A metrical unit having two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable is an anapaest. The word 'cigarette' is an example of an anapaest. The word 'anapaest', however, is not an anapaest. It is a dactyl. And the word 'dactyl' is a trochee (as is the word 'trochee').
An iambic foot consists of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable. It is the most common metrical foot in English poetry.
Iambic pentameter and iambic tetrameter are the most common metrical lines. The iamb is by far the most common metrical foot in English poetry as it is the rhythm that most closely resembles normal speech. Iambic pentameter is the classic metrical form for English poetry, but iambic tetrameter is also very common.
