Morphology

exotic + cheroot

The phrase is a straightforward adjectival modification: 'exotic' (foreign/unusual) modifies 'cheroot' (a type of cigar), so the meaning 'a cigar of unusual or foreign origin' is directly derivable from the parts. This follows a common adjective+noun compositional pattern found across languages, so a learner who knows both constituents will understand it.

Etymology

Exotic cheroot may come from travelers who brought special cigars home from faraway lands. A cheroot is a short, rolled cigar and exotic means 'from a distant or unusual place', so the image of a rare, foreign cigar explains why the phrase means 'a fine cigar of unusual or foreign origin'.
