Searching for that perfect portrait of a smoke-breathing Orson Welles, JFK or Al Capone for the office wall? Look no further than Nick Foulkes' Cigar Style (Assouline; $18.95), a handsome new tome that features dozens of photographs of history's luminaries puffing away. That's just the back of the book, though; the bulk of these 80 pages contains concise but standard-issue chapters on the history of cigars and their influence on world culture, sprinkled liberally throughout with quotes from the likes of Victor Hugo and Winston Churchill. But in the end, it's all about the images, many of them full-page and in glorious black-and-white -- so much the better to furtively photocopy, under the guise of "making reports for the big meeting," during your lunch break.
