ABSTRACT:
An improved combination portable ash receptacle and saver for cigars with an area for a cigar cutter, 20, and matches, 16, all in a hinged, two part case* consisting of a top, 2, and a bottom, 4, that shut tightly together via a built-in latch. The top portion of the latch, 6, located on the top of the case, catches firmly on the corresponding bottom part of the latch, 8, located directly beneath on the bottom half of the case. The hinge, 30, is located on the opposite side of the latch and is durable in order to accommodate frequent use. The interior of the case is divided into 6 compartments via two ribs in each half, one rib running the length of the case on the top, 24, and 34 on the bottom, and another rib dissects it perpendicularly in each half, 10 on the bottom and 26 on the top. This creates three compartments in the top portion, or lid, and three more in the bottom. The construction of the case is such that when it is closed, each compartment is fully self-contained, that is, the contents of each stays separate. The user places a partially smoked cigar in the saving compartment, 14 and 18, and then closes the case, which will then keep the cigar fresh until re-lit later on. The bottom compartments are for a molded ashtray, 12, a box of matches or breathmints, or whatever else the carrier would like to fit inside that compartment, 16, and a slender, elongated compartment into which the partially smoked or unsmoked cigar sits, 14. In the top half of the case, in the portion that aligns with and corresponds to the ashtray on the bottom, is a compartment, 20, that contains an inset magnet, 32, which serves the purpose of fastening a cigar cutter with a stainless steel blade, 38, to it so as to keep it in place. Adjacent to that in the top is another compartment, 22, and the long, thin compartment in the top, 18, corresponds exactly to the one in the bottom, which is for saving the cigar.
