A stogie is a cigar, and usually a particular kind of cigar: long, thick, cheap and strong-smelling. It is American and informal. If someone says a stogie rather than a cigar, they are often being a little humorous or a little rough about it — the picture is a taxi driver or a poker player chewing on one, not a rich man celebrating with an expensive Cuban. That said, plenty of Americans use stogie loosely for any cigar at all, including a good one, especially when they are being or about the habit. You will also see it spelled stogy. The word belongs firmly to speech and casual writing; nobody puts stogie on a shop sign or in a formal report.
(廉價的)粗雪茄。台灣一般就講「雪茄」,stogie 特別指便宜、粗大、味道嗆的那種,語氣比較隨便、帶點調侃。
組成The usual story is that it is short for Conestoga, a town in Pennsylvania — one of the first American cigar factories was there in the 1880s, and the drivers of the Conestoga covered wagons were said to smoke them. The ending -ie is the friendly, casual ending English adds to shortened words. I should say that the origin is not certain; this is the account dictionaries give, but it is a reconstruction, not a proven fact.
