Looking for first ashtray!

I love my Stinky ashtrays, especially the floor-standing model in my cigar room.  The two reasons I like 'em so much is they'll hold a ton of ash, but mainly for their ample rests - makes it easy to lay my cigar and let it rest safe and secure.

I love my San Cristobal ashtray that I picked up at my local B&M, not cheap, but big, has ample cigar rests, and it's my favorite color. 

I thought I would like this one, but I don't. Seems a bit cheaply made and for me the long rest gets my wrapper all dirty.

I just looked at a few of the "tall" ones on the devil site. I love the looks of these!!!

And if you dispose of your butts (to keep the smell down) they hold enough ash for months and months worth of smoking.

Try Craigslist for your area.

And ebay.

For the time being you could scrounge around for a stiff copper wire and take some pliers and bend it to form a cigar rest (Stirrup) and hang it on the edge of the can. I know it isn't perfect but it's what I use. Got mine hung on a brass planter that's about the size of a coffee can. 

Don't forget 1001 uses for a coat hanger, lol.  

I have 2 ceramic ones for inside, outside I use plastic.  Think I got them at a Reny's up here, they have a big center rest for cigars.  One of the ceramics is the MOW, it's pretty big too, I can see me breaking that one someday.

I found this one a few years ago in a local junk/antique shop. Liked it so much I bought a couple more on ebay. Some are plain. Some carry corporate or event promotions. They are vintage ceramic from an Oklahoma pottery shop that used to have a store on old Route 66. Some of the rests are narrower than others on certain ashtrays but, all accommodate most cigars well enough. They are collectible but plentiful and not that valuable so if you broke it it's not that big of a deal. Between $10 and $20 usually.

I got one of these a few years ago at CFest and love it.  Couple of different angles to hold your cigar and the tray to hold a cutter, lighter, and nubber.  

Oh man that rocks!

That is one good looking tray to hold dust from a fallen stogie!

I have a large MOW one that you can have, never used.

I just ash on myself.

The Cigar.com 2 finger ashtray is the one I used all the time (until I dropped it). Inexpensive and looks nice too. As a matter of fact, I think  I got one free in a Sampler/with an order.
