And what about those 4 cigar stirrups? Did Stinky just make them for show? Well, of course not! The cigar stirrup must be the right length, width and curve to work properly! Many traditional ashtray designs fail here too. If the notch intended to hold the cigar is too short, it becomes very difficult to find the center of gravity and balance the cigar. The cigar tips into, or worse yet, out of the ashtray and roll off the table! It is undesirable for a cigar to contact any debris inside the ashtray. Nobody wants his or her fine cigar to contact (and melt) cellophane or even touch someone’s old butt. Any cigar enthusiast knows how important the burn ring is. A true cigar enthusiast does not want to knock off the ash inadvertently by tipping the cigar into an empty ashtray, not to mention resting a cigar on the lit foot. This may well be the best cigar ashtray around! And we have great pricing on these!
