    Not Worth The Price Of Entry
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2017*

First and foremost, I recommend reading through the Tobacconist University website entirely before you consider purchasing the book. The TU Handbook provides a slightly different experience than the company's website, but will not be necessary for most readers. It is nice to have a hard copy of a book so you can highlight, annotate, etc. However, aside from that, there's no real benefit to shelling out for the book. Information is the same, with only some changes in phrasing.As far as content is concerned, the TU Handbook is an acceptable introduction for consumers, but should not be the main source of learning for a retail, sales, or master tobacconist. The largest section, which I still found a bit anemic, is dedicated to cigar tobacco.The pipe section is severely lacking, much of the book's content seems a little subjective, and it hasn't been updated since 2009. Most people will learn more by joining an online forum or spending some time at their local cigar shop.My greatest issue was the editorialized stance that TU takes on the benefits of cigars, as well as the common hatred of tobacco products. The industry would be better off with a stiff upper lip, instead of quivering and complaining.All in all, you would be better served by purchasing a copy of the Ultimate Cigar Book, or simply dredging the innumerable internet articles and forums that are available.

    Editorializing overshadows content; too much of the former, not enough of the latter
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2020*

I was excited for the revised edition, but was quickly disappointed. It includes incorrect information, out-of-date information, and a lot of opinions where facts would be beneficial instead. It may be somewhat acceptable for a beginner, but even then I’d suggest other sources of information instead. There’s too much editorializing and not enough good information.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    covers lots of ground, but superficial
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2021*

This one disappointed me. It does cover the tobacco field (that's a pun), but rather superficially. For example in a chapter on different rolling techniques, the book lists the main variations, but does not describe them at all! The whole book is like that. Good broad coverage. No detail.
