Le mini-guide #16

A charming entry in Vents d'Ouest's Le mini-guide series, this 1998 volume tackles the world of cigars en BD — in comic-strip form! The cover sets the tone perfectly, showing a dapper gentleman in a tuxedo lighting a cigar for an elegantly dressed woman, the whole scene rendered in a warm, witty caricature style by Grenon and Gaston. With its playful border of top hats and the tongue-in-cheek note that the album is "reserved exclusively for those who smoke the cigar," this little guide promises to be as entertaining as it is informative.
