Abstract

A cigar tool includes a casing with a hole through the casing that defines a perimeter. A pair of blades are pivotally connected to the casing, and each blade has a cutting edge. The pair of blades has a closed position in which the pair of blades overlap one another within the perimeter, a cutter position in which the pair of blades are separated from one another, outside the perimeter, and the cutting edges are within the casing, and a deployed position in which the cutting edge of one blade is outside the casing. A spring is operably engaged with each blade to bias the cutting edge of each blade out of the casing. An actuator extends through at least a portion of the casing and has a hold position that prevents movement of the pair of blades with respect to the casing and a release position that permits movement of the pair of blades with respect to the casing.
