I, THEOPHILE STURTEWAGEN, 42, High Street, Bristol, Licensed Victualler and
Pastrycook, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
Attached to any cigar or cigarette holder or detached to be attached to one half
or three quarters of a tube in which the cigar or cigarette will rest, and being
smoked through the holder, the end of the tube being closed in which the cigar or
cigarette rests and by preventing draught makes the cigar or cigarette last much
longer, and as the cigar or cigarette is being smoked the ashes instead of dropping
off will remain attached to the burning cigar or cigarette or if becoming detached
will rest in the tubing aforesaid, saving the ashes dropping on clothes of a smoker
or on carpets or tables, especially adapted for travelling. Can be made in any
substance such as wood, steel, brass, asbestos, meersham, or any substance I may
select.

a is a tube or trough which fits on the end of the holder band partially surrounds
the cigar or cigarette as shewn, thus acting as a protector to same. It will be seen
that as the cigar or cigarette burns the ash will be retained in the tube or trough a
and will not drop and soil any object with which it comes in contact. The tube or
if
trough a may be of any suitable section, preferably semi-circular, and may,
desired, be perforated on its underside.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. In cigar and cigarette holders: the employment of a tube or trough in com-
bination with a holder for the purpose of protecting the cigar or cigarette and
for retaining the ash while the cigar or cigarette is being smoked: substantially as
described and illustrated herein.
