The present invention resides in a cigarette moist ening apparatus including a container for storing a liquid suitable for moistening a cigarette. The moistening apparatus is characterized by a hollow stem (14, 114) movably mounted to the container and projecting therefrom in a first direction, means (18, 22) for discharging the fluid through the hollow stem (14, 114) upon movement of the stem (14, 114) relative to the container, and a button (24, 124) mounted on the stem, the button (24, 124) having a cigarette-receiving bore (32, 132), the bore (32, 132) having a bore axis (34, 134) extending in a bore direction generally transverse to the first direction, the bore (34, 134) having an open end (36, 138) adapted to receive an end of a cigarette so that the cigarette projects lengthwise in the bore direction, the bore (32, 132) communicating with the hollow stem (14, 114), whereby a cigarette can be moisturized by inserting the same in the bore (32, 132) and engaging the button (24, 124) to thereby move the stem.
