Description:

Did you know that cigars really grow on trees? Or that cigars have been launched into outer space? Or that Leonardo's Mona Lisa was, while posing, puffing on a cigar, which was part of the original painting? "Polite society in Florence was so enraged," author Philip Collins tells us, "that pressure was brought to bear.... Leonardo agreed to erase the cigar, but not the smile that resulted from it." This amusing picture book puts cigars at the center of works of art, historical events, and, well, just about everything--the further out, the better. A collection of well-known images doctored to give cigars their due, Cigar Bizarre is a cornucopia of visual puns for those who like their history revised and irreverent.
