Abstract
A cigar mold includes a top mold member having a top surface and a bottom surface, and at least one upper mold recess is formed along the bottom surface of the top mold member. The cigar mold also includes a lower mold member having a bottom surface and a top surface, and at least one lower mold recess formed along the top surface of the bottom mold member. The upper mold recess mates with the lower mold recess to define a completely circular cigar mold cavity. The cigar mold cavity includes an open first end and a closed second end. The second end of the cigar mold cavity is substantially spherical and includes a diameter which is slightly larger than the diameter of the remainder of the cigar mold cavity as it extends between the first end and the second end.
