An ashtray's job or purpose is to keep the 'ashes' produced by your cigarette, cigar or Cuban cigar in a nicely tucked away place. Let's face it, ashes are disgusting, especially the ones that are generated by cigarettes. That is why an ashtray is essential when enjoying a cigarette, or a Cuban cigar. See, what you have too keep an eye on is getting an ashtray that actually does the job.



Ashes symbolize that you've just smoked the tobacco and this is what's left of it. Ashes are not meant to be consumed and contain dangerous chemicals that can be very harmful to your body. So does every smoke but I guess it's a personal decision for people if they want to smoke it or not. Smoking overall is not very healthy friendly but my goal is to educate you on the subject rather than just tell you to stop it.

So overall, I guess you see the value of an ashtray or as I like to call it, the 'unsung' hero of smoking. See people like to talk about different things or different type of Cuban cigar brands but I feel like we shouldn't let the little things escape our mind such as the 'ashtray'. Yes we take it for granted but an ashtray is just as essential as a lighter to your Cuban cigar.

An ashtray is your friend and your true friend especially if you are a smoker. As the ashes produced are very negative to your personal health and must be disposed of quickly.

Now it's all up to you on what kind of ashtray is right for you. With so many designs and different manufacturer's to choose from, it all depends on what your smoking habits and needs are. You can go for the very basic one that you can purchase from any convenience store or your can simply go to a special custom designer and give them any shapes or size that you prefer and have them make one out for you.
