BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0004] 1. The field of endeavor to which the invention pertains involves `Tobacco and Smokers' Supplies or Accessories`.

[0006] 3. When golfers smoke cigars, they typically set their cigars down when taking a shot, and prefer to place them on a support of some kind for protection from moisture and contaminants that may be present on the ground or on other surfaces. The invention prevents a lit cigar from touching the supporting surface upon which the cigar is place while the cigar is not being smoked.

[0007] 4. The lit end of a cigar can accidentally touch clothing or other surfaces and cause a burn or ash mark. The invention can guard against this occurrence.

[0008] 1. The invention suspends a lit cigar within a tubular shield to protect it from wind and other elements, and shall promote an environment for the cigar to stay lit and burn consistently.

[0010] 3. Additionally, the invention can guard the lit end of a cigar from accidentally touching a person's clothing and other surfaces.

[0011] 4. During use in cool weather, the invention can provide warmth to the smoker's hand while the smoker grips the exterior surface.
