Chomping on cigar, concerned with carbon compounds (7)
I believe the answer is:
organic
'concerned with carbon compounds' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'chomping on cigar' is the wordplay.
'chomping' is an anagram indicator (letters get chomped or munched up).
'on'+'cigar'='oncigar'
'oncigar' is an anagram of 'ORGANIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for organic that I've seen before include "In cargo (anag.)" , "Fundamental" , "Derived from animal or vegetable matter" , "sort of farming" , "Pesticide-free" .)
