You could say 'an ember of burning tobacco', but these are pot holes. I have never known 'cherry' to have that meaning. Rover

What is the red hot ash at the end of a cigarette?

Which is correct? red hot ash at the end of a cigarette or red hot ash on the tip of a cigarette?

How would you say this sentence? If cherry isn't used than what are the correct words for cherry and pot hole?

We say the burning tip of a cigarette. In the dark you can see the glowing tip of a cigarette.

Falling hot ash can make a burn hole in clothing.
