My Opa (Grandpa in Dutch) was a man who loved the ritual of smoking, and as such, he collected quite a few ashtrays over the years. After he passed away many of his ashtrays went into storage not to seen again until recently when I was helping my dad clear out some old boxes from the basement and we came across the ashtrays. After bringing them up from the basement, I started putting them to work with some of my favorite cigars. I love feeling a connection to the past through using these vintage ashtrays that are older then me by many years.
Anyone else have some cool vintage ashtrays they use? On the internet I've seen some really wild looking ones that border on museum worthy pieces of art in articles like this: https://coolmaterial.com/home/best-vintage-ashtrays/
It was really cool to see after reading the article that I already own one of the ones on the list ๐
