There is a social and cultural examination of the cigar as a statement of class and sex; one reason behind the cigar boom is that is has become chic for women to smoke premium cigars. The trend was led by super models and film stars such as Claudia Schiffer, Sharon Stone, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg many of whom have been featured on the covers of magazines such as Cigar Aficionado and Smoke. He also looks at cigars in art, literature and the movies. In the second chapter, The Cigar from Leaf to Puff of Smoke, Anwer Bati explores the complicated stages from raw leaf to finished cigar.
