Abstract:
1. A device that is adapted to suck air through a lit cigar to maintain a sufficient flow of oxygen through the cigar to prevent the cigar from going out, the device comprising a cigar holder adapted to receive an unlit end of a lit cigar on a first end thereof, a suction tube extending from the cigar holder on a second end thereof, the second end being opposite the first end, a funnel adapted to be placed in vertical registration with a lit end of the cigar, the funnel having a relatively wide first opening and an opposite relatively narrower second opening, the first opening being adjacent the lit end of the cigar and the second opening extending vertically upward away from the cigar into a vertically extending chimney, the funnel being adapted to capture heat emanating from the lit end of the cigar, wherein the suction tube extends into the chimney adjacent to and vertically above the second opening of the funnel such that air flowing through the cigar flows through the suction tube exiting into the chimney directly above the second opening to create a venturi effect.
