Object
Q's Fat Cigars
A set of stout, broad-ring tobacco sticks — visibly bulky, dark-wrapped cigars that materialize as part of Q's theatrical bridge celebration. They appear unlit and ornamental, popping into crew members' mouths or hands with a comic, devilish flourish. Characters hold them briefly; Data's laughter and Picard's unease follow their arrival.

Purpose
A theatrical prop: manifested by Q to punctuate his mock celebration and provoke immediate emotional reactions from the crew (comic effect, ceremonial flourish).
Significance
Operates as a tangible emblem of Q's caprice and performative control — a mock peace-offering that humanizes Data through shared levity while simultaneously unsettling Picard by masking a lingering threat.
