A combination lighter and cigar cutter device for cutting off an end of a cigar and lighting same includes a casing having a body, a lighting mechanism for producing a flame, and a recessed cavity formed in the body, and a cigar cutter having a planar ring member with a central opening and a thin slot formed therein. A pair of thin cutting blades are received within the slot of the ring member, each blade being movable between a first position in which the cutting blades are substantially withdrawn from the opening and a second position in which the cutting blades are completely received within the opening, so as to effect a shearing or cutting action on a cigar positioned in said opening. Each cutting blade has a handle portion secured thereto for easily moving the cutting blades between the first and second positions. The ring member of the cigar cutter is pivotally secured to the casing about a vertical axis for movement between an open operative position and a closed non-use position in which the ring member is disposed snugly within the cavity.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A combination lighter and cigar cutter device for cutting off an end of a cigar and lighting same, said device comprising:a casing having a body, lighting means for producing a flame, and a recessed cavity formed in the body;a cigar cutter having a planar ring member with a central opening and a thin slot formed therein, said thin slot being formed within the ring member along a plane generally transverse with respect to the opening, and a pair of cutting blades received within the thin slot of the ring member, said blades movable between a first position in which the blades are substantially withdrawn from the opening and a second position in which the blades are completely received within the opening so as to effect a shearing or cutting action on a cigar positioned in said central opening, each blade having a handle portion attached thereto for easily moving the blades between the first and second positions; andmeans for securing the ring member of the cigar cutter to the casing in a position in which the cutter is snugly disposed within the cavity so as to form a substantially flush continuation of the body surface in which the cavity is located, said securing means comprising hinge means having a vertical axis when the lighter and cutter device is in an upright disposition, whereby said cutter may be swung outwardly in a sidewise direction to permit access to and operation of said handle portions.
