Touring East, passes on hand-rolled ciggies (7)

I believe the answer is:

reefers

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hand-rolled ciggies' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'touring east passes on' is the wordplay.
'touring' means one lot of letters goes inside another (tour can mean to go around).
'east' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'passes on' becomes 'refers' (refer can mean to pass someone onto someone else).
'e' put within 'refers' is 'REEFERS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reefers that I've seen before include "Double-breasted jackets" , "Jackets; joints" , "Illegal cigarettes" , "Joints (sl.)" , "Nautical jackets" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
