As the previous reviewers have said, this is a great resource for the beginner cigar smoker. At 56 pages, there are going to be some topics you wish were fleshed out in more detail for sure. As a primer to the subject though, there is a lot more here than its size would lead you to think. The information on judging the quality of a single, how to judge a cigar based on its ash, how to properly light and smoke a cigar, and how to spot fake Cubans are all straight to the point and things that everyone ready to give cigars a shot should know.

As a true beginner looking to learn more about cigars, I found this book to be extremely helpful. The book’s clear language and easy to follow structure made it very informative. I had little knowledge on the subject of cigars prior to reading it. However after finishing it I feel confident enough to be able to purchase and properly enjoy a good quality cigar.

I found this to be a well written and interesting book on a topic that I had previously thought I had no interest in. It was very informative and I would definately recommend this book to anyone with an interest in smoking cigars or just increasing their knowledge of the subject.

Unless you are an absolute beginner, this book has nothing to teach you. If you are a beginner, there is more and better information on the internet. It is really a pamphlet rather than a book, despite the $9.97 price tag even for the Kindle version. Typical is the “chapter” on the history of cigars, which is a whole five (short) paragraphs long.
The pamphlet is put out by [...]. They evidently value cash over editing, because there are many grammatical errors. My favorite is a self-promotion blurb that reads, “[...] is a new site coming soon with practical information about the fun, exciting, ridicules (sic), and interesting things you can do with a little cash.” “Ridicules” indeed.

This is a great little resource book about cigars! I would highly recommend this book for quick and easy references on learning about all aspects of cigars. From understanding the differences, purchasing, how-to, etc. This is a well-written, organized, and easy to understand book. Anyone wanting to expand their knowledge of cigars would benifit from this book.
