To cherish something or someone means to hold them in great affection or esteem, and to treat them with a deep sense of respect and care. It can also mean to keep something safe or in good condition, like a treasured possession.
A cheroot is a type of cigar that is wrapped in a leaf, typically tobacco, and is usually smaller and more tightly rolled than a cigar.
