The Perelman's Pocket Cyclopedia of Cigars is an annually published and updated reference of cigar brands available in the United States, including specifications and information regarding each cigar, as well as basic cigar knowledge in general, such as wrapper colours and shapes and sizes. There is also an 'Almanac' section which includes a list of new brands and those that have been discontinued since the last edition, details about 'ancient' brands that are still in production, a list of unusual cigars (with multicolored wrappers, for example), a list of the smallest and largest cigars available (by length and ring gauge), and more.
