What is the meaning behind “Cigars on ice, cigars on ice”? Drunk in Love by Beyoncé (Ft. JAY-Z)

Though speculation often turns to more NSFW interpretations of “cigars on ice,” it seems to evoke imagery of a cigar lying on top of an iced alcoholic drink. The combination of expensive smokes and drinks serves as a status symbol for the power couple. The ideal conditions for a cigar are 70°F (21°C) and 70% humidity. Ice, at sub-32°F, is way too cold, so she may not want to leave it there too long.
