Decoding Cigar Bands

Book Description
I have always admired the aesthetics found in cigar labels - the intricate details, gentle curves, and bright colors seem to have a special story to tell. However, most of the time this story goes untold as labels are given a quick glance, then thrown away with the ashes. As a cigar smoker myself, my artistic pursuit has been to bring to life the stories of my cigar labels. I aim to reach out to those who readily identify with the subject matter, and provide them with a new perspective from which to view the labels most now simply toss aside. For those who have never taken an interest in cigars, I hope to inspire an appreciation for the history and aesthetic beauty of cigar labels through my interpretive work.
