What Makes a Great Cigar Ashtray?

Why do cigars need dedicated ashtrays?

A cigar ashtray collects ash and holds your cigar securely. Premium models feature dedicated cigar rests. You can set down your cigar steadily without holding it the whole time, with no risk of it rolling off and staining surfaces. This is not extravagance; it is a necessity.

Secure Cigar Rests 

This is non-negotiable. Your cigar should never shift or slide once placed. Otherwise, it may roll onto the table while you pause to chat mid-smoke.

Generous Ash Capacity

Cigars produce far more ash than cigarettes, especially large-ring cigars. One single cigar can fill nearly half a small ashtray. If the capacity is too limited, you will have to empty ash halfway through smoking and ruin your experience.

Premium Material & Great Texture

Smoking a cigar is all about enjoyment. A plastic ashtray on your table can ruin the vibe, even with the finest cigar. Textured materials like metal, ceramic and crystal are a worthy match for a great cigar.

Attractive Design

An ashtray isn’t something you stow away after use. It stays on your cigar table, tea table or in your study. A well-designed ashtray works as a decorative piece on its own.
