cigar - (pronounced) (sih-GAR) tubular tobacco product consisting of tightly rolled, cured tobacco leaves in a tobacco leaf wrapper or tobacco casing. It may also contain other ingredients, including substances to add different flavors. A cigar is lit at one end and smoked, but the smoke is not usually inhaled into the lungs. Cigars contain nicotine and many cancer-causing chemicals that are harmful to both smokers and non-smokers. Smoking cigars can lead to nicotine addiction and cause cancer of the mouth, larynx (larynx), esophagus, lungs, and pancreas. Heavy cigar smoking can also increase your risk of heart and lung diseases, such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis
