Hotel California - Warm smell of colitas

[Sancho Panther]

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air

¿Qué son colitas? Little (kittens') tails - cigarette ends?
¿O un bocado mexicano?

oxtail in a stew?

It comes from "colas de borrego", a name for marijuana cigarettes.
