It should be fun practicing for this. I saw some of the pics from the other contest, pretty amazing.

Thanks for hosting it over hear Drew.

are we looking for fully smoked, as your's is, or should there just be a good few inches of ash?

Creativity is key. Obviously though, the longer ashes will look more impressive.

I had a CAO Italia to a little over 3 inches. I was about ready to snap a test pick when I got the urge to sneeze. I tried to brace myself with no luck. I had fun trying though.

Hi Friends! Beware, I may be a newbie, but if creativity is the key to the ashstand, I might have a good shot at this. Pix to follow soon!

I am no cigar construction or physics expert, but it seems the squared ash from a box pressed cigar would have slightly better chances of standing than the round ash. As far as balance goes,that's my guess anyway...
