I've made linguiÇa many times, but never this way!!! I add bay leafs red wine, but not the cinnamon,or cloves ,nor do we use the water.. and of course it has to be smoked -
Linguica is a smoked sausage. It is marinated with some wine and garlic and some but few spices. There is a process for making linguica. Check out the Sausage Maker online and Portuguese Homestyle Cooking takes you through it step by step since there are safety concerns when smoking meats.

I'm really just learning how to cook, but I hope that my skills at eating will really guide me in this endeavor. ;-) I think that sharing recipes on the internet is better than any cookbook. Of course, I founded Recipezaar, so I might be a little biased.
