Book Description

September 1997
With a series of insightful, creative cartoons, Jack Ohman and Brian McConnachie portray the humorous side of the overly serious world of cigar smoking. When McConnachie unleashes his sardonic wit there are no survivors. An original staff writer for "National Lampoon" and "Saturday Night Live", his is some of the funniest writing around. A great gift for your favorite cigar smoking friend or loved one. Line art.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very dated, July 2, 2003
By 
Douglas LeClair (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blowing Smoke: The Whimsical and Wonderful World of Cigars (Hardcover)
The humor in this book is tongue and cheek but in a stupid kind of way. Most of jokes (Dennis Rodman, OJ Simpson, Bill Clinton, etc.) show their age and aren't really that "timeless". Most of the cartoons take up a full page and are only mild chuckles.

I actually found nothing in this book even remotely funny and am sorry I wasted my hard earned money on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Choking With Laughter, June 8, 2000
This review is from: Blowing Smoke: The Whimsical and Wonderful World of Cigars (Hardcover)
I must first confess I am not a cigar smoker and bought this book for a friend who is. He sat down with it and proceeded to chuckle and laugh and gaffaw. Then he began reading it aloud. It is funny. It's smart funny. It's a pretty quick read. It would fall under the catagory of bathroom reading. It's full of short pieces. You can jump in and out anywhere. It had a lot of energy. I really enjoyed it.
