TRUST me. This book is by far the best thing you could ever buy as a referrece for our hobby. I've had mine for a couple months and don't think that I've ever seen so much information in one place.... OUSTANDING.
Also, the reason it is not availible in the States is that it is only being sold in LCDH's and via authorized distributors of Cuban Cigars, i.e. H&K, etc.
