Cigar tip plug cutter

A cigar tip plug cutter, comprising:

• a cylindrical cutting blade, said blade having an upper end, a lower end, a first internal diameter and a first external diameter;
• a support platform, said support platform having an upper surface, a lower surface, a first central orifice and means for orthogonally mounting said cylindrical blade above said first central orifice;
• a cigar tip receiving plate, said receiving plate having an upper surface, a lower surface, a concave depression in said upper surface and a second central orifice in said concave depression, said second central orifice having a second diameter greater than said first external diameter;
• a cigar plug ejector, said ejector having a rod portion, a base portion and at least two support portions;
• said rod portion having an upper end, a lower end and a width less than said first internal diameter;
• said base portion having an upper surface, a lower surface and a first perimeter;
• said rod portion being attached at its lower end to a central portion of the upper surface of said base portion;
• each of said support portions having an upper end, a lower end and being attached at its lower end to the upper surface of said base portion adjacent said first perimeter;
• said support platform having at least two openings penetrating its upper and lower surfaces and spaced from said first central orifice, said openings being sized, shaped and disposed to fit slidably about said support portions while permitting said rod portion to slide within said first central orifice and the first internal diameter of said cylindrical cutting blade;
• each of said support portions being attached at its upper end to the lower surface of said cigar tip receiving plate while said support portions penetrate said support platform from its lower surface to its upper surface;
• said cigar tip receiving plate being urged away from said support platform by at least two compression springs;
• a platform cover, said platform cover having an upper surface and a lower surface and being sized and shaped to fit slidably over said cigar tip receiving plate and having a third central orifice sized, shaped and disposed to accommodate the closed end of a cigar and permit access to said concave depression in the upper surface of said cigar tip receiving plate and said cylindrical blade;
• said platform cover being joined to said support platform;
• and
• whereby, when the closed end of a cigar is urged against said cigar tip receiving plate and said cylindrical blade and twisted about a central axis, said receiving plate will be displaced toward said support platform and said rod portion will be urged away from said platform cover while said cylindrical blade will cut through said cigar end, cutting a plug therefrom, and when said cigar is removed and pressure applied to said lower surface of said base portion of said cigar plug ejector, said rod portion will serve to eject said plug from said cylindrical blade.
