars and you will learn much more then this book has to offer.
