How many ashtrays do you have?

[Capn_Jackson]

We had a kid’s birthday party this weekend on the back porch, and my wife suggested I clean up my ashtrays. Then, she asked a question for which I did not have an answer. While I know where I got all of these ashtrays (okay, all but one), I had no answer for why I have this many. The FOH ashtray is my everyday. The pottery one was made for me by my mother-in-law. The Opus tray was a prize. The crystal one was payment for a recording session. 🤣

I’m very sure that some of you have many more, and I’m sure you have at least once asked yourselves the same question: Why do I have so many f#@%ing ashtrays?

How many do you have? Let’s see your collection! Post ‘em up!

Where does one score an FOH ashtray?

Those were up around this past Christmas, an initiative started by @wathabanos for the Christmas Split.

Ah, thanks Brother.

It’s a sweet one, too. Definitely the favorite, but don’t tell my mother-in-law.

Like some sort of heathen, I have zero ash trays. The closest thing I've got it a wooden centerpiece from our wedding day, but it looks a touch too flammable to be considered a proper ash tray. 

I need to sort it out and get myself a nice one. I recall someone on here having a nice glass number that's worth a look, maybe @99call?

When I first moved to Texas, I didn’t have one, and used to smoke on my apartment balcony. Somehow an empty Chinese take-out box became my stand-in, and I used it for weeks. Wedged the cigar between the upturned flaps, and always had a drink nearby in case I needed to extinguish anything. Well, one day I went inside to grab another beer and got distracted for a minute. When I walked back to the sliding door, I saw a small but substantial blaze on the concrete floor of the balcony. After that, I bought the star-shaped one you see in the upper right corner.

About a dozen.

I have 3, including two Cohiba ashtrays that my son picked up in a trip to Fifth Ave. cigars in Germany. I tend to use this lighter as a makeshift, though.

[ha_banos]

I have 6 I think. Bit of a pain in the a** to gather them all for a photo but I'll try tomorrow...while the wife is at the gym!

For an ashtray, or just stand? Looks like a very serviceable stand.

[ReelMan]

Stand. It would be helpful if the lighter came with an attached cup, as well!

I have 2. An FOH one and an ornate ceramic one somewhere.

[Goldeneye]

I have one. If I smoke In my backyard it’s what I use and I think it’s all I will ever need. Although my daughter is getting into pottery and doing some nice pieces so I may ask her to make one for me.

 Now THAT is an invention worth exploring.

Now, THAT is what you call "nubbing a cigar". Well done!!!

I have used a shell on the beach, after my then-4-year-old chastised me…“Daddy, don’t put that in the sand.” 😂 

[ha_banos]

Here's 3, the rest are outside. I'll get them later.

[Chibearsv]

I’ve got several but I only use one. My grandfather’s copper tobacco bowl. It’s basically windproof, holds a weeks worth of ash and butts, and it belonged to my grandpa who I never met. 

[Li Bai]

I have three real ashtrays and a great number of carpets, shirts and pants that work off the books more often than not. 😁

[Havanaaddict]

A lot 😂 Most of them are the Habanos made one that I have collected over time and don't use. I have a lot more in storage I know I have a large Dunhill one and 2 matching smaller Dunhill ones a few smaller Cohiba ones + others my guess over 25. 😳 Thanks for posting this, now I fell like a have a problem.
