Travels of An Epicure was considered an instant classic on its release in 2019 and has gone on to win an army of worldwide readers with its exotic tales and incredible characters, straight from the pen of world-renowned lifestyle writer, Nick Hammond. There is simply nothing else quite like Hammond's funny and evocative series of standalone stories, each told in searing detail and each linked like golden thread, by his love of a fine cigar.
Hammond is a long-time supporter of the world & UK cigar trade and is a respected writer, auther and journalist. He won the inaugural 2013 Spectator Cigar Writer of the Year Award, wrote Cinco Decadas: The Rise of the Nicaraguan Cigar for the Joya De Nicaragua factory, and his work has appeared in the likes of the Daily Telegraph, The Times, FT How To Spend It, Country Life, Shooting Times, Cigar Journal, Cigar Aficionado and many more. He has just completed the manuscript to one of the world's biggest cigar makers.
'It has been a long time coming, but it's very nearly here' says Nick 'So many people have asked for a sequel, and I'm delighted to be able to finally provide it. I can safely say it will give you even more of what you loved about the first book - fantastic illustrations, lashings of laughs, clouds of cigar smoke and something to think aboout along the way. And we are once again using this book to help underprivileged children in Nicaragua.'
Travels of An Epicure started a fundraising drive for impoverished Nicaraguan families, which has so far raised more than £10,000 and counting.
Around The World In 80 Cigars – The Travels Of An Epicureis a cigar book like no other. This luxury, journal-style, cigar flavoured travelogue was released in the UK in September 2019 and is being exclusively supplied to the tobacco trade by Tor Imports Ltd.

Nick Hammond has pledged ten per cent of the profits from Around The World In 80 Cigars – The Travels Of An Epicure to Fe y Alegria in Nicaragua. Faith & Happiness, as it is translated, is a Christian charity working on behalf of underprivileged children. In Nicaragua’s cigar capital of Estelí, the charity runs a hugely important school giving local children – many of whom may not otherwise stay in education much beyond their 12th birthday – the opportunity to continue to study and build a better life for themselves and their families. Tor Imports has similarly agreed to donate £1 for every copy of Around The World In 80 Cigars purchased back to Fe y Alegria.
