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. ~ cxcxcxx

Since the act of smoking is {por pur}, how about {purmeH por gho tut} or {purmeH por naQHom}?
We have a canon transliteration for "tobacco" now. You can use that. {toba'qo naQHom}, or the like. On Sat, Aug 24, 2019, 8:27 AM mayqel qunen'oS <mihkoun@gmail.com> wrote:

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}! -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons From: tlhIngan-Hol <tlhingan-hol-bounces@lists.kli.org> On Behalf Of nIqolay Q We have a canon transliteration for "tobacco" now.
