El Habano Moderno: A Collector’s Guide to Cuban Cigars in the Modern Era is a compelling new title authored by renowned Cuban cigar specialist Alexander Groom, the man behind Cuban Cigar Website. The definitive book on Cuban cigars of the modern era, El Habano Moderno is a comprehensive, beautifully illustrated collector’s guide presented in two parts. The first part gives a brief overview of the history of the Cuban cigar, along with detailed analysis of the various details and methods that can be used to date and authenticate Cuban cigars of any time period. The second part presents detailed information on each and every release of Cuban cigar produced in the modern era, beginning in the early 2000s. It includes detailed information on more than 1,000 cigars, illustrated with high-quality photographic illustrations (most of which were created especially for this work). This section also includes important details related to packaging, sizes, and release dates and quantities.

The beautiful Collector’s Edition is presented in two volumes, each bound in linen and with tipped-on volume markings in the style of the desirable ‘diplomatic’ bands seen on certain rare cigars. These volumes feature crisp debossing and gold foil, as befits a luxury product such as this. The two volumes are presented in a dress-style ‘cigar’ box.

The 2nd Edition of the book incorporates updates through 2023. The dress box for the 2nd edition will be a vivid red and blue, and the linen cover a salmon tone.

This is a pre-order item. The 2nd Ed. Collector’s Edition is expected to ship in 2024.
