Cigar Ashtrays

[ggiese]

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!

BTW - the tobacco is also good for keeping some kinds of garden pests away from plants. I spread them around the plants I see signs of damage from the little critters - and it does help!

As far as my ashtray - I have several that were either given to me, or acquired very cheaply. I smoke outside, and tend to leave them on the patio. I'm afraid to spend big money, because most have suffered the effects of being exposed to the elements...

Thanks, George -- I have an aunt in Mundelein -- now I have a reason to visit.

I'm working on a stained glass cigar ash tray right now. I will be doing a review on one that I smoke soon so you can see what I came up with. Looking forward to hearing what you think.

Neither of these items have anything to do with me but I thought they were neat. Floor ashtray seem to have disappeared from larger main stream. You really have to look to the past to buy one.

I like the Viking ship. I also saw a really cool P-38 ashtray on Ebay made out of bullets. The base was the traditioinal sawn off shell casing but the P-38 was made out of 50bmg rounds and bullets.
OBTW, Cinda, I'm checking into some of the Cigar Store Indians. One has to really be careful because there are some "less than desireable" ones out there. Many are carved from unseasoned wood and big cracks will open up a few months after they start drying out. The vendors claim that this is "normal" but it doesn't have to be.

That is a kewl astray. I am guessing the old cigar store Indian are so expensive because of the obvious but too because you know the wood isn't going to crack because it has lasted this long.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I really appreciate it. I am almost certain there is enough of a demand for me to go ahead with this idea.

I've ordered some product and plan on finishing up the site this weekend (hopefully)...

Just looked into the stinky and it does seem to be a little pricy for how average looking the materials and set up is.

Any product suggestions, feel free to PM me..
