Expression used when someone got so close to accomplish something... but didn't really accomplish it.

This expression comes from a Golf tradition... If you're playing golf with your friends and instead of working the ball into the hole with a few drives you make it in a single play... you're friends are supposed to buy you a cigar after the game...

- Guess who I took for dinner last night?

+ My sister?

- Close, but no cigar.

+ Who then?
