Its the tasting notes accompanied by lifelike photos of supposedly every CC release post revolution.
It will no doubt be an excellent reference, but it appears to be an example of excessive money extraction.

Really thats it ? I have an app for that

It's a book about cigars Mo. Which from the test pages I've seen so far has the same artistic qualities as a 1950s edition of the Radio Times and support texts which read like they were put together by a Chinese waiter .... but as long as you're willing to swear that the Emperor is wearing his clothes, you can have one for just $5000.

We all know it is difficult to but thoughts into words when writing on forums but I will try

is it a lot of money well I guess that is relevant to what you earn but just remember most people in the world could not afford to smoke a ?20.00 cigar
a lot of products are "over priced" Bentleys come to mind but I bet most would want one.
as I understand this has been a labour of love that has taken years to finish how do you put a price on that? I would love to get my hands on one do I wait to see if there will be "cheaper version" I guess that is some thing I will have to think about
one other point the box and stand do not bother me I should think they would end up in the loft it is the book that is important

You can download 27 pages of the II edition as a pdf file from the link below – will take a minute or two as it is quite “heavy” at 8,6 MB :

Yeah, that's Nino's blog. Given the level of thought that had gone into this, as others have pointed out.. The couple of mistakes are a little disappointing.

Though I'm not sure if this is a true final draft? I assume the books have been printed?

Amazing shout from the peanutgallery
methinks this is the first time I've seen you sincere. Starting to think you were a robot there, Petey!
good show!

i love the gentle moderation you do around here. whenever an inflamed argument burns on the subsections like here, you're always the non-partisan side of reason

Everything in moderation

For anyone really that interested I think the British Library buys a copy of every book published .... though I doubt the Bodleian will bother.

'And moderation in moderation'.

Exactly. There's a place in France where the pictures on the walls are worth more than Cuba, but the catalogues and coffee table books that are their reference are a bit more sensible in their pricing. Now I couldn't afford even a corner of a Gauguin but I can afford the odd cigar, but I don't really need MRN to tell me what they are because I already know, and I don't need his tasting notes either, because when a cigars in my mouth it's only me that's qualified to say what it tastes like!

Spot on, tippexx

Quick question. If this book was $500 instead of $5000 would we be having the same debate. Is the issue that it is overpriced for what it is or that it is out-of-reach?

Just re-read MRN/Ninos comments ...very poor show for so many reasons
