Abstract: 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 device, the tobacco fill material of the cigar is disrupted so as to improve the draw of the cigar. Some of the cigar puller devices can be used to infuse flavorants into the cigar to alter the taste and/or aroma of the cigar.

Abstract: A system and method for a cigarette smoke filtration device that reduces second-hand smoke and holds a lit cigarette while being smoked or sitting idle. The device somewhat resembles a bifurcated cigarette holder wherein a lit cigarette is placed within the device while being smoked or sitting idle. Once inside, the device draws the smoke from the cigarette through a filtering system reducing offending odors as well as most of the harmful gases from cigarette smoke. The filtering system has replaceable filter cartridges. The spent ashes are collected in the device's base which can be emptied as needed.

Abstract: A device that sucks small quantities of air through a lit cigar in order to maintain sufficient oxygen flow to prevent the cigar from going out.

Abstract: A smoking deterring ashtray device for using as a smoking deterrent to get the user to stop smoking. The smoking deterring ashtray device includes a base member; and also includes a body assembly including a torso-shaped body member being securely disposed upon said base member and having a passageway extending therethrough with the torso-shaped body member further having an upper portion, a lower portion and a front; and further includes an ashtray assembly including a container being securely mounted upon the base member; and also includes a cigarette/cigar support assembly being securely disposed upon the container and being disposed upon the front and at the lower portion of the torso-shaped body member.

Abstract: According to a smoking device of the present invention, major and a minor smoke streams given out during smoking are temporarily stored in a storage section by means of a forcible sucking device. The storage section is taken out to the outdoors later, and the stored smoke is exhausted. The forcible sucking device comprises fans, a pump, or the like, or it utilizes the gravitational force or spring force.

Abstract: The specification discloses a cigarette filter modifier and related method in which the pattern of tar and nicotine collection in a conventional cigarette filter is modified by the insertion into the filter of a hollow probe having laterally opening apertures therein which communicate with the interior passageway of the probe, combined with a base shield radiating from and surrounding said probe so as to block the passage of smoke, thereby forcing cigarette smoke to travel through the apertures and interior passageway of said probe. The probe apertures are located so that they open laterally with respect to the length of the probe.

The base shield is approximately the diameter of the cigarette, and its perimeter thereof defines the lateral extremes of the device so as to minimize its visibility.

Abstract: A cigar holder is provided and consists of a thin cylindrical-shaped tube that can be inserted within a mouth of a smoker. The tube has a hollow punch extending centrally inwardly to pierce butt end of a cigar for allowing free drawing of smoke. The thin cylindrical-shaped tube can be chewed on without harm to teeth of the smoker. The tube is provided with an adapter for holding variously sized cigars.

Abstract: A cigarette holder body terminates at one end in a hollow mouthpiece which opens to a pair of cylindrical passages one of which holds the unlit end of the cigarette while the other holds a smoke catcher cartridge. One way flap valves are interposed between the unlit end of the cigarette and the mouthpiece and downstream of the smoke catcher cartridge which automatically open and close oppositely such that during inhaling smoke passes through the first passage to the smoker while, during exhaling smoke is forced to pass through the other passage bearing the smoke catcher cartridge. The body may comprise a hinged two-part plasting molding snap latched to closed position and bearing integral opening tabs on respective body halves.

Abstract: A cigarette holder that selectively permits a smoker to draw either fully filtered smoke or else unfiltered smoke; the holder including a snorkel tube clipped to an aide of the cigarette holder, a forward end of the snorkel tube being impalled in a side of the cigarette forwardly of the cigarette filters, and a rear end of the snorkel tube being aligned alongside the cigarette holder mouthpiece so to permit the holder in a modified design thereof including a tongue-controlled valve so to draw either through the holder or the snorkel; and the holder in a further modified design including a means for injecting into the smoke stream desired elements such as menthol vapors, various gases, talc or clay powders, and the like.
