Wirtz, cigar connoisseur and renowned author, has published a biography timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Zino Davidoff’s birth that successfully recounts the life and philosophy of the world’s most renowned cigar connoisseur in a lively and well-informed manner. The entertaining work is a piece of exciting contemporary history that throws new light on many aspects of the master cigarmaker’s life. A book that promises plenty of reading pleasure – not only for cigar aficionados! |

75-Rud04 OUT OF PRINT
South Africa's Theo Rudman set
out to produce a pocket-sized booklet
that would list every size, of every model, of every brand, of every cigar,
of every country.
The 4th edition updates the "Cuban Cigar Directory" listing every cigar exported
since 2000
- 33 brands, 341 models/styles, in 420 finishes. The "World Directory" lists
thousands of
non-Cuban cigars - covering 534 brands made in 24 countries.
And the book offers
more than that - history and manufacture of cigars; quick reference to
cigar terms; how to select, smoke, store your cigars (including a temperature/humidity
conversion chart); major cigar manufacturers; Cuban box markings; cigar
shops of the world (including South Africa), clubs, magazines, books.
An invaluable source of information - our copies are constantly in use.
In compliance with South Africa's anti-smoking laws, this book can only be sold through tobacconists, and catering establishments that sell cigars.
Note: Sadly, Theo passed away late 2004, but his book is still an invaluable guide to the cigars available up to that date, and a source of help and information to both new and experienced cigar smokers.

late Theo Rudman.
Richard
Carleton Hacker is the world's foremost writer on the pleasures
of tobacco.
He is the most honoured personality in the pipe fraternity, the media
has christened him "the Czar of Cigars",
and his books are listed as
important reference works by the Encyclopaedia Americana.
But far more important, his books are very easy to read, filled with
information and well illustrated.
Vivid phrases flow through his writing - "the baptism of fire" relating
to the lighting of a cigar,
and on the end of a pipeful of tobacco "the
glowing bits of tobacco will fade, the embers will die,
the final curl
of gray smoke will curl up and away, …".
Rick
Hacker tells the stories behind the stories in a witty and entertaining
manner.
We heartily recommend his books.
