  • Patent number: 6055991
    Abstract: A cigar draw tool that holds a cigar in alignment with a needle-like punch. The punch is pushed through the length of the longitudinal axis of the cigar to create an open air channel that increases the capacity of the cigar to draw. Multiple alignment apertures are provided to allow the punch to create multiple parallel air channels in the cigar such that the user can increase the drawing capacity as desired. In addition, the multiple alignment apertures are arranged to accommodate cigars of varying sizes such that cigars of any width can be punched in the central portion of the cigar by moving the punch to an alternate alignment aperture. A removable lid is used to hold the cigar in alignment with the punch during the punch operation. An alternate embodiment uses an automatically retracting lid that is spring loaded hold the cigar in alignment. Another alternative embodiment uses a hinged lid that flips open to allow a cigar to be inserted or removed.
