Some backstory, I actually purchased this copy in London at Harrods around 2004. It's been sitting on the shelf ever since. At the time I may have even posted a pic on this forum of my purchases... Long time ago and many cigars smoked... lol 🙂 I'd appreciate anyone's help.

Thanks,

I think... 🤦

You should be able to get a few hundred for it. During it's time it was the definitive source on CC's. I always liked the to scale cigar pictures in it. Most of the info in it is dated and more up-to-date information can be found on the internet. Min Ron Nee's input and knowledge was minimal compared to Adriano Martinez Rius'. Plus the guy is a first class ass. 🌫

The 2nd edition came out last year, it's multiple volumes and cost around $10k. There were only like 2000 sets printed IIRC.

What you have is 1st edition, 2nd printing. The only difference between it and the 1st ed, initial printing are some minor error corrections. I've seen both sell for as much as $650 on fleabay.

Not to quibble but has this actually been released? I"ve heard ppl say that from time to time but no one seems to be able to verify it is actually in the wild

I had thought it was finally released last year, a couple years after pre-orders started, but I now believe you are correct, that it is still in limbo.

Sounds like there might be a proof copy out there in the hands of the author though. /shrug

****, just realized that post was from 2014. I dunno now...

Still conceding that you might be right though.
