thanks Big Mac i dont quite understand

manila is a cheroot but "which Spanish applaud"?

[cruciverbali]

Che is Italian for which - could it also be Spanish ?

[sarumite]

"Che" is a short and familiar form for the name "Jos�" in many spanish-speaking places. Apart from that, it means something like "hey you"!

[BigMac]

Cruciverbali is right about che being Italian for which, and I bow to Samurite's knowledge of Spanish idiom.

My working out was that a Manila is a type of cheroot and to root for someone is to support, which could include applaud.

But I'm not happy about the clue. If it had said Italian rather than Spanish I think it would have been clearer.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for all your help, I agree it isn't the best of clues,
but hey, thats the "wee stinker" for you.
