The cigar plug cutter apparatus of the present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the known devices to provide a more accurate and safe cut of the cigar tip. The apparatus of the present invention for cutting and removing a plug-like portion from the tip of a cigar consisting of: a housing for encasing a retractable cutting tool mechanism, the cutting tool mechanism including a carriage slideable within the housing which is capable of being manipulated from an exterior of the housing; at least one hollow cylindrical tube connected at a first end to the slideable carriage and extending to a second end which is extendable to project out of the housing for use to cut the cigar, and automatically retractable into the housing when the cutter is not in use, the second free end of the tube having an edge capable of cutting into the tip of a cigar; and at least one spring which coacts at its end with the slideable carriage and at its other end with an inner end portion of the housing such that the spring is capable of biasing the slideable carriage within the housing in a set location after each use. In a preferred embodiment, this set location has the carriage assembly centered in the housing.
