The English word cigar comes from the Spanish word cigarro, which, in turn, comes from the Nahuatl word for tobacco itself. In fact, the Meso-american cultures have been harvesting and smoking cigars since the 10th century, wrapping their tobacco in maize husks. Nowadays, cigar smoking has evolved into an almost ritualistic male activity, associated with alcohol and billiards, complete with a system of etiquette.
