Introduced in English in 1996, "The Habana Cigar" provides a substantial contribution to the literature surrounding premium Cuban tobacco. This impressive volume spans 228 pages and arrives in a generous large format hardcover edition, measuring 305mm by 240mm—a size that befits the visual subject matter at hand.
The primary content of the work is presented in full colour, allowing readers to appreciate the rich visual heritage of Cuban cigar culture. However, collectors and readers should note that the annexure featuring cigar images is rendered in black and white, a practical decision that nonetheless preserves the reference value of these visual guides.
For the cigar enthusiast seeking to build a reference library, this title offers a solid foundation. The substantial page count suggests comprehensive coverage of its subject matter, while the hardcover binding ensures durability for years of consultation. The 1996 publication date places it firmly within the modern era of cigar literature revival, making it a relevant resource for understanding the landscape of Habanos during that significant period.
