ABSTRACT:
A device for extinguishing lighted tobacco products, such as cigarettes and cigars, includes an elongated, tubular cap having a closed, upper end terminating in a cap end wall and an open, upper end, as well as an elongated, tubular holder constructed and arranged to be telescoped within the cap and having an open, upper end and a lower, closed end terminating in a holder end wall opposite the closed, upper end of the cap. The holder has a radially outwardly projecting collar between the open, upper end and the closed, lower end and the cap has a series of longitudinally extending biasing strips located about an inner liner of the cap, the biasing strips being normally biased outwardly towards the longitudinal center line of the cap. The open, upper end of the holder is tapered outwardly in the direction of the closed, lower end thereof and terminates in the collar. The tapered holder is engageable with the biasing strips on the cap as the holder is telescoped within the cap until the open, lower end of the cap abuts the collar on the holder to thereby form a frictional closure between the cap and the holder whereby a lighted tobacco product placed in the holder is extinguished by frictional closure between the cap and the holder.
