    Default Nice Ashtray

    In the market for a nice big heavy solid cigar ashtray. Glass, porcelain, granite, marble, agate, etc, etc... Something unique. Anybody have a good source for such things? Or maybe have something nice laying around that you'd be willing to part with?

    I hear a lot of people like the Stinky ashtray line. I have mostly porcelain ones around that I got here or there.

    I've seen these on Amazon, etc, and am not particularly fond of them, although I've never seen one in person... Looking for something more substantial. The stinkies look like thin sheet metal. Metal wouldn't be a bad thing, but I think I'd prefer something in a heavy brass, or maybe cast bronze or pewter if I went that route. Not real picky, just want something on the heavier side, and something unique that you don't see everyday. Thanks for your input though. I'll look more into the stinkies. Maybe they'll have something more to my liking than what I've seen so far..

    That's a fine idea, Dan! Although I'm a sucker for cast iron cookware, old rusty carbon steel knives, and other things from the days when things were actually made in the USA, and always end up coming home from flea markets with a lot more than I was looking for in the first place. This is a good excuse to make another haul!

    This is what I use. It an old piston out of a P&W engine that didn't meet the specs on the rebuild.
