Just curious as to what kind of ashtray everyone uses/likes. I have a crystal tray that I picked up at a consignment shop but the slots aren't big enough to hold a stick over 50.

    Picked one up from a thrift shop with cigar sized rest.  Name of hotel on it.

    I've broken every ceramic ashtray I've own so now I use a free My Father plastic one

    Stinky floor model in the smoking room; concrete floor in the garage.

    Here's my fave ashtray; but it's too kewl to use:


    Scored that tray at the thrift store. Love it. Ought to go back there. That there gar's an Uppowoc Maks setting on it. So named cause the mold for it was made by a Slovenian farmer named Maks.

    That is way too beautiful to use as a mere ashtray! Very nice work Marty!
    Do you have a smaller one laying around that you would be willing to sell?
    PM me yes or no please.

    My favorite (for garage use) is a makeshift ashtray.  Brass flowerpot hand-made in India with a copper wire fashioned into a cigar rest. It ain't pretty but it does the trick. It's heavy enough to stay put if I bump it. Roughly 5" tall, 5" wide at the rim 4" at the base so it doesn't take up a lot of space. The copper wire is bent to hang on the rim of the pot similar to the old trays the carhops used to hang on your car window at drive-up burger joints like Sonic. 







    My other favorite is an old Frankoma 458. (You can buy these on ebay.) It has big enough rests for cigars. Some have corporate advertising and some are plain.

    That's awesome Charlie.  I remember one of those growing up.  Have to go searching now

    Our jurisdiction has one available, but I never looked into it.

    I was given this Espinosa 601 Bomb ashtray by my local, it holds a lot of cigar butts and ash and keeps the cigar out of the wind while outside when you put one in the rest. It has a fuse sticking up that you can't really see and I like the color.
