Pungently tasting cigar, perhaps about a pound (6)
I believe the answer is:
garlic
'pungently tasting' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'cigar perhaps about a pound' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'a pound' becomes 'L' (the pound sign is based on an L).
'cigar' with letters rearranged gives 'garic'.
'garic' placed around 'l' is 'GARLIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for garlic that I've seen before include "Strong-tasting bulb" , "Bulb used in cooking" , "Bulbous herb used in cooking" , "Pungent bulb feared by vampires" , "Aromatic bulb used as seasoning" .)
