The improved size adaptable cigar splitter apparatus of the invention may further comprise a lanyard tang adapted to receive a necklace, lanyard, or similar structure to facilitate ease of carrying. | 08-08-2013 |
20150289564 | LIGHTER AND CIGAR SPLITTER APPARATUS - An apparatus for opening up the sheath of a cigar and lighting the cigar, comprising a lighter, comprising a lighter frame; and a cigar splitter attached to the base of the lighter frame by an outside surface of the cigar splitter. The cigar splitter comprises a housing having two open ends, an inside wall, and the outside surface, an axis parallel to the inside wall and passing through the two open ends, the two open ends permitting insertion of a cigar along the axis through one of the two open ends and to exit through another of the two open ends; a blade attached to the inside wall and oriented along the axis, the blade suitable for cutting an outer sheath of the cigar as the cigar is inserted through the cigar splitter along the axis; and a loop attached to the outside surface of the housing. | 10-15-2015 |
131254000 | Pin or drill | 1 |
20100000553 | Cigar drill - A cigar drill disguised to appear like a typical writing instrument is provided. The cigar drill is designed to create the proper sized smoke passageway in cigars of arbitrary size, rather than limiting the user to one or two sizes of smoke passageways. | 01-07-2010 |
131255000 | Punch | 6 |
20090133705 | CIGAR PUNCHING TOOL - A cigar punching tool has a tubular housing and a tubular gripping portion surrounding the housing and longitudinally movable relative thereto between a forward position and a rearward position displaced rearwardly there-from. A tubular blade is surrounded by the housing and has a hollow interior and a circular cutting edge disposed forwardly of the gripping portion. The blade is longitudinally movable relative to the housing between a storage position in which the cutting edge is rearwardly retracted into the housing and a cutting position in which the cutting edge projects forwardly from the housing. A spring engages the housing and blade and biases the cutting edge to the storage position, and a lever pivotally engages the housing at a hinge and has a first lever arm engaged and pivoted rearwardly by the gripping portion when the gripping portion is moved from the forward position to the rearward position, and has a second lever arm pivoted forwardly and engaging the blade when the gripping portion is moved from the forward position to the rearward position to cause movement of the cutting edge from the storage position to the cutting position. | 05-28-2009 |
20090183743 | CIGAR PUNCTURE TOOL WITH CYLINDRICAL BODY AND INNER SPIKE - A generally cylindrical shaped cigar puncture tool incorporating a spring loaded and locating/guiding disk element arranged in conjunction with a linearly extending and base supported spike. Centered puncturing of the closed head occurs in a first downward translating direction of the cigar within the open interior of the tool. A return spring bias causing even disengaging of the cigar in a second reverse direction. The sizing of an aperture in the disk further allows passage therethrough of the spike, while preventing debris from the cigar head cluttering the puncture zone within the tool. | 07-23-2009 |
20090314300 | Novel Cigar - A novel cigar is provided with an elongated cigar puller device which extends into the interior of the cigar. By removing the cigar puller from the cigar, the tobacco fill material of the cigar is disrupted so as to improve the draw of the cigar. Once the cigar puller is removed from the tobacco fill material, a flavorant and/or aromatic can be infused into the less dense tobacco fill material which is provided upon the removal of the cigar puller. | 12-24-2009 |
20110146696 | CIGAR PUNCH - A cigar punch with retractable plunger that includes a housing that has a cutting edge and an end-to-end passage having two sub-passages with different cross-sectional area. The cigar punch further includes a plunger extending through the housing and protruding from the cutting edge of the housing. The plunger includes at least one locking pin and a knob. The cigar punch further includes a biasing means to bias the plunger head for movement towards the cutting end when the plunger is in retracted position. To cut the cigar plug, the plunger is retracted and locked using locking means, thereby compressing biasing means and exposing the cutting edge to cut and hold a cigar plug. The plunger is unlocked by twisting the knob. The biasing means effects movement of the plunger head towards the cutting end, thereby automatically ejecting plug from within the cigar punch. | 06-23-2011 |
20120160252 | Cigar aerator - Cigar Aerator—cylinder with three prongs at end to punch and aerate cigar. | 06-28-2012 |
20120266901 | Cigar Punch and Holder - A combination cigar piercing and support device having a handle attached to an elongated member extending to a point at a distal end.
