New Ashtray Really Makes a Difference

[mgkrebbs]

I have never had a nice ashtray because when I have cigar-related cash, I always buy cigars (exceptions being a Palio cutter and Blazer lighter from Mark at Cigarmony). A friend recently gifted me a Romeo y Julieta ceramic ashtry that's about 12" across, nice and deep, and has 3 perfectly inclined slots. Smoking with a proper ashtray is really nice, especially since the ceramic cleans up really well with a hot water wipe. It keeps the cigar burning evenly when I'm distracted and just looks great sitting there.

I'd have to agree there, smoking a cigar is all about the overall experience for me, and having a nice tray to let your cigar rest on makes it all that much better!

congratulations mgkrebbs do you have any pictures of it?

Yeah, I'm sure it helps the overall experience. I'm in the market for a nice ashtray (not TOO nice). Looking to spend $20-30. Any suggestions or thoughts?

I got a great one on ebay. It is perfect for one smoker. It is stainless steel and is about 6' round with a rope handle and a great curved area for my cigar.

My wife bought me this ashtray and its awesome Sweet Daddy Las Vegas retro vintage sweet daddies ashtray: Bars Cigars and Brew Store

And I have about 5 more LOL. Funny thing is when I'm smoking I hardly ever put the cigar down, I just hold on to it. And seeing that at home I only smoke outside I really don't even need one. But they are still cool to have.

If you have others that smoke with you its hard to beat a stinky Stinky Cigar Ashtrays from SeriousCigars.com just don't knock it around to much, the stirrups are know to break off.

Of course its hard to beat a Tommy Bahama ashtray. I have a single cigar one from them I got at the Big Smoke a couple years back and love it. Cigarware, Ashtrays, Cigar Cutter - Tommy Bahama

I made one out of a block of redheart wood, but I think a big ceramic one would be nice.

Just bought a Padron ashtray myself. I had no idea what a cigar ashtray looked like until I opened the package and this monster came out! I guess I never really payed attention to the dimensions shown on the website.

Definitely loving having a proper one too. I've been making such a mess smoking up until now.

If you are looking for a ceramic one from a cigar company, try CBid. I have the Nat Sherman one from there that I got for $10 (plus shipping). They have been setting "Quick Buy" prices at $13.50 on a lot of the ones they are putting up. With shipping, that should come in right around your low end price if you "quick buy."

Just got a Black Cao "O" ashtray

Looks like this: CAO Black "O" 3 Cigar Ashtray - Polyvore

It should be at my doorstep today. Should be fine since I mostly smoke by myself. If I herfed a lot I'd get something bigger with more cigar rests like a stinky or just a bigger square one.

The bummer is that I bid on one at the devil site for $19 and the NEXT DAY I saw them on Joe's Jam for $15 shipped! So, lost $10 on that one ($19 + shipping), but oh well. It better not disappoint!

I went to a local antique store. TONS of ashtrays. I ended up with 3 and the prices weren't too bad! Good luck!

i have a carlos torano ash tray that is awesome

I also have a few Branded ash trays....they look so good I still use my old Flor De Copan Ash tray, and keep them unused-and looking good. The giant pint of Guinness does look good beside a nice ceramic tray though.
