Patent attributes
A self-locking cigar cutting tool aids in the effective preparation of a cigar for consumption by creating a clean-cut mouthpiece. The self-locking cigar cutting tool is provided with a first retainer plate and a second retainer plate, wherein a cutting arm is pivotably mounted therein. An annular cutting aperture is formed into the first retainer plate and the second retainer plate, wherein the fixed blade is engaged into the annular cutting aperture opposite the cutting arm. The arcuate channel is formed into the cutting arm such that the detent element may operably engage between the cutting arm, and the first retainer plate and the second retainer plate. The detent element may be biased into a locked configuration, wherein the cutting arm will be captured in a closed configuration. The cutting arm may be biased into an open position, causing the cutting arm to extend when released from the detent element.
