When you come close to something but don't quite get there.
Just short of success
This phrase originated in the 1920's. Fair grounds would give cigars away as prizes. Prizes were more aimed at the adults then vs. children like they are now. The fair workers would shout out "close but no cigar".... The first written documentation of this word appeared in the 1930's and then became a common phrase.

You finish second in a race
A friend asks how you did
You tell them "I finished in second place, close but no cigar"

John: "Man, the case of Budweiser was bad, but I shouldn't have had that second Arturo Fuente last night, I really stunk up the house with my Cigar Farts this morning."
Mike: "John had a bad case of the Cigar Farts this morning. Must have been another night of Bud Heavy and heaters on the rooftop deck last night".

Yo John, I gave your mom a raspberry cigar last night. I fucked her in the ass when she was on her period and she had a yeast infection. Right before I came I tore out her tampon and shot my load all over it!
