A cigar holder assembly is provided for golf carts utilizing biased clasps to hold one or more cigars in a vertical position over a removable ashtray. Temporary and permanent means for attaching the cigar holder to a golf cart are provided, and a swivel mount is provided between the attachment and the cigar holder to allow the cigar holder to maintain a substantially vertical orientation.

What is claimed is: 1. A portable apparatus for holding smoking materials in a vehicle, comprising: a substantially vertical panel having an upper edge, a right edge, a left edge, and a lower edge, and a clasp biased against the vertical panel for releasably holding lit smoking materials; a substantially horizontal ash tray, the ash tray having a right end and a left end, and the ash tray being releasably attached to the lower edge by a tray attachment means; a securing means attached to the panel, for removably securing the apparatus to a vehicle; the securing means comprising either an elongate repositionable member having an end proximate to the panel and attached to the panel by a pivot means, and an end distal to the panel having attached thereto a finger clamp, or an elongate repositionable member having an end proximate to the panel and attached to the panel by a pivot means, and an end distal to the panel having attached thereto a ball and socket, the ball and socket in turn attached to a finger clamp, or an elongate repositionable member having an end proximate to the panel and attached to the panel by a pivot means, and an end distal to the panel having attached thereto a ball and socket, the ball and socket in turn attached to a bracket which may be fixed temporarily to the vehicle by fasteners; the securing means allowing the panel to pivot freely about the securing means in any direction: the pivot means comprising either a ball and socket, or a hanger consisting of a rigid hanger bar having a straight end and a hooked end, the hooked end fixed to the panel in a substantially perpendicular orientation to the upper edge, and a swivel plate fixed to the repositionable member, the swivel plate having a slot cut therethrough substantially parallel to the upper edge, the hooked end being slidably inserted into the slot; the tray attachment means allowing the ash tray to pivot freely beneath the lower edge about an axis substantially parallel to the lower edge, and further comprising opposing elongate springs attached to, and dependent from, the right and left edges of the vertical panel, each elongate spring having an upper end attached to the vertical panel and a free lower end; the lower ends of each elongate spring having fixed thereto a first bearing part; the right and left ends of the ash tray each having fixed thereto a second bearing part; and the first bearing parts and the second bearing parts being releasably engaged to each other at the right and left ends of the ash tray; the first bearing parts and the second bearing parts, when engaged, cooperate so as to allow the ash tray to rotate about an axis through the right and left ends; the clasp biased against the vertical panel being shaped so that a smoking material may be clasped in a substantially vertical orientation against the vertical panel by the clasp biased against the vertical panel; a first spacing means to keep the lit end of the smoking material above the ash tray and out of contact with surfaces, comprising a substantially horizontal bar fixed to the vertical panel near the lower edge, the bar being indented so as to conform to the external surface of a substantially cylindrical smoking material; a second spacing means to keep the unlit end of the smoking material out of contact with surfaces, comprising a substantially horizontal bar fixed to the vertical panel near the upper edge, the bar being indented so as to conform to the external surface of a substantially cylindrical smoking material; the clasp biased against the vertical panel comprising a pair of brackets fixed to the vertical panel and horizontally spaced apart, the first bracket having a first hole, the second bracket a second hole, the holes bored through the brackets along a common horizontal axis; a thin, rigid, elongate rod having a first end and a second end, the rod being shaped so that the first end is mounted rotatably within the first hole, the rod being further shaped to pass horizontally behind a smoking material, through the second hole, downwardly alongside the smoking material, horizontally in front of the smoking material, and diagonally downwardly and away from the smoking material so that the second end forms a curved finger-pull; and a spring interposed between the first bracket and the rod so as to bias the rod rotationally within the first hole so that the second end is forced toward the vertical panel. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 in which: said clasp biased against the vertical panel comprises an elongate rigid lever comprised of a short end and a long end, the short end comprising a finger tab, the long end comprising an arcuate smoking material tab, the axis of the short end and the axis of the long end being joined at an angle, the angle forming a fulcrum for the lever; the fulcrum being rotatably attached to said vertical panel so that when the finger tab is held against said vertical panel, the smoking material tab is away from said vertical panel; and a biasing means provided at the fulcrum to urge the smoking material tab towards said vertical panel. 3. The apparatus of claim 2 in which: said lever is oriented substantially horizontally on said vertical panel; said fulcrum rotates about a substantially vertical axis; and said finger tab is proximate to either a) said right side, or b) said left side, so that when said finger tab is pinched against said vertical panel by human finger pressure, said smoking material tab is raised.
