A novel, portable cigarette holder, extinguisher ashtray, which is capable of fitting into the pocket, purse or handbag of a smoker.
The holder-ashtray has been designed with a special throat consisting of three precision placed throttles that firmly holds the inserted cigarette by compressing the sides of the lighted cigarette, causing the lighted cigarette to be extinguished and held without damage for relighting.
The holder-ashtray has restricted internal throat throttles which press the sides of a lighted cigarette butt inserted into the holder-ashtray and smothers the cigarette. The entrance to the holder-ashtray is flared to enhance entry of the lighted end of the cigarette into the holder-ashtray. The interior of the holder-ashtray is gradually flared away from the throat to encourage the cigarette butt to drop into the interior of the holder-ashtray once the cigarette has been inserted past the throttles in the throat. When inverted, the holder-ashtray retains the cigarette butt against the bottom of the throttles which acts as a stopper and prevents ashes from falling out.
The holder ashtray is designed to hold standard manufactured cigarettes as well as an adaptor that will allow the holder ashtray to accommodate various diameter size slim cigarettes.
