Aaron Sigmond’s fifth book on cigars is unlike any other: part historical tale, part travelogue, part luxury textbook, this multilayered monograph, penned by Sigmond and photographed by Ian Spanier, takes the reader on an odyssey that traverses the Old World (Spain, Great Britain, France and Switzerland) and the New (Cuba, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Honduras and Mexico, as well as up and down the eastern seaboard from Florida to New York City and New England).

CIGARS: a biography brims with colorful characters and fascinating details, as well as firsthand observations gathered during Sigmond’s decades as a renowned cigar doyen, during which his travels have taken him (often accompanied by Spanier) to cigar factories, tobacco farms and the world’s finest cigar merchants and lounges. CIGARS: a biography is an educational, entertaining tour de force.

This limited first edition by award-winning boutique book imprint Mad/Dash Press comes in a cigar case-inspired slip case and is set for release May 2025.

Poet and artist Ana María Caballero’s Book Sculptures are an eight-part series that questions how society values poetry. This series proposes the book as a sculptural object, and will see Caballero print eight different books, each as an edition of one, with a unique ISBN and the anatomy and structure of a traditional book.

The books in this series contain only one poem, printed 197 times in their pages. When taken as integers, the digits in 197 add up eventually to 8, a number that represents abundance.

Four editions of Book Sculptures have been released: The Wish, Another Airport Poem, Milk and Echo Graph.
