From Ancient Rituals to Modern Icons...
From the smoky temples of Chichén Itzá in the ancient world to the bustling tobacconist shops of Victorian London, to modern-day lounges thumping with hip hop, cigars have been more than just rolls of dried tobacco; they’ve been storytellers, cultural icons, and agents of change...
The Time Traveler’s Guide to Cigar Culture isn’t just a book about cigars. It’s an invitation to explore how this deceptively simple product of nature has shaped—and been shaped by—human endeavor.
"I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful history of the famed leaf, from its origins to the present day. Garofalo does an amazing job telling the story of how the industry got to where it is now and the struggles along the way. This is a must-read for any lover of cigars and history. A great book you will treasure and pass down to family members."

"This is the book the cigar lover has been looking for... it's a page-turner, but more than that, it's a great gift for any cigar enthusiast. As a history buff, I enjoyed learning some things that I definitely was not aware of in cigar history, but as a cigar lover, this is the type of book that I want sitting on my coffee table. I highly recommend putting it into your library – and adding it to your own coffee table!
