Cigar cutters are disclosed herein. An example 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 hole punches are disclosed herein. An example cigar hole punch includes a first body having an end with an opening, a second body coupled to the first body, a cutting blade at least partially disposed in the first body, a positioning pin at least partially disposed in the first body, and an actuator to move the cutting blade and the positioning pin into and out of the opening in response to relative movement between the first and second bodies.

A cigar cutter has a housing into which a moveable actuator assembly extends. A rotatable cutter blade is located in a hollow space of the housing, the cutter blade rotating in the hollow space under the control of the moveable actuator assembly. A receptacle adjacent the rotatable cutter blade receives the tip of a cigar, and rotation of the cutter blade in the hollow space severs the cigar tip from the remainder of the cigar. The residue formed by the severed tip is then discarded. A hemispherical-shaped cut is created at the tip of the cigar.

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.

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.

A guillotine-style cigar cutter. The cutter includes a body with a central aperture and a pair of blades disposed on opposite sides of the aperture and configured to move translationally across the aperture to cut an end of a cigar in preparation for smoking. A gear train is provided that includes a ring gear disposed to circumscribe the aperture and to engage pairs of spur gears disposed at diametrically opposite positions. Edges of the blades engage the spur gears in a rack-and-pinion style configuration. The gear train thus provides synchronous and symmetrical movements of the blades relative to one another.

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 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 after which the piercing member may be extended from the cylindrical punch by a further distance upon pushing the actuator over a second section of its total range against the bias provided by a 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.
