The competition winner for this has been drawn ...but it is too good not to continue posting up what you come across 

Post up the Ugliest/Most Unique ashtrays on the net today.  Current or vintage ....it doesn't really matter.  

Ashtray design can be an artform. Other times it can be a complete CF. Put those aspects together (artform/CF)and you have something that either puts a smile on your face/ makes you raise your eyebrows.....or both 

 

Some of those “art” ashtrays are straight unusable lol, like yeah cool sculpture but where am I supposed to rest the cigar without it rolling off. I had one that looked amazing, heavy glass, all fancy, total pain to clean and ash went everywhere. Give me something simple, deep bowl, solid rests, done. Unique is fun till you actually try to use it. 😅
