Today’s expression and dialog:
Close, but no cigar.
How many states in the United States of America?
48!
Wrong.
54.
Wrong.
51!
Close, but no cigar! 50 is the right answer. 

Do you know what a cigar is? It's a big, fat, brown thing that you smoke. Many Central American countries are famous for their superior quality cigars. Cigars are NOT cigarettes. And, in the US, many people who might enjoy a cigar do NOT smoke cigarettes!
Then...who smokes them; when do they get smoked; why do people smoke them? I'l tell you that in today's expression. '
ALSO, you get a really excellent expression that you can use EVEN if you do NOT smoke cigars!!
Have a super day,
