Rushman Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I love nice and unique ashtrays as much as the next cigar smoker. I really like found or homemade ones the best. Found this on the beach NYE and now it's in use on the terrace. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2
topdiesel Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 My brother in law dives for abalone. He has a ton of shells and uses those as ashtrays. They are the perfect size for it.
Ken Gargett Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 we've had these posts before. my fave remains one that i'll confessing to finding in my luggage when i returned - from a french hotel. it has a big 'no smoking' sticker across the bottom. 1
OZCUBAN Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Here is mine,trying to find a better pic had it about 5 years bought it at a LCDH in Melbourne it's had all sorts of abuse ,out in the element rain hail or scorching Aussie sun ,still looks as good as new brilliant ash tray Cheers
CanuckSARTech Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Agreed with Ken - a number of these, but love them the same. Got a number of Stinky's, some hand-made exotic wood ones from Cuba, a copper spittoon-style ashtray, that giant pewter grid one, Hotel Nacional marble, etc. Probably use my polished copper Stinky and my pewter grid ones the most. I definitely do like the natural material ones nicely - wood, stone, corral, etc. Nice find, Rushman, and a nice personal connection to that one too (rather than just buying from a store somewhere). Thx for sharing. 1
nick2021 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 I've seen some really nice custom marble ashtrays---the detail involved has always fascinated me. I'm glad you created this thread as I think ashtrays are sometimes overlooked.
AndrewNR Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 My favourite was my triangle monte cristo... I snapped it up at a bargain $120 down from the 300 retail... I washed it after every use.. kept it inside on my coffee table.. Eventually my partner and a friend started using it as an every day cigarette ash tray... I should've put my foot down.. Came home one day and found it in peices as my partner had picked it up to shake out the cigarettes.. She did offer to buy me another one.. But I can't convince myself to drop that kind of money somewhere an old tin can suffices again.. What can you do.
MrGTO Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 ^^^ ouch! $120 bucks for ash tray on sale?! I need to get into the ash tray making buisness.
FLB03TT Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Large Stinkys Rock! Love the utility. Empty them every couple of weeks.
polarbear Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I've got a couple of stinkys that live outside I've had then both for almost 5 years and they're starting to show what a hard life they've had (but the stirrups are still clean and shiny so its no biggie) They work great for when people come round for a herf I've also got a Cohiba Maduro knock off that a friend picked up for me in china ($12) that lives inside But, my fav by far is one a friend of mine made me in Canada. Shes into ceramics so she had to search high and low for the blank and then hand painted it to match a tattoo I've got. Its great
spicycorona Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Always have a few sea clam shells around when at the beach. My favorite ashtray.
benigma Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I just bough one of these, but haven't had an opportunity to use it yet.I'm hoping it will be good on those windy days
mrjon86 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Currently using either one of these: Found it in my dad's house, he was using it to place loose items. (change, batteries, paperclips etc, he didn't even know it was a cigar ashtray ) This I got from LCDH Federal hotel, Kuala Lumpur in a longest ash contest. Was for 2nd place. Would've won a signed Vegas Robaina humidor if it wasn't for those meddling kids! Washed after each use, hope these beauts will last me a lifetime.

Its great 20150108_191321_resized_1.jpg That's the one drawback with some of the specialty Stinky's - they're made from regular metal, not stainless steel (unlike the originals, herf, and polished copper variants, among a few smaller other ones).
