I believe he's right. It definitely sounds like it's a cigar cutter. Better cigars are sold without a hole in the end that you put into your mouth, so you use that device to clip off a small amount from the end. Tom From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:blindhandy...@yahoogroups.com]

Unfortunately, while you can buy just the rubber flapper part, usually the damage is on the seat which is the harder plastic or nylon. The seat etches from corrosion and then the flapper valve can't seal completely. Trouble is, you can replace the flapper from the top without a lot of problem
