"I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form."
- Winston Churchill
In the highly anticipated new volume in Assouline's bestselling Ultimate Collection, The Impossible Collection of Cigars envisions the ultimate humidor brimming with the most remarkable cigars of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries from the most prestigious makers. Like the pop of the Champagne cork, the flick of the lighter or the strike of the matchand the first draw of the smoke are synonymous with celebration, relaxation, and comradery. A luxurious pause from the world around, an exceptional, hand-rolled cigar has cemented itself as a civilized passion and genteel hobby over the course of centuries.
The Impossible Collection of Cigars is a bid for readers to journey to the fabled Cuban tobacco farms, get up close and personal with the torcedores (master cigar rollers) as they discover the world's most commendable and coveted cigars. Considering the differences and attributes of cigars like Nicaragua's Padrón to Dominican Republic's Arturo Fuenteand Davidoff of Geneva, Honduras' Rocky Patel to the Bahamas' Gray cliff, and, of course, Cuba's arsenal of legendary smokes, Sigmond's is a list any connoisseur could only dream of.
