Abstract
A cigar holder for controlling the burn rate thereof. According to a preferred embodiment, the invention comprises the combination of a housing member having an upwardly extending port formed thereon and a cigar holder member interconnectable therewith. The housing member is designed and configured to be positioned within an ashtray and has formed thereon at least one aperture for providing oxygen to a lit cigar received therewithin. The cigar holder member is designed to nest within the port formed on the base, and has formed thereon at least one aperture that is designed and configured to align with the aperture formed upon the base member. In use, the respective apertures formed upon the housing and cigar holder members may be selectively aligned with one another to define a resultant vent aperture of variable size which selectively controls the amount of air that can access the cigar to thus cause the cigar to burn at a controlled rate.
