Expensive ashtrays?

[cashedash]

I was curious why cigar ashtrays are so expensive? I guess it does cost money to have a brand name put on them and there are not a lot of people that smoke cigars that need an ashtray. Here is one I like for 30 dollars and 50 dollars at another site.

I know they're expensive, $44 for the Oliva is a lot. I think right now I have 14 ceramic ashtrays. My name is Wade, and I have an ashtray problem!

Just an accessory. Just like cutters, tubes, lighters...all of them are status symbols in my opinion...but it could be worse...this one is only $1,500...but it also comes with a lighter! Great deal!!!

WOW do you ever use that one?

I use my drive way or I use this 2x4 that I drilled a hole in and chiseled out a slot for the cigar to rest into. Kind of red neck of me. :rofl: But I can not smoke inside so I do not really need one.

I would never spend that much on an ashtray. I currently am using a empty flower pot

I saw the Tat ashtray on ebay the other day for like a $100. WTF, you get those for free, same with oliva ashtrays, just ask a rep after you buy a box. I enjoy a nice looking ashtray, but give me a break.

its amazing how cheap that a lot of these cigar accessories can be bought for at a wholesale level. Then the branding and packaging happens, and a $6 item turns into a $20 item. I see this a lot with lighters.

That would be nice to have a room to smoke in. If only my parents were smokers.

I have the first ashtray I ever bought, a 3-Finger job that came with a pleather case and a 25 Count Humi from Thompson (yeah, yeah, I know...). I have one that my son made me in ceramics that is my go to and a small one which I picked up at Tommy Bahama.

I too am relegated to the deck or to the porch so I need one that if it hits the ground well, it just hits the ground.

I am in the market though for a CAO (football shaped).

I just mean to say that you often can get these at events as part of a swag pack. If you go to an event say you meet a rep, ask if he can hook you up with an ashtray when you buy your box. Often times these ashtrays come with the box sales at events etc...

don't stinky ashtrays go for like 20 bux? that's the right choice there...

The only ashtray I want in the CAO cubist. But for $99.00 on ebay, I think not..
I do not get many cigar events here and the wife hollars if I ash on the garage floor so I do now own a TAT ashtray.

Wish I could sell it for $100, then I would buy another
