It's the only cigar book with authoritative
coverage of cigars marketed nationally in the United States, published annually beginning in 1995. The Perelman's Pocket Cyclopedia of Cigars offers unique insights into the brands which make up the dynamic U.S. cigar market in a comprehensive annual snapshot.
From the Introduction
The renaissance continues.
That's the story for cigar brands for 2005, as increased consumption led to the introduction
and return of more than 100 cigar brands for the second consecutive year.
After receding in five consecutive editions from 2000-04, the number of cigar brands profiled
jumped from 1,091 in the 2005 edition to 1,206 for 2006, a jump of almost 11%.
The all-time high of 1,448 cigar brands was reached in 1999. We may get there again.
Here are a few tips to help users of this book, to make your exploration and cigar brand research efforts more fun:
About this cigar reference book:
We have provided critical details on a lot of cigars. A total of 1,206 cigar brands are profiled,
comprising more than 5,000 models. That's a lot more than the 370 cigar brands we started with in our inaugural edition in 1995.
We note that our listing represents virtually every cigar brand marketed nationally.
Readers will find some cigar brands which are not listed here, but which are available at his or her local smoke shop.
These brands are very likely:
- Private label or unbranded cigars offered by major manufacturers, on which store names are placed for local sale;
- House brands produced for individual cigar lounges, mail-order houses or retailers, which are not available through
wholesalers for national distribution to tobacco stores;
- Cigars produced by small, local factories and marketed regionally, or brands which are still available nationally,
but without any active marketing effort behind them;
- New lines introduced after this book was completed;
- Close-outs (still widely sold!) or discontinued brands no longer produced or available from manufacturers.
This should not dissuade readers from trying or enjoying these cigars. We actively encourage everyone to
try new cigars and refrain from the kind of "cigar snobbery" which is so easy for premium cigar smokers to fall into.
The best cigar you will ever smoke might be the next one you try.
