Something to smoke in bed — brave man gets tucked in (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cheroot

'something to smoke' is the definition.
(type of cigar)

'bed brave man gets tucked in' is the wordplay.
'bed' becomes 'cot' (cot is a kind of bed).
'brave man' becomes 'hero' (I've seen this before).
'gets tucked in' indicates putting letters inside.
'cot' going around 'hero' is 'CHEROOT'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cheroot that I've seen before include "Small cigar" , "Variety of cigar" , "Type of cigar" , "16 21 [INDIAN IMPORT]" , "One smoked" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
