In this, Robicsek's third major book on the Mayans, he traces what must be every conceivable reference to tobacco smoking in the historic record of this amazing Central American civilization. Most of his data comes from inscriptions on artifacts and sculpture that have been conveniently computerized for reference. He provides what is almost a personal smoking history of the various Mayan gods, and there were a lot of them. Every man with a cigar depicted on a Mayan vase is mentioned.
