Excellent Mo and Grod. Beautiful piece. What scale is 1/9th in millimetres in height?

How about a Chasseur au pied of the Old Guard to go with it?

Absolutely superb - takes over where Le Cimier left off.

Isn't this based on a painting by Detaille? I think Andrea did something like this a good few years ago in 90mm size.
Superb sculpt by Moz.

I thought the same, but it's the tip of his sword. I think that cigarettes were first used in the Crimea by wrapping tobacco in cartridge paper.

Yes, I did realise that (it's only this particular pic that gives the illusion of a ***).

As for cigarettes (as opposed to cigars), Wiki says:

(apart from early 'quasi cigarette/pipe-like' S American Indian versions)....The North American, Central American, and South American cigarette used various plant wrappers; when it was brought back to Spain, maize wrappers were introduced, and by the 17th century, fine paper. The resulting product was called papelate and is documented in Goya's paintings La Cometa, La Merienda en el Manzanares, and El juego de la pelota a pala (18th century).[21]​

By 1830, the cigarette had crossed into France, where it received the name cigarette; and in 1845, the French state tobacco monopoly began manufacturing them.[21] The French word was adopted by English in the 1840s.[22] Some American reformers promoted the spelling cigaret,[23][24] but this was never widespread and is now largely abandoned.[25]​

The first patented cigarette-making machine was invented by Juan Nepomuceno Adorno of Mexico in 1847​

It also notes that they did indeed became popular amongst the Brits during the Crimean War (but not 'invented' then) "...when British soldiers began emulating their Ottoman Turkish comrades and Russian enemies, who had begun rolling and smoking tobacco in strips of old newspaper for lack of proper cigar-rolling leaf"

Thank you Gordon. Another beautiful piece, but I was wondering if a Chasseur au Pied of the Old Guard was in the offering to match the Grenadier au Pied. They are rarely produced, yet they were the other regiment of the Old Guard and participated equally in all its actions. Somehow they seem to have been forgotten by model makers.

Vive L`Empereur!Nice companion for the Le Cimier giants.But one little question:Must be the sabre briquet not a bit more curvier at the end?
