EN: cigar case; female cigar maker/seller
Before vaping became a thing, this was the accessory. It's either the fancy case for your lolo's cigars, or the woman rolling them expertly, probably gossiping with the other tabakeras.
From Spanish 'tabaquera' (cigar case, or a woman who works with tobacco).
This word has two distinct but related meanings. Context is key to differentiate between the object and the person.
