Like the pop of a Champagne cork, the flick of the lighter or the strike of the match and the first draw of smoke are synonymous with celebration, relaxation and camaraderie. A luxurious pause from the surrounding world, 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 and 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 the Dominican Republic’s Arturo Fuente and Davidoff of Geneva, Honduras’s Rocky Patel to the Bahamas’ Graycliff, and, of course, Cuba’s arsenal of legendary smokes, Sigmond’s is a list any connoisseur could only dream of.

Housed in a lacquer-finished box that holds real accessories to convert the clam shell case of the book into a truly functional humidor, this handcrafted special edition of The Impossible Collection of Cigars, limited to 250 copies, is produced by Compass Box and features hand-tipped cigar bands. A necessity for the most discerning of cigar connoisseurs, each purchase also includes a complimentary black “A” book stand to display your book, and a humidor accessories pack containing two humidification elements and a hygrometer.
