Rhinoww Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 It’s been a bit since it has rained here. I was doing some yard work and I had a distinct whiff of cigar ash in a number of places I have recently been smoking my cigars (and flicking my ash into the bushes). I’m trying to keep my wife from complaining too much about the cigars I’ve been smoking and want to contain the ash and the butts. When I'm smoking alone I have a little one cigar aluminum ashtray I picked up off of eBay a few years ago. It works great for one cigar and I can leave it outside for a long time. I tend to invite friends over for cigars and am looking for a decent larger ashtray I can use outside. FWIW glass and ceramics are a no go as I also smoke by my pool and need something that also won’t break into sharp pieces if dropped. So im looking for suggestions on something that can handle four cigars, won’t break and can handle being left in the elements. Yes, the bushes (and my neighbor’s in particular) work well, but in a small attempt to appease my wife, I’d like to try and contain the ash a bit. What do you all recommend/use? thanks in advance!
Colt45 Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 I've had this one for years. It's about nine inches in diameter and made of resin, which I think is a material that might fit your needs. 2
targa88 Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 You might want to look into Stinky ashtray 1

Lotusguy Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Great idea. Will take a look. Do you find it to be tippy at all? also curious if you leave it outside. Even though they are stainless steel, they eventually rust.
Oscar300 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 There are lots of people make them, the wind doesn't take the ash away, brilliant.
Tstew75 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 I love my Stinky someone gave me...super deep (wind proof), stable, good looking. $20 on Amazon 2

It looks like there is this one that is 3.7 inches square and then The Big Easy Tobacco co one that is 7 inches. Im meaning towards this design but wondering if the smaller size is enough for two cigars at a time?
Phillys Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 I use a stainless steel Stinky outside. Once a lot of rust sets in (it does take a while), I just buy a new one. Favourite ashtray by far, I think I have about 6 or 7...
Meklown Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 A few places in Asia use a hollowed-out bamboo trunk. Brilliant I must say, all natural and fits into the "outdoor" category, but of course it doesn't include any ledges to hold cigars. A quick search showed me products on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Chinese-carved-bamboo-brush-pot-or-bitong-scholars-in-garden-20th-C-/232859760139
