Cigar Ashtrays

[ashauler]

Welcome to the board.

I've bought several ashtrays -- although I usually only smoke in one room of the house or outside.

I've never bought an ashtray. I can't smoke in my house so I smoke outside and I ash in my lawn. I figure, in a backwards kind of way, that since I enjoy cigars so will my lawn!

But I might buy one someday.

Tobacco makes very good mulch.

Tobacco may, but the ash doesn't. It doesn't hurt compost, but it doesn't really add anything to it.

I use a flower pot or this old ceramic bowl I threw in college as an ashtray. Works for me. Sorry. I really like the big crystal single ashtrays, though. I also remember the old-school ashtrays on stands that were in fancy hotels back in the days where you could smoke in hotel lobbies.

That's what I've been looking for -- my grandmother had a pair when I was growing up that set the ideal for me -- no luck finding one that really has the same look and appeals to me yet.

If you're interested in one of the "old school" ashtrays, check Cigars and More in Libertyville. He used to have quite a few, and I believe he has some left. If not - I believe he knows where he can get more... They are cool looking!

Good point. The ash would be way too alkaline, like dumping lye on the plants. The butts on the other hand are probably on the acidic side and for me work great on roses which need acidic soil.

I've always wondered, how long does it take a cigar butt to break down in soil or compost?
