Cigars of the Pharaoh is the fourth volume in the world-famous comic book series

The world's most famous travelling reporter must unearth the truth behind the strange cigars bearing a pharaoh's symbol. On the hunt for an Egyptologist and a mysterious ancient pharaoh, Tintin scours Egypt and India. He makes friends with elephants, narrowly avoids falling victim to the poison of madness and saves a maharajah from a killer tiger. Join the most iconic character in comics as he embarks on an extraordinary adventure spanning historical and political events, and thrilling mysteries.”

• While on a Mediterranean cruise, Tintin meets an eccentric Egyptologist, Professor Sophocles Sarcophagus, who is tracking down the undiscovered tomb of the Pharaoh Kih-Oskh. 
• Tintin accompanies the professor into the tomb, only to find that it hides a secret far more dangerous than ancient mummies: a hidden cache of cigars. 
• These particular cigars are being used as vessels to smuggle opium. Tintin gets entangled with a powerful, international drug-trafficking ring that pursues him through the deserts of Arabia and all the way to India. 
• This volume is highly significant in Tintin lore because it introduces Thomson and Thompson (the clumsy, identical-looking detectives) and the recurring arch-villain Roberto Rastapopoulos.
