Written by Zino Davidoff — the legendary Geneva-based tobacconist whose name became synonymous with luxury and refinement — this classic work chronicles the rich history, artistry, and culture of the premium cigar, from its origins in the tobacco fields of Cuba to the hushed elegance of the world's finest smoking rooms.\n\nTranslated from the French by Lawrence Grow, with the collaboration of Gilles Lambert, the text carries the unmistakable voice of a true connoisseur: authoritative yet deeply personal, passionate yet precise. Davidoff instructs the reader in the art of selecting, cutting, lighting, and storing cigars, while presenting a broader meditation on taste, pleasure, and the rituals that elevate everyday life into something approaching art. A landmark in lifestyle literature, this volume remains as indispensable to the seasoned aficionado as it is revelatory to the uninitiated — leaving one to wonder whether the greatest luxury on earth might simply be knowing how to savour it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50573119717595,"sku":"2026100011266-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c29c3a74-3716-43c7-852c-3aa54eb5d403.png?v=1791167766","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011266-secondhand-the-connoisseurs-book-of-the-cigar","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
