[tlhIngan Hol] expressing cigarette

[Steven Boozer]

toba’qo                              tobacco (n) (qep'a' 2018)

(qep'a' 2018):  this is just the Federation Standard word; Maltz has heard the phrase {por pur} “inhale leaf”, which he assumes is shortened from {por tlhIch pur} “inhale leaf smoke”, but he has no idea what kind of {por} “leaf” it might be

nIqolay’s suggestion of {toba’qo naQHom} “tobacco stick” – maybe colloquially {tlhIch naQHom}? - is probably the simplest, as {naqHom} also appears in {tlhagh patat 'oQqar naQHommey} “fries” in Talk Now! Klingon.  OTOH Okrand might just call them {Hut'Inmey}!

We have a canon transliteration for "tobacco" now. You can use that. {toba'qo naQHom}, or the like.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to express "cigarette" ?

All I can think of, is {tlhIch gho tut}. But this brings to mind a cylinder of smoke, and not the actual cigarette.
