Cigar cutters
A cigar cutter includes a body having an opening to receive a cigar, and a first blade and a second blade that are moveable relative to the opening in the body. The first and second blades are moveable between an open position and a closed position. The cigar cutter also includes a wheel rotatably coupled to the body. When the wheel is rotated in a first direction, the first and second blades are moved to the open position, and when the wheel is rotated in a second direction opposite the first direction, the first and second blades are moved to the closed position.
CIGAR VENTILATION IMPLEMENT
A cigar ventilating implement includes both a cylindrical punch and a piercing member such as a needle or spike. The cylindrical punch and piercing member are connected to each other by a coil spring and each is extendable from an outer housing of the implement by gripping laterally extending flanges and pressing on an actuator in a manner similar to that used to operate a medical syringe. The cylindrical punch is extendable to a predetermined distance when pushing the actuator over a first section of its total range of movement to remove an end section of a cigar's wrapper or binder, after which the piercing member may be extended from the cylindrical punch by a further distance to form a passage of controllable depth upon pushing the actuator over a second section of its total range against the bias provided by the coil spring. The restoring force of the coil spring causes the elongated piercing member to retract back into the cylindrical punch when pressure on the actuator is released, to enable safe transport and storage of the implement.

CIGAR VENTILATION IMPLEMENT
A cigar ventilating implement includes both a cylindrical punch and a piercing member such as a needle or spike. The cylindrical punch and piercing member are extendable from a housing of the implement by gripping laterally extending flanges or pins and pressing on an actuator. One or two coil springs may be provided to bias the punch and/or piercing member to a retracted position, and a retaining member may be provided to latch the punch in the extended position.
CIGAR VENTILATION IMPLEMENT
A cigar ventilating implement includes both a cylindrical punch and a piercing member such as a needle or spike. The cylindrical punch and piercing member are sequentially extendable and retractable by rotating a knob.
Cigar airflow adjustment instrument
According to some embodiments, systems and methods for altering the draw of a cigar are provided. The systems may include an elongate shaft with a working portion at the distal end. The working portion may have any of number of blades, corners, recesses, grooves, textures, and sharp points, among others. The methods may include assessing the draw of a cigar, inserting the working portion into the cigar, using the working portion to catch, cut, and pull and then remove tobacco from within the cigar, testing the draw of the cigar, and repeating the above steps until the draw is ideal.

CIGAR CUTTER ASSEMBLY
A cutter assembly for cutting a cigar or any other type of rolled or compacted smoking product. The cutter assembly includes a housing having a size and shape to receive and/or retain at least a portion of a motor and/or a cutter assembly therein. Drivingly connected to the motor is an output shaft. At least a portion of the cutter assembly is connected to or integrally formed as part of the output shaft. The cutter assembly is operably configured to cut and/or remove at least a portion of the cigar, the rolled smoking product, and/or the compacted smoking product as needed by the user.
