A small cigar consisting of tobacco or another substance, wrapped up in a thin roll with paper, intended for smoking.
He rose to light my cigarette, then sank back into his wicker chair contentedly. The tea was weak, but not cold, thanks to the hot-plate.
1956, Delano Ames, chapter 7, in Crime out of Mind:Tobacconist: Right. I want to try you on a course of these: one twenty times a day. Have you taken them before? Patient: Um, what is it? Tobacconist: It's a simple nicotinal arsenous monoxid preparation taken bronchially as an infumation. Patient: Infumation? Tobacconist: Yes, you just light the end and breathe it. Patient: What, like cigarettes? Tobacconist: You know them then. Actually, it's a bit hard to admit but they're basically an herbal remedy... A leaf originally from the Americas, I believe, called tobacco. Patient: But medicated? Tobacconist: Medicated? No. Patient: These are ordinary cigarettes? Tobacconist: That's right. Patient: But they're terribly bad for you, aren't they? Tobacconist: I hardly think I would be prescribing them if they were bad for you. Patient: Twenty a day? Tobacconist: Yes, ideally moving on to about thirty or forty.
