Résumé

For over 250 years, cigars have been more than a luxury-they have shaped American history, industry, and culture. America's Cigar Story is a meticulously researched yet engaging exploration of how cigars evolved from colonial indulgence to cultural staple, influencing politics, business, and society along the way. The book begins in 1762, when Lt. Col. Israel Putnam first introduced Cuban cigars and tobacco seeds to the American colonies.
It follows the rise of the cigar industry through the 19th century, highlighting the bustling cigar factories of New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida, where Black and immigrant labor fueled a booming trade. The book also examines cigars' deep ties to American war history, from the Civil War-where soldiers found solace in tobacco-to the infamous "smoke-filled rooms" of political power where major decisions were made.
One of the most defining moments in cigar history, the 1962 Cuban Embargo, reshaped the industry overnight. With Cuban cigars banned in the U. S., manufacturers turned to Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and Honduras, ushering in a new era of cigar craftsmanship. The book explores how this shift transformed global cigar production and how, decades later, the 1990s cigar boom-fueled by celebrity culture and the rise of Cigar Aficionado-sparked an unexpected resurgence in premium cigars.
Through engaging storytelling and historical analysis, America's Cigar Story brings to life the craftsmanship, resilience, and traditions that have defined cigars in American culture. Whether you're a cigar aficionado, a history buff, or simply curious about cigars' enduring place in society, this book offers an insightful and enjoyable journey through one of America's most fascinating industries.
