Which ashtray should I get

[TheVitaleMob]

Which one should I get?

Stinky

Padron

 

[cody5thou]

If you like the stinky, dont waste your $. Cut open a soda can! :laugh:

 

[Jonesy]

The Padron is a nice looking ashtray. I'm a Padron whore so I'm a little biased anyway. :laugh:

 

[Shooter]

The stinkys for 18 is not a bad deal I just have a hard time balancing the smoke after a few drinks. I would go for the Padron myself.

 

[Smoking Mex]

The Padron is very nice, I love mine. The stinky is deep and holds a lot but looks like a fruit bowl.

 

[audilicious]

my lounge changed over to the stinky. and I do not like it one bit, especially after drinking what seemed like 1000 beers.

 

[billytpage]

I don't have the luxury of smoking inside! I do have a Padron signed by the man himself. It looks great and really confuses visitors when they see it sitting on my coffee table :laugh:

I've had nice ceramic ash trays, and no doubt they are pretty to look at, but the ones I've had were a bzotch to keep clean. And, if you get too aggressive with your cleaning methods, you can take the glaze right off of 'em. We now have a Stinkey on each deck and I'd buy another. Pretty damn tough, easy to scrub out, etc.

If you're going to use it, my vote goes to the Stinkey....

I'm with B.B.S. on this one. I have a nice counterfeit Hoyo de Monterrey ceramic ashtray and it get has gotten less than pretty from actual use. Guys have brought the Stinky to herfs and I thought it was a fantastic accessory. I do agree with the folks who have difficulty perching their cigars in the minimalist stirrups. I realize the indent on an ashtray is the only part that actually cradles and holds the cigar and the Stinky incorporates only the indent function via the stirrups. However, having a bit of a ledge on either side of the stirrup would really make it easy to place the cigar by giving you a little extra real estate to make contact with and guide the cigar into the holder.

Shooter, my friend, it has a lot to do with that JP4 you serve up for cocktails..... :laugh:

I've always found the stirrups on the Stinky's to be pretty user friendly, but maybe my beverage octane just isn't up to snuff...... :laugh:

Man I got lucky....I bought a nice Cohiba ash tray from Rocky's Cigars (25$) but it doesn't cradle the cigar enough for my liking...though it looks nice. I went to my local B&M and they gave me a nice heavy ceramic ash tray with 4 inch cradles for free because I bought a handful of smokes.

 

[Shadow]

I have both and I always use the Stinky. I don't have a problem with the stirrups, because the only time I put a cigar down is when I'm finished with it. :whistling:


Seriously, I use the Stinky because it's big and easy to clean. I don't have any problems with the stirrups. And its the only ashtray that fits my Stinky Stand dammit!

Another vote for Stinky. It may not look the prettiest, but it's completely functional, holds a ton of ashes and is easy to clean (if you're into that kind of thing).

This is a tough one but I would go with the Padron. I have a 4 finger stinky (insert joke here) and I like it but I do have issues with cigars getting knocked off if someone bumps the table or if I don't place them dead center. On the other hand, it can handle a long evening worth of nubs and ashes and is very easy to clean.

I had to vote for the Stinky as you can drop it and not have to worry about it shattering in a million pieces. :laugh:

 

[Islesfan]

If you're a herf hound go with the stinky for volume. For looks I would go with the Padron. You might want to check out JR cigar because they give a lot of nice ceramic ashtrays away with a box purchase. You might be able to get a box of smokes and a nice ceramic ashtray. I was able to pick up 3 over the years; two RyJ ashtrays and a nice black ceramic Nat Sherman ashtray.

Don't know whether you like NC Boli's, but here's an ashtray JR is giving away with a purchase....

I like the Padron one TVM but "stinky" is a pretty cool guy. I saw him post on some other board and I like his style. :thumbs:
