What does CIGAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A roll of cured tobacco leaves rolled together for smoking.
A cigar is made almost entirely of whole tobacco leaves, unlike a cigarette, which uses shredded tobacco wrapped in paper. Cigars are typically lit and smoked slowly without inhaling, and their size and shape vary widely, from thin panetelas to thick robustos. The word entered English from Spanish cigarro, possibly linked to a Mayan term for smoking.
