What may be smoked by champion in bed? (7)
I believe the answer is:
cheroot
'what may be smoked' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'champion in bed?' is the wordplay.
'champion' becomes 'hero' (synonyms).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'bed?' becomes 'cot' (cot is a type of bed).
'hero' put into 'cot' is 'CHEROOT'.
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cheroot that I've seen before include "smoke" , "16 21 [INDIAN IMPORT]" , "Small cigar" , "Havana?" , "With both ends cut off squarely, is smoked" .)
