ABSTRACT:
A cigar punch and tobacco ejector apparatus comprising a housing having a cylindrical hollow body attached to a base and having an open circular end, and a cutter having a barrel removably connected to a handle and a slot formed on the barrel adjacent to the handle. The housing is for storing the cutter when not in use. The cutter has a sharp, open-mouthed edge adapted to receive a tip of a cigar, to cut a piece from the cigar, to form hole in the cigar's tip, and to hold the cut piece when the cigar is moved away from the cutter. A plunger assembly is removably connected to the cutter. The plunger assembly has a plunger adapted to travel within the cutter's barrel, a collar adapted to being placed over the barrel and to be connected to the plunger through the barrel's slot. A dowell pin is used to connect the collar to the plunger through the slot. The collar slides along the barrel as the dowell pin moves along the slot, thereby allowing the plunger to eject the cigar's cut piece from the cutter.
