Abstract

A snubber having a cigarette chamber and cap that releasably holds a cigarette inserted into the chamber during extinguishment or snuffing that communicates with an ash trap that accumulates ash from an extinguished cigarette. One or more vent ports allow the cigarette and cap to displace atmosphere within the chamber during insertion preventing blowback and ash scatter while facilitating ash collection. The cap can include an orifice through which a cigarette held by the cap can be smoked. When inserted into the chamber, a user can blow through the orifice to purge ash from the cigarette into the trap. Purging can also remove stale air and smoke from the cigarette and snubber helping clean the cigarette for later reuse. When removed from the chamber, a user can blow through the one or more ports to purge accumulated ash from the trap blowing it out of the chamber cleaning the snubber.
