    Abstract: A removably attachable device for removably attaching a cigar to a magnetically attractable object is disclosed. In one embodiment, the device utilizes a plurality of magnetically attractable members for removably attaching the device to the cigar and for removably attaching the cigar to a magnetically attractable object. In one embodiment, the device consists of a conformable, band-like member with a plurality of magnetically attractable members secured to the conformable, band-like member, the magnetically attractable members having the spacing such that when the conformable, band-like member is conformed around the circumference of a cigar, the magnetically attractable members are positioned relative to one another such that they are pulled towards each other through their magnetic attraction to one another, causing the conformable, band-like member to impart a securing force around the circumference of the cigar, thus securing the cigar.
