Cigar

Much like pipes, cigars are available to those smokers in a variety of flavors and have been found in town tobacco shops as well as other special event venues. Unlike pipes, cigars require the use of a match from a matchbook, torch, lamp, fire, flame, candle, Inner Eye Candle, or a cast of Minor Fire (906) in order to be properly lit.

Certain cigars may apply a scent to your body, similar to perfume. The fragrance is refreshed while smoked and should last four hours after smoking ceases. Perfumed cigars can be held in the player's mouth and show in inventory for five minutes at a time.

Tips

• To light a cigar: Get a match in one hand and a cigar in the other hand. Light your match (LIGHT MY MATCH), then light your cigar (LIGHT MY CIGAR WITH MY MATCH).
• After you have lit a cigar, you may still have a burning match in your hand. It is ok to drop the match (DROP MY MATCH), which results in "The burning match goes out, disappearing in a small puff of smoke."
• To get a match out of your matchbox: Make sure one hand is empty, and a matchbox is in your other hand. Open the matchbox (OPEN MY MATCHBOX), then get a match from your matchbox (GET MATCH FROM MY MATCHBOX), then close the matchbox (CLOSE MY MATCHBOX), then put away the matchbox and get out your cigar.
• There have been a few quirky matchboxes referred to as "box" although they look like a "matchbox."
• A burning cigar can not be put away. You must snuff it before storing it in a backpack or other container (SNUFF MY CIGAR).

Rolling Cigars

You can make your own cigar by rolling tobacco in cigar papers.
