It is a traditional Chinese mugwort herb which plays an important role in the traditional medical systems of China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Tibet, and Mongolia. Suppliers usually age the mugwort and grind it up to a fluff; practitioners burn the fluff or process it further into a stick that RESEMBLES a (non-smokable) cigar. This is called “Moxa”, and they can use it indirectly, with acupuncture needles, or sometimes burn it on a patient’s skin.

It is probably not safe to use a cigar which you mention.
