Review: I expected the cyclopedia to include pictures of the cigar bands. It doesn't. Without a rosetta stone to correlate the listing in the cyclopedia to the actual cigar, it's pretty usless to me.
The info listed; shape, name, length, ring, and wrapper; can already be found any number of places on the Net.

Review: If your looking for a definitive listing of all the cigars on the market today, this is it. Don't kid yourself and think this is anything more than what it is...a paper database of the world's cigars. if that is what your looking for, you have found it.

Summary: Perelman's Cigar Book
Review: More photographs would have been helpful. Pictures of the entire line of each brand, with a close-up of one band, would have been much more useful than much of the text. The proliferation of commercial ads brings the integrity of already subjective commentary into question. Objective information, such as country of origin, is much more useful overall. All that being said, the book has it's uses, and was a fair value at the purchase price.

Summary: The Bible for the cigar industry.
Review: Pearlman's lists 97% of the cigars on the markettoday. Published yearly, the book has been growing in leaps and boundsfor the past 3 years. We are in the cigar business, and when someone calls us and asks about a cigar and we've never heard of it the first place we look is Pearlmans. A must for anyone in the cigar business and a bargain at $12! Also includes interesting information and facts about tobacco growing, curing, rolling, etc.

Summary: No real added value
Review: Perelman's Pocket cyclopedia doesn't rate cigars, it's only a list of all non-cuban brands and their size, so don't plan any buys in Cuba with this book. This book is also of a small size (pocket size) as well as his font size which makes it quite difficult to read.
