ABSTRACT:
A cigar cutter comprising a housing having a cigar tip receiving aperture, a cigar tip cutoff blade having an inclined cutting edge, and a blade mounting slide telescopically fitted to the housing and adapted to be manually operated to move the blade to cut off a cigar tip inserted through the aperture. A guide on the slide engages a guide receiving channel in the housing; the slide is guided to slide into and out of the housing, and to move the blade past the aperture to a fully inserted position. A spring disposed in the channel above the guide biases the slide outwardly from the housing. The blade is mounted on the slide with the cutting edge facing generally away from and at an angle to the guide. When the slide is manipulated into the housing against the bias of the spring, forces exerted on the slide by the blade during cutting of a cigar force the slide laterally within the housing, pressing the guide against the channel. A preferred version of the present invention also incorporates a push-button release system for retaining the slide in the housing when the slide is fully inserted. The push-button release system comprises the following elements: a resilient catch portion and a slot in the slide, a push-button protruding from the catch portion, a depression shaped to receive a human finger and formed on the housing, and a push-button release hole located within the depression.
