The Cigar Artistry of Marc Langanes: torcedor and photographer
a full-color, picture book
front cover
This volume is a selection of photographs taken by Marc Langanes of his own cigar craftsmanship. Marc Langanes joined the Fair Trade Tobacco Forum on March 11, 2013, under the user name of @MarcL. During his nine-year presence on the forum, Marc posted many hundreds of stunning photographs of his cigar-rolling efforts. In that time, he explored and mastered all of the traditional skills of the most senior torcedores everywhere. Marc might be considered much more than a talented torcedor. He was a cigar sculptor. He demonstrated in his photographs of his work a sensitive eye for photography, lighting, framing, and background arrangement.
back cover
The photos included here are shown in chronological order, starting in April of 2014, and ending with his last posted work on 27 December 2021. Marc died in the spring of 2022. I assembled this book in 2022, with the invaluable assistance of @Knucklehead. It is being published for public release in May 2023.
