BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] Accessories for the cigarette smoker have been prevalent in many forms for years. Each accessory previously offered has it own unique features and advantages. Still, with the number of smokers on the planet, further unique smoking accessories are welcomed. The separation of cigarettes from their lighter is a concern for cigarette smokers. The designs of various means of combining cigarettes in proximity to a lighter have yet to offer the advantages offered by the present invention. Additionally, alternative embodiments of the present invention offer more than one solution to the above problem, while at the same time offering other desirable features. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention relates to cigarettes and cigarette lighters and more specifically to a cigarette smoker's accessory that comprises a cigarette case with lighter and pen.

[0004] To accomplish this, the invention comprises a four-in-one case that stores and protects a pack of cigarettes, a lighter, and a pen. The invention comprises a durable, heat-resistant plastic that is sized to house a standard pack of cigarettes. The case opens at the top to accommodate cigarettes packaged in a hard pack. the invention, in another example, features a split, hinged lid for soft pack cigarettes. The side of the case features an ovular cylinder that is sized to accommodate a standard disposable lighter. Such disposable lighters are well known in the art. An indentation in the lighter cylinder provides for removable storage of a specialized ball point pen. An alternate example of the invention does not include the full cigarette case. [0005] The alternate example features a metal clip that provides for the lighter cylinder to be removably attached to any cigarette package, pocket, or other object. [0006] The invention prevents separation of cigarettes and lighter, while also providing the usefulness of the specialized pen. The specialized pen is comparatively short and features a removable top that pushes onto the bottom of the pen for greater length and comfort in pen use.
