Abstract
A cigar has a length of at least 8 inches and may be severed in a plane perpendicular to its longitudinal axis without deleteriously affecting its structural integrity or its smokability. The cigar has a non-rotatable collar consisting of a smokable tobacco product which surrounds and grips the cigar at its midpoint. Overlapping portions of the spirally wound wrapper are glued together by a smokable adhesive, from one end of the cigar to the other.
Claims7
A severable cigar having a length of at least 8 inches and comprising
- (a) filler consisting of compacted pieces of tobacco leaf;
- (b) a generally cylindrical binder consisting of a portion of a tobacco leaf tightly surrounding the filler;
- (c) a generally cylindrical wrapper consisting of a portion of a tobacco leaf spirally wrapped around and surrounding the binder in such a manner that the edge of each successive turn overlaps the edge of the turn of the wrapper immediately below it, to form a generally spiral overlapped portion, the surfaces of which overlapped portion are secured together by smokable adhesive for substantially the length of the cigar, so as to form a generally spiral seam;
- (d) a first head sealed by smokable adhesive at one end of the cigar;
- and
- (e) a second head sealed by smokable adhesive at the other end of the cigar;
- whereby the user may cut the cigar cleanly in a plane perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, in order to create two cigars of desired lengths, without substantially diminishing their structural integrity.

- (e) a second head sealed by smokable adhesive at the other end of the cigar;
- and
- (f) a non-rotatable collar surrounding and gripping the cigar at its midpoint, which collar consists of a smokable tobacco product;
- whereby the user may cut the cigar cleanly through the collar in a plane perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, in order to create two cigars, without substantially diminishing their structural integrity.
A method of making two cigars of desired lengths, which method comprises
- (a) providing a generally cylindrical cigar which is at least 8 inches long, has a longitudinal axis, has a sealed head at each end, and is surrounded by non-smokable packaging;
- (b) removing the packaging from the cigar;
- and
- (c) cutting the cigar along a plane perpendicular to its longitudinal axis.
