"cigarette bat" referred to as "schoocher"?

[Cohen, Gerald Leonard]

As long as we're in full speculative mode, might there be any connection with Spanish "escuchar" (= listen to; hear)? 
Might there be some context in popular culture (e.g. lyrics of a song), where "escuchar" and "marijuana" are somehow linked?

The name "cigarette" bat suggests something is on fire, so could
"schoocher" be a variant of "scorcher"?

So I just heard this term today and I cannot find a record of it
anywhere (I tried possible variant spellings, or even mispronunciation).
Is anyone familiar with "schoocher"? (Scoob/ed is the only thing I can
find that is even somewhat related . . . .)
