Perfect -buy all of them. MOAR cigars

Curious— ashtrays. Our felt is a table topper outside, but everyone smokes. I’ve got one 3-cigar ashtray, but that’s awkward in the middle. How do you all deal with lots of stogies round the table?

I purchased some of these small individual ash trays and they get the job done.

I've also thought about a couple larger ash trays on rolling carts/side tables would work too.

I bought 4 of these to cover 8 players. They are pretty slender and work great. It helps keep the ash away from the table.

The price seems to jump all over the place and they sometimes have 1 of the 3 styles on sale. The Hartford is pretty cheap right now. I have the Lexington, which I got for $50 (on sale plus coupon and free shipping). I did not want to pay a lot for ashtrays.

I have a bunch of these and they work well and clean up nicely. But note they are fairly small, I would recommend putting them on side tables if possible to avoid getting little bits of ash on the table. Even a slight breeze can blow the ash out if you're outside.

True. They are pretty small but can always empty them into a larger ash tray throughout the night. We usually play in the garage so wind isn't an issue. Might need to get some of the other style @Hot Nuts posted during the summer months when we opt to play under the gazebo.

Yep if you can dump them every hour or so it helps. I wouldn't put them on a fancy custom table, but for a Barrington or roll out topper, they work great. Same concept as slide under cup holders, each player puts them where they're most comfortable and you don't need to worry about reaching over another player or chip stack to ash. And they're heavy enough to not easily get jostled. And they're inexpensive. We used them at the Philly meetup (covered deck) last year and they were fine.

Very nice. Playing with tiger chips and smoking Cubans! Life is good!

Yep gazebo is good. I prefer it actually.

 

[JonK]

Might need to get a rolling TV stand like yours. Currently debating how to mount an outdoor tv in the gazebo with my current seating layout.

 

[Hot Nuts]

I love the rolling TV stand. You can move it anywhere around the table from inside of the garage to the driveway. A fixed location would not work for me.

Very nice! Just need a TV to go with it haha!

Fuck me sideways these are good, it got creamier and sweeter as it smoked. I need to compare to the regular melanio, than buy a box for aging. You Oliva guys, any preference on size for these? I think this was either a #4 or robusto.

These are pretty damn good too but I think the darker maddies are my jam.

Got one of these resting, I’m looking forward to it.

Padron '64 is probably my favorite blend.

Super Bowl Treat

Valentine’s Day treat!

$16 USD from LCDH in Havana.

I remember when these and Hoyos were less than $6 and cohiba siglo 3s were 8. Has anyone had a cohiba lately? It's $21 for a siglo 2 and I couldn't do it...

 

[SteveEH]

I bought a cohiba from a guy that "worked at the factory.' It was rolled well, I could see an imperfection, I hoped it was a reject, so I gambled...

Bad gamble...tasted like crap so left it like that.

I use standing Stinky Cigar ashtrays and have a few around the players. Two can share like they would a drink cart.

It'd only be a nap at my house

I have a bunch in the Oliva sampler I picked up a few weeks, should be enough to hold me over for a while

After a slightly disappointing workout (cause I ran out of gas) this will be my comfort. Haven't tried it before. Hoping for good dark leather. Cheers

I haven't tried the Sumatra Hoya by AJ yet. How was it?

 

[Hot Nuts]

Trying to pull out a Carolina Hurricanes win playing in Vegas. Started at 10:30pm here. They are making me stay up late. Nah, I'd still be up.

Exactly what I expected. Lots of pepper of the jump. Strong leather and cedar. I really like it. I'll keep a few in the box.
