Hmm, it's awesome, very intense. I wouldn't pay more than $50, so it will probably sell for $100*. Bye-bye Benjamin.

there is a certain cachet to 'crystal'. Sparkly, high refractive index, but ultimately it is just glass with the zinc or barium oxides substituted for the lead that formerly was used. The ash tray probably shouldn't cost more than $30.
His cigar prices for what he puts out are way better than many other companies, however this being what it is I would guess it will not be less than 75.00.

My newest work from home project ashtray. Cut down casing from a 3 inch 50 caliber shell.

And what are you going to use it for, Sherm? Isn't a 50cal shell only 1/2" wide?

Yeah that's pretty cool.
Kinda' looks like the cash we are burning to make the ash.
I'm stealing that line.....
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
That was my first thought too.
I'd buy one, but I wouldn't use it... too nice.
Be interesting to see what he thinks it is worth, I'm guessing $75.
I'm guessing $95

^^^ number made would factor into that, and what it'll take to put their trademark 'green-dollar-bill-looking-thing' on the bottom.
It's just an ash tray. Whatever they charge will be too much.
Trapped in the People's Communits Republic of Massachusetts.
It'll be a sticker backwards that's they'll affix to the bottom of the glass, I'm sure.
And @Usaf06 would ash in it.
My case iron frying pan ashtray was free.
Saka is the master salesman....I'll say $100 just like his unicorn.
If we're going to all make a guess, then I'll guess $49.99 msrp
