Abstract
A cigar tool includes a casing with a hole through the casing. A pair of blades is pivotally connected to the casing, and each blade has a cutting edge, a closed position detent, a cutter position detent, and a deployed position detent. A spring is operably engaged with each blade to bias the cutting edge of each blade out of the casing. An actuator extends through at least a portion of the casing and has a hold position that prevents movement of the pair of blades with respect to the casing and a release position that permits movement of the pair of blades with respect to the casing. A selector is selectively engaged with the pair of blades to allow the pair of blades to move between a closed position in which each closed position detent is engaged with the actuator, a cutter position in each cutter position detent is engaged with the selector, and a deployed position in which one deployed position detent is engaged with the actuator.
