New Year’s Eve is here and that means indulging in lots of stuff that’s bad for you. We’ll let you choose the booze, but do you know what cigar to whip out as the night approaches?
Perelman’s 2009 Pocket Cyclopedia of Cigars is here to help. Compiled and edited by cigar expert
Rich Perelman, the 15th annual Pocket Cyclopedia of Cigars is geared for guys who want the fine points on
handmade, machine-made and small cigars.
In addition to detailed listings for more than 7,500 models of cigars, the
672-page Pocket Cyclopedia includes chapters on cigar basics – construction,
shapes, sizes and how to enjoy cigars – and The Cigar Almanac. The almanac
chapter includes listings of which brands are new, which have gone to the
graveyard and lists of the longest, shortest, fattest and thinnest cigars on
the market, plus specialty cigars and even a review of the old Cigar Bowl
college football game, held in Tampa from 1947-54.
The Pocket Cyclopedia only focuses on cigars available in the United States. If you want to be a bad boy and smoke Cubans on New Years, you’ll need Perelman’s Pocket Cyclopedia of Havana Cigars. You’ll find both books at your friendly neighborhood tobacconist or at www.CigarCyclopedia.com.

The book is a great way to decide what you’re looking for if you don’t smoke cigars. But if you smoke cigars, it’s just best if you go to your local cigar store, pick out cigars, and try them! You never know if you like it until you try it!

I agree but if you know your cogars you can get them anywhere- providing you know how they store them. If you like a specific brand of cigar then you can buy them online alot cheaper then in a store.
