ballophun Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I've been considering purchasing a decent ashtray but then had the greatest idea ever... I give you, the Mortar! What do you guys use? Actual ashtrays?
Fuzz Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Get a spare tubo, cut out 2 1"-1.5" long sections and split them down the centre. Glue the 1"-1.5" half tubes to the mortar to create a holder for your cigar.
westg Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Not a very good shot, and I could not be bothered loading again. However the glass one cost me a dollar at some market stall and it is my favourite, has a single malt scotch colour to it . It probably weighs more than the other three combined, It's a really cool ashtray and I use almost every day.
Rye Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Won a couple of ceramic branded ashtrays, but never use them. I love the solo antler ashtray/backscratcher I made awhile back. I am working on another with more saddles on it.
Nino Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Hm, more ashtrays, .... :-) I thought this was still about the Hotel Nacional ashtray but I see it's about ashtrays in general. So having to go into the cellar today to pick up cigars for this week-end's big herf, I took some pictures of mostly unused ashtrays in my collection. But first my go-to daily ashtray I use permanently - it's a Mexican-German mix, the top being from Mexico City and the bottom a carved out piece of century old hard wood from a wine vat. I love it : Then some others I keep at home in case friends come over : A vintage Cubana Airlines ashtray I picked up in Havana this year : And some pieces I keep unused in my cellar - a fine piece from La Casa Cubana in Singapore : Another fine piece from Beijing's Casa Habana : And a RyJ ashtray from the 2006 FdH : Plus some more ashtrays that are unpacked, have been given over to the pharmacy for use there or given away to friends ... Don't tell my wife ...
CanuckSARTech Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Some of mine: And some others that I have, but don't have actual pictures for:
GreenPosiden Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I usually just ash straight into my hand. 1

stargazer14 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Nino, I LOVE the wood ashtray, also the Monti and Punch very nice. Let me know if you don't have room for them anymore.
Dara Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Love the Cubana ashtray Nino...that's a nice piece of aviation porn!
GreenPosiden Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Green, that's awesome!! Thanks mate, picked it up last time I went back home to Beijing.
Nino Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Love the Cubana ashtray Nino...that's a nice piece of aviation porn! You can use it day after tomorrow here in the village .... I bring the ashtray - you bring the sticks :-) PS : Wait, there's this jar we can use ... :-))))))

jimb2u Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 The ashtray or the cigar? He is responsible for both :-)
Miner Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Bali ashtray, cheap as and does an wonderful job.
oliverdst Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 My every-day ashtray it the following one: I usually smoke alone so it's enough. When I have friends I use a bigger one. But what I want to show you is my big dump: I know it is not pretty but it is effective. When it is full I take another 5 liters water bottle and start over.
Drguano Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 I just bought this one to use on the patio at my daughter's in London
CaptainQuintero Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Captain quinteros that is a great ashtray. Where did you pick it up? http://www.tabak-pietsch.de/index.php?cPath=27_57 Excellent little store, the owner is one of the nicest people you could ever hope to deal with, humidors are sent in the shipping equivalent of fort knox too!
