Cigar ashtrays: how to choose the ideal model?

An object too often neglected

When you think of the world of cigars, the first objects that come to mind are the humidor, the lighter, or the cigar cutter. However, one accessory plays a central role in the ritual: the cigar ashtray . Not only does it ensure cleanliness and comfort, but it also fully contributes to the aesthetics of your smoking area .

At Atelier Atypique , ashtrays are designed as design pieces in their own right. Here's how to choose the right one for you, based on your usage, your environment, and your attention to detail.

1. The essential criteria to take into account

● The number of locations

• 1 location : ideal for personal use.

• 2 to 4 locations : perfect for sharing moments between enthusiasts.

• Up to 6 spaces : for large parties or private lounges.

💡 The more the object is designed for sharing, the more it becomes a central piece of your cigar corner.

● Materials

At Atelier Atypique, each ashtray is designed with noble materials , chosen for their durability, their resistance to heat and their aesthetics:

2. Ashtrays designed for the experience

At Atelier Atypique, several models offer unique functional and aesthetic details :

• Integrated whisky glass holder : for a harmonious cigar + spirit tasting.

• Hidden ash drawer : to keep your space always clean.

• Personalized engraving : a message, a logo, or your initials.

🎁 Some models can also be offered in a box with matching lighter and cigar cutter.

3. Adapt the ashtray to its environment

In a living room or private library :

Opt for a dark wood or stone model with a sleek design. An object that blends into your existing decor and enhances the cozy atmosphere.

In a smoking room or a bachelor pad :

A glass or polished metal cigar ashtray with bold lines will add character to the room. Multiple seating options allow for entertaining.

On a terrace or outdoors :

Prefer sturdy materials (stone, heavy ceramic) and stable shapes, resistant to wind and hot ashes.

4. Cleaning and maintenance

A good ashtray should be easy to clean . Choose models that are:

• without too deep corners,

• with smooth or removable surface,

• or equipped with parts washable with clear water.

🚿 Tip: A soft cloth and white vinegar can make a glass or metal ashtray shine without leaving any marks.

5. A collector's item in its own right

Some collectors even go so far as to match each ashtray to their mood or the season . Why not?

• A dark, massive ashtray for winter.

• A clear glass model for summer evenings.

• An engraved model to offer for a unique occasion.

🧩 At Atelier Atypique, each model is unique, designed for enthusiasts , and the result of demanding design .
