'''Tobacco''' is an [[human]] agricultural product processed from the fresh leaves of plants in the genus Nicotiana. Its most common usage is for smoking (tobacco smoking) in the form of a cigarette or cigar. Even in the 26th Century, tobacco is still an important commercial commodity, used in cigars, cigarettes, and the fillings of pipes. Tobacco is commercially available almost everywhere in dried, cured, and natural forms. Some humans are also known to enjoy tobacco gum, a chewing substance used as an alternative to smoked tobacco.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 204''</ref> | |||

A cigar is a tightly rolled bundle of dried and fermented tobacco which is ignited so that its smoke may be drawn into the smoker's mouth. The [[English]] ''cigar'' comes from the [[Spanish]] ''cigarro'', which in turn derives from the Mayan word for tobacco, ''siyar''. Cigar tobacco was once grown in significant quantities in Brazil, Cameroon, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Indonesia, [[Wikipedia:Mexico|Mexico]], Nicaragua, the Philippines, and the [[United States of America|United States]]. Cigars from [[Wikipedia:Cuba|Cuba]] were particularly famous. | |||
In the 26th century, the [[Sweet William cigar]] is a luxury brand popular among humans. They are especially enjoyed by numerous members of the [[UNSC]]. | |||

26th century cigarettes are protected from moisture damage by waterproof seals. Some cigarettes have "ignition ends" which light the cigarette by tapping its end, thus eliminating the need for external flammable implements; these cigarettes are popular among the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]].<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', page 168</ref> Cigarettes requiring traditional means of ignition are also available.<ref name="HaloFS_115">'''Halo: First Strike''', page ''115'': ''They flared like the "strike-anywhere" matches the ODSTs used to light their contraband cigarettes.''</ref> The [[UNSC]] issues cigarette consumption ordinances. | 26th century cigarettes are protected from moisture damage by waterproof seals.
