  • Patent number: 8708695
    Abstract: A portable, handheld lighter assembly for lighting a lighting end of a rolled tobacco product, such as a cigarette or a cigar, includes an elongated body formed with opposed first and second channels formed on either side of a combustion zone and a stop formed in the elongated body. The combustion zone traverses the stop so as to couple the first channel in gaseous communication with the second channel. The stop restricts movement of a rolled tobacco product into the second channel from the first channel and restricts movement of a rolled tobacco product into the first channel from the second channel. A lighter is coupled to the elongated body and is for applying lighting heat to the combustion zone at the stop for lighting a lighting end of a rolled tobacco product applied against the stop in the combustion zone from the first channel or the second channel.
