Summary: A good general history with beautiful illustrations
Review: This is an enjoyable, informative history of the Cuban cigar industry, various Habanos brands and factories, with the most gorgeous photos of cigar box illustrations and cigar bands. The author nicely avoids an overabundance of details, and has organized the material quite thoughtfully. It is a real pity that his history goes no further than 1960 when the industry was nationalized; one is left with a definate sense of incompleteness. Perhaps Mr.Infante plans a sequel to this fine book; there is no doubt that Habanophiles would greatly appreciate one.
