best ashtray

[Ken Gargett]

the great ashtray in the thread on the 40th cohiba smokes got me wondering. any others out there? i am not yet up to posting photos - may bring it up so rob can - but my favourite is one that i must confess i pinched from a novatel hotel in burgundy.

i was in a non-smoking room. in it was, so french, an ashtray. across the bottom of the ashtray is a 'no smoking' sticker. priceless.

My most recent favorite was a seashell while I was on vacation earlier this month. The one I use most often at home is square aluminum with four cigar indents that allow the cigar to rest totally on the ashtray.

I've been on the lookout for a nice ashtray lately. I'd love something like pigfish's, but all I've seen around town is glass, not ceramic. I've never really seen proper cigar ashtrays in restaurants/hotels either. The place where I do most of my smoking (the Westin for those in sydney) just has those crappy generic glass cigarette ashtrays. It's right next to a bloody cigar store for crying out loud! You can't rest your cigar without having to put it in amongst all the ash and other crap.

at home i just use a small glass jar but have one of rob's u-beaut ciagr-resters next to it, which all works a treat.

Black cat this ya bastards!!

I have an ashtray made from a piston which was originally one of the eighteen in Pratt & Whitney's R-2800 cu. in radial engine, used to power aircraft like the Constellation & DC 6.

I was given it as a leaving present years ago & it is one of my proudest posessions.

Sad I know, but hey, I'm a sad demented & tortured soul!

I was an usher in a wedding recently and was gifted a Colabri cigar travel set. The set folds open to reveal an ashtray with a 2" long cigar rest, quite convenient . It also contains a single blade guillotine, useless, and a punch which works quite well. Well it the thought that counts and This gift will probably travel along with me and get some use.

My deck ashtray is a pewter candy dish that is usually left out and a wonderful dish which I refer to as cigar soup is created after a good rain storm.

I must have no class. I use a spaghetti sauce jar. Since I never put my cigars down, I don't need a rest. And it holds a ton of ash (the butts go into my flower bed) and when it's full, I just dump it out and start over.

I also have a WWII resistance piece. It is an ashtray from Belgium with a small child peeing into it. He is actually peeing on the swastika in the bottom of the ashtray.

Probably my favorite unique ashtray is the one in the posted link below:

Very unique personal portable one that fits in your flat jacket pocket resting inside a nice leather sleeve.

Would always get interesting and favorable comments whenever used.

I ended up gifting it to a friend of mine in Sweden.

Opus X numbered collectors ashtray is my finest but the one I use the most is a Trinidad model signed by Rob and Lisa. I use a mussle shell from the river at the cabin.

Mine is one from the Hotel Sacher in Vienna. Too nice to use so I have a VSOP Courvosier Cognac Ashtray. That is what I use day to day.

My best ashtray is an old electrical housing box for a wall outlet. Now THAT'S fancy.

I like the Prometheus ashtrays for everyday use, with the price tag so low, you don't feel bad about putting a nub out in it! LOL!

i have a couple of antique smoking stands that were my wife's grandfather's.

if he sees this, xrun may share some pictures from some of the smoking stands he has refurbished. very nice work.

[spsurfin]

My favorite as it was a gift from the Piggy

[kab55]

I like the Craftsman Bench ashtrays for every day use.

Maverick............. Top one mate I imagine you move the little slider along under your cigar as your smoke progresses. Very good ...........Nice Pic!:-D

[mr.harten]

My favortie ashtray would have to be my "Cigar Lounge" which was made by a gentleman named Bob Walton. He makes them for a very reasonable price and they perfectly cradle your cigar.

This photo was taken less than an hour ago while smoking this SLR Regios.

That is right. However, once the wife saw how much this cost 80EUR and as you can see from the pic the cigar is not lit. I am told its for show only!!!!!!!

I bought this in Vienna at the Hotel Sacher, and had to transport it across Europe while we backpacked on our honeymoon. So it is a marvel that it actually survived back to Brisbane.
