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.
