I'm sensing a divide here, you got some guys that paid for their nice ashtrays, and then you have guys that found something that resembled a container and use that or failing that use the ground or themselves as ashtrays.
I agree Garen. If I'm herfin with a buddy or even multitaskin surfing for cigar deals hahah Then I like to set my cigar down. with out worrying about it rollin off the table or something

Which category do I fit in? I didn't pay for mine, but it's a nice ashtray...just came free with a box purchase of cigars I happen to like...win win situation right there.
I got a plain clear glass ashtray from wally-world for 5 bucks. Not the small cigarette ashtray...it's about 6 inches across and pretty thick with room for three sticks. I really like it, I just leave it outside and dump the fallen soldiers into an empty plant pot. Looks classy, and for 5 bucks, you can't beat it.

You kinda fall in between the two, you have a nice ashtray, but you sorta stumbled upon it. I dunno, all I know is that I'm a bit jealous. And that Lassy likes burros in ways that probably are illegal.

This thread, combined with the fact that I just ashed my cigar, got me to thinking. When you guys smoke, do you flick the ash yourself, or do you just let it fall? Does the spot you're smoking in determine how you ash? I try to knock the ash off myself if I'm inside, because I don't like to clean up the mess. It usually falls before I get around to it though, lol.
I try to roll my ash off, not to be fancy, but the last time I flicked the ash onto my shirt and burnt a hole into it.
I smoked an Ashton VSG once that I had abused a bit. When the first ash got to about one inch I flicked it...since I had abused the cigar (crushed the foot in my cooler) I guess the cigar had some unfinished business with me, because the ash fell squarely on the web between my thumb and forefinger and burned the sh!t out of it. So let that be a lesson, treat your cigars nicely or they'll pay you back.
If I'm paying attention I'll break the ash off at about and inch and a half. If I'm not paying attention it will fall into my lap hahah
I've been wanting to add a new category to cigar reviewing titled "ash-to-crotch-landing." In the mystery cigar thread, my cigar C got an 8.7 in that category when the ash landed just on the inside of my leg. It probably deserved a bit more since the ash was over two inches long and probably exploded some of it north a bit, but I was only thinking of standing up to avoid burning my jeans.
I like to free ball it. I only smoke outside so I do not use an ashtray unless I am at my BandM. I do not smoke in the house because of my little kids. Plus free balling it is fun

I too freeball...the earth is my ashtray.
For those that tend to burn their crotch allot, maybe free-ballin' isn't the best idea.

Unless you're into that sort of thing, then I guess you're getting more out of your cigars than some of us are.
I always smoke outside on the porch so I walk out to the grass and ash it when I think it's about to go. Sometimes I don't make it....so I may pick up a nice ashtray to keep on the porch. I have been eying up and Oliva one for a while now....may go and pick up it soon.
My indoor ashtray is cool black and red and made in scandinavia... but I think it's made for swishers or for cigarettes, I have to empty it halfway through, I need a good ashtray!
