Morphology
The meaning 'a person who smokes cigars' is directly and compositionally derived from 'cigar' (a roll of tobacco for smoking) + 'smoker' (one who smokes). This simple noun–noun compound follows regular English compounding patterns and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Cigar smoker is made from cigar and smoker, so it creates the simple image of a person holding and smoking a cigar. That's why it means 'a person who smokes cigars'.
