Extrêmement rare et difficile à trouver, un ouvrage incontournable pour l'amateur de cigares averti :

An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Post-Revolution Havana Cigars
de Min Ron Nee

En excellent état. La jaquette a parfaitement rempli son rôle protecteur et a légèrement pâli, laissant la couverture du livre intacte.

L'ouvrage présente toutes les grandes marques cubaines ainsi que les *vitolas* originales qui ont fait le succès de Cohiba, Trinidad, Montecristo, Partagas, H. Upmann, Bolivar, Romeo y Julieta et autres grandes maisons...

information from cubancigarwebsite :

The original English language version of this book was first published in January 2003. It is a 492 page large format (305mm x 235mm) hardcover book, printed in full colour on quality paper.

A second printing of the first English language edition was published in July 2005. There was no new information in this printing, but it did include corrections to minor errors within the first printing.

This is arguably the ultimate book on post-revolutionary Havana Cigars. It is informative, scholarly, and an excellently presented reference book. An absolute must for anyone interested in Cuban cigars.

It is clearly set out in a "dictionary" format, with colour-coded printing indicating main text, authors notes, comments by Adriano Martinez Rius (Honorary Consultant), production status etc. It also includes the authors comments on tasting notes with particular reference to aging of cigars.

This first edition represents a snap-shot of the Habanos range at of 31 December 2002. Much of the current, discontinued and production status is out of date and (naturally) no post 2003 releases are included (except for the German edition), but this in no way detracts from this book.

The author (who adopts the nom de plume of "Min Ron Nee") has revealed that the original edition was somewhat of a compromise, in that some information was left out to keep the book to a manageable 500 page limit, and the publication was rushed to keep a promised deadline for the February 2003 Habanos Festival.
