Figure 1 isa perspective view of myimu Let us now assume that the holder is used n proved cigar .andV cigarette holder; 1n the smoking of a cigar-ette vor cigarv and i* igure 2 is a longitudinal Vertical section that the suction is applied to the mouthpiece me 5 of the holder; A 2vforv the purposev of causing the smoke to Figure 3l is a transverse sectiontalen on flow *through the holder. As the smoke line 3 3, Figure 2; fr ent-ers throughl the small-.opening 19 in the Figure l is a side elevation of the remov plug 7 it passes into the space between the able portion of the holder; and rods land cornes into Contact with the lter- 105 f 1 50 Figure 5 is al view showing thevend poring material, which serves to absorb any Y tion of the holder partly in sectionandis innicotine Y or other injurious chemical thaty tended Vto :show how it is used in connection may be Vcarried by the smoke. As the by- With cigars.V v '1, pass 11 has `its' ends in communication with y This holder colnprisesa `body portion ..1 the opening'l, vthereis a. tendencyfor smoke all@ Vwhich' may be formed of balrelite, hard/rub# to enter through the opening 13, pass along" ber `or any other suitable material. @neend the-by-pass opening and through opening le' Y tering` material may be replaced as often as may be tound desirable, and in this manner into the opening 5. This diversion of aportion of the smoke has a tendency to cause the condensates to pass downwardly and into the by-pass opening where they are trapped and from which `they maybe removed by removing the plug 12. It will be noticed that the ring 16 has been shown with a. central opening 17. rlhis is not necessary as the ring 16v may eXtend entirely across and be substantially the same diameter as the interior of the opening l leaving only suiificientl space to permit the snroke to pass between it and the walls of opening a. When the opening 17 is dispensed with, it is apparent that all of the smoke must pass through the iilter `material, and therefore a more thor ugh filtrationy will be obtained.

F rom the above it will be apparent that l haveprovided a simple holder that'is well adapted for use in connection with the smo-k ing of cigarettes and cigars and which is so constructed that it vwill filter the snioke and remove the .impurities therefrom, thereby producing a smoke that is harmless' and which has a soothing action that is absent from cigar and cigarette smokethat has not been filtered in this manner.

I wantto call particular attention to the construction embodying the by-pass 11 as Y this is considered to be ot great importance in this combination. It is .apparent from the drawing that the by-pass opening forms a trap orreservoirin which all liquids will accumulate and which can easily-be cleaned by the simple expedient of removing the plug 12.

Another 'feature oit the construction to which I desire to direct attention is theremovable plug member shown in Figure e, which serves to hold the filter material lin centered position within the opening el. This member is readily removable so that the tilthe holder vwill always be clean and will therefore not contaminate the smoke by adding foul odors thereto.

, .I want to call attention at this point to the f fact that it is my intention to saturate the filter material 18 with water or other suitable liquid and this will give off vapors which have a tendency to'cool the smoke and to modify it to such an extent that the sharp biting effects will be removed. ln this way the same beneficial effects can be produced as areproduced by the very elaborate water purifying pipes such as are employed by the rTurkish smokers.

Having described my invention what claimed as new is: n

A cigarette holder.comprising in combina` tion an elongated body member, having a portion thereof otl reduced cross sectionV and adapted to serve as a mouthpiece, an opening of small diameter extending throughl said reduced portion', anotheropening ot larger 'diameter extending inwardly trom the outer end of said by-pass opening and adapted to be removed so as to permit the by-pass open -A ing to be emptied and cleaned.
