Portuguese term or phrase: canhões
Two guys are talking about rolling cigarettes. Since I don't know anything about cigarettes, I don't have a clue what they're going on about and I don't want to translate it into the wrong thing...

One of them eventually says: 'Cigarrões. Canhões. Canhões.'

Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks in advance for your help!
