cigar
A cigar is a tightly-rolled bundle of dried and fermented tobacco leaf, rolled in a series of types and sizes, that is ignited so that its smoke may be drawn into the mouth.
Cigar tobacco is grown in significant quantities in Brazil, Cameroon, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Indonesia, Mexico, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Panama, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Canary Islands (Spain), Italy and the Eastern United States. The origins of cigar smoking are still unknown. In Guatemala, a ceramic pot dating back to the tenth century features a Mayan smoking tobacco leaves tied together with a string. Sikar, the term for smoking used by the Maya, may have inspired the name cigar.
== Etymology ==
The word ''cigar'' originated from the Spanish ''cigarro'', which in turn probably derives from the Mayan ''sicar'' ("to smoke rolled tobacco leaves" – from ''si'c'', "tobacco;"). There is also a possible derivation, or at least an influence, from the Spanish ''cigarra'' ("cicada"), due to their similar shape. The English word came into general use in 1730.
