cigar
Humidor's prized contents
A cigar is a roll of dried tobacco leaves for smoking, typically thicker and longer than a cigarette and without a filter.
Cigars range from slim cigarillos to large Churchills, and are often associated with celebration or luxury: passing out cigars after the baby was born, a victory cigar.
The phrase close, but no cigar means nearly successful but ultimately failing—from carnival games that once awarded cigars as prizes.
