Definitions

• the present invention relates to a cigar holder adapted to continuously dispense a flavouring particularly a Sweetening agent into the mouth of the smoker during the smoking of the cigar.
• the present invention relates to such a cigar holder molded from a resin containing a flavouring particularly a sweetening agent therein.
• Typical sweetening agents used for this purpose are saccharin, sodium saccharin or sodium or calcium cyclamate and these are conveniently included in the adhesive e.g. gum tragacanth with which the free end of the binder and the wrapper are sealed in the manufacture of the cigar.
• a cigar holder adapted to continuously discharge a fiavouring agent particularly a sweetening agent into the mouth of the smoker, said holder having at least that portion normally held in the mouth molded from a resin containing a flavouring agent, said agent being stable at the molding temperature of the resin.
• the present invention also includes the molding poW- der from which the aforesaid cigar holders are produced which comprises a resin powder having a powdered fla- "ice vouring agent particularly a powdered sweetening agent intimately admixed therein.
• flavouring agent according to one embodiment of the present invention is a sweetening agent and thus is most commonly used at the present time. However it will be readily apparent that any type of flavouring agent may be used depending upon the taste desired in the smokers mouth.
• flavouring agent in the resin has essentially no effect on the conven tional process by which the cigar holders are molded and, as such, conventional techniques and machines may be used for making the cigar holders. It is, however, essential that the flavouring agent is stable at the temperature at which the resin is molded to form the cigar holder and in this connection synthetic sweetening agents have particular application.
• synthetic sweetening agents saccharin, sodium saccharin and sodium and calcium cyclamate may be mentioned.
• flavouring agent present in the resin molding powder and, as such, in the product cigar holder is not critical and is purely subjective in that it depends upon the level of flavour which the cigar manufacturer desires to be present in the smokers mouth.
• synthetic sweenting agents these are particularly effective sweetening agents in that small amounts produce a strong sweetening effect, amounts in the range 1 to 25% by weight based on the weight of the resin have been found to be generally suitable.
• the resins from which the cigar holder may be made are the conventional resins from which these cigar holders have previously been made as the presence of the flavouring agent has little effect upon the resin and the method of molding as has been explained aforesaid.
• Typical resins which may be mentioned in this respect include polyacetal, polyacrylic resins, polyallyl resins, amine resins such as urea or melamine resins, casein resins, cellulosic resins, polyesters, polyolefines, phenolic resins, polyvinyl resins, polystyrene resins and coumarone indene resins.
• Synthetic resins, in particular polyolefines, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, have been used with adzantage.
• a cigar holder adapted to continuously discharge a flavouring agent into the mouth of the smoker, said holder being molded at least in part from a particulate polyolefin resin molding material in which the said flavorant is incorporated, the said flavorant being a synthetic sweetening agent which is normally stable at the temperature at which the holder is molded.
