Popular Post wathabanos Posted October 22 Popular Post Posted October 22 Greetings! I founded the US FOH Christmas Split back in 2022 and every year I try to find something that can be personalized for the split. In 2023 we did an acrylic humidor etched with the FOH Monkey & Word Mark Logos. In 2024 we did a miniature shipping crate designed to look like the crate from the movie, It's a Christmas Story! This year we're doing a ceramic ashtray that swaps out the Montecristo logo (same manufacturer and design Habanos uses for the Montecristo square Ashtray) for the FOH Monkey & Word Mark Logos along with a nice script lettering out Christmas 2025. Note: I'm open to removing the word Christmas and just having it say 2025, if that broadens the appeal. Is there any interest in folks outside the split acquiring one of these gorgeous pieces, if I may say so myself, for their own collection? (@El Presidente I've already got one marked down for you good sir, Merry Christmas) Ashtray Specifics: 4 Cigar Rests,Easily Wiped Clean,Deep Basin Sleek Ceramic Design - Black and Gold Size:Diameter 8.5"X8.5"X3 ,Weight:4lb Pricing: The pricing I'm receiving right now is around the same price the Montecristo retails for ($100), but with volume I'm sure that price will go down. Once we have an approximation of those interested, I'll get a final price (shipping not included) for all. Pricing Update: 01NOV - $75.00/ea (USD) + Shipping Please express your interest no later than Saturday November 1st, 12Noon GMT. Updated Deadline: Sunday November 23rd, 12Noon UTC Shipping Note: With the shipping uncertainty out of the US (these will ship from Indiana, USA), please let me know your country when expressing interest. I'd want to make sure I can ship to you before taking any money. Lastly, If requested by FOH leadership, all records and transactions will be available for viewing/audit. This will be a group buy scenario and no profit will be made from the sale of the ashtrays. I'll ensure a loss before earning a penny. The reason behind expanding this beyond the split participants is simple and two-fold: More ashtrays = cheaper for all and It's a killer look imo...why not share the Christmas Joy! Cheers! ---- Current Count of Interested Parties (including the 12 from the split +1 for El Prez) = 56 (as of 01NOV 2330z) ---- UPDATE 14NOV2025 - PAYMENT & SHIPPING INFORMATION HAS BEEN UPDATED IN THE THREAD. PMs for PAYMENT DETAILS ARE GOING OUT TODAY-WEEKEND. DEADLINE FOR NEW PURCHASES EXTENDED UNTIL SUNDAY NOVEMBER 23RD @ NOON UTC TIME!!! UPDATE 19NOV2025 - ALL 50 UNITS FROM FIRST BATCH RECEIVED.

alsiola Posted October 23 Posted October 23 If you could get them to the UK I would take two, they look great.
zacca Posted October 23 Posted October 23 I posted in the other thread about hopefully getting in on the Christmas split but if not, I’d be interested in this. And I vote to keep “Christmas 2025” in FWIW.
Smatthews607 Posted October 23 Posted October 23 Have never done the Christmas split, but would love the ashtray. Count me in!
wathabanos Posted October 24 Author Posted October 24 That's 24-25 interested parties so far!! I have a message out asking for a breakdown on discount for volume purchases, will post what I hear back. 2
Duxnutz Posted October 24 Posted October 24 I’d like to hear more about the upcoming Christmas split. Also interested in this ashtray since my wife just used the blower and blew mine off the deck into a million pieces. 1

Go to the U.S. underground forum to find the thread for the Christmas split. @wathabanos does a phenomenal job putting it together each year. 1
