Pass the cigar

Hamaki o watashite kudasai
Explanation:
I assume that you want to say the same thing as "Pass (me) the cigar". If so, the phrase above will do. It also has the meaning of telling / asking someone else to "please pass the cigar". If you want to know the meanings of the individual Japanese words here they are: "Hamaki" is the word for "cigar", and the "o" shows that "Hamaki" is the object of the verb, which, in this case , is "watasu" (to pass) and "watashite kudasai" (as a phrase) means "Please pass (me or someone else) the cigar". HTH.
