Contraband Smoke: Hidden Roles of Cigars in History reveals how a simple cigar has shaped wars, toppled regimes, fueled revolutions, and left its mark on legends. From the American Civil War to the Cold War, cigars were more than luxury—they were tools of espionage, symbols of defiance, and catalysts of history.

Step into the smoke-filled rooms where world leaders made pivotal decisions. Discover how Special Order 191, wrapped with cigars, altered the course of the Civil War, and how the CIA once plotted to assassinate Fidel Castro with a rigged cigar. Walk alongside John F. Kennedy as he quietly stockpiled his favorite Petit Upmanns the night before signing the Cuban embargo. These are not just stories of tobacco—they are stories of power, secrecy, and influence.

Readers will explore the cigar’s role in diplomacy, intelligence, and organized crime. From Churchill’s iconic Romeo y Julieta Churchills to Castro’s Cohiba Lanceros and Hemingway’s Havana rituals, cigars became symbols that defined eras and identities. Even in the shadows of Mafia backrooms, the dark Maduro leaf served as a badge of dominance and ritual.

At the same time, this book highlights the cigars themselves—the brands, blends, and factories behind the smoke. Learn how Cuban cigar makers in Tampa supported José Martí’s revolution, how contraband Montecristos slipped past embargoes, and how cigar companies intertwined with both legitimate trade and black-market empires. History is told not only through battles and treaties, but through the cigars men lit while making them.

With its blend of cultural history and rich storytelling, Contraband Smoke is perfect for readers of military history, political intrigue, and cigar culture alike. Whether you’re a seasoned cigar aficionado, a history buff, or simply curious about the hidden intersections of luxury and power, this book opens a fresh perspective on world events.

Engaging, meticulously researched, and written with narrative flair, Contraband Smoke: Hidden Roles of Cigars in History proves that sometimes the most unassuming objects—like a roll of leaf and smoke—carry the greatest weight in shaping our past.
