Benefits of technology

[0007] It is a further object of the present invention to provide an improved cigar holder for easy attachment to a golf club bag.
[0008] It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an improved holder for holding a cigar, cigarette, or the like, wherein the holder is removably attachable to a standard size snap attachment.

Problems solved by technology

However, when the golfer is ready to take his turn to hit the ball, it is necessary to take the cigar out of his mouth, and temporarily set it aside, as keeping the cigar in the mouth while swinging the golf club would likely interfere with the golfer's shot and might also lead to the cigar being dropped or damaged.
Some golfers have been known to set their cigars on the ground while taking the shot, but this can be unsanitary to place the cigar portion that will be put back in the golfer's mouth onto the ground.
Also, the hot, lit end of the cigar might damage the grass on the course.
However, the golfer may not always wish to have the cigarette placed close to the ground.
Also, these types of holders may not be compatible for attachment to a golf cart, should the golfer be employing a cart.

[0002] Some participants in certain sports, such as golf, for example, enjoy smoking while taking part in the sport. Cigar smoking is currently popular for golfers. However, when the golfer is ready to take his turn to hit the ball, it is necessary to take the cigar out of his mouth, and temporarily set it aside, as keeping the cigar in the mouth while swinging the golf club would likely interfere with the golfer's shot and might also lead to the cigar being dropped or damaged. Some golfers have been known to set their cigars on the ground while taking the shot, but this can be unsanitary to place the cigar portion that will be put back in the golfer's mouth onto the ground. Also, the hot, lit end of the cigar might damage the grass on the course. [0003] To alleviate these concerns, various solutio...
