Why Have More Than One Ashtray?

  • Hygiene: limit odours and the spread of ash.

  • Practicality: always have a container suited to wherever you smoke.

  • Looks: turn a utilitarian object into a decorative piece that reflects your lifestyle.


1. The Indoor Ashtray: The Centrepiece of Your Living Room

Where? Which model? Why?
Living room Designer ashtray in glass, crystal or glazed ceramic Welcomes your guests without clashing with the decor
Kitchen / dining room Stainless steel or ceramic ashtray that rinses easily Resists grease and cleans in a flash
Office / workspace Compact ashtray, anti-odour lid Keeps the environment professional and discreet

2. The Outdoor Ashtray: Balcony, Terrace & Garden

  • Recommended materials: galvanised steel, cast iron, heavy ceramic or concrete.

  • Useful features: weighted base, windproof lid, removable tray for express emptying.

  • Decor tip: choose a shade that matches your outdoor furniture for visual harmony.


3. The Car Ashtray: The Anti-Odour Ally

  • Cup format to place in the cup holder.

  • Airtight lid to contain smoke and ash.

  • Built-in LED for smoking at night without soiling the interior.

  • Brushed stainless steel or flame-retardant ABS plastic: robustness and style.


4. The Pocket Ashtray: Responsible and Nomadic

  • Ultra-light (< 50 g) and 100% airtight so as to leave no trace.

  • "Clip" or carabiner system to attach it to a bag.

  • Perfect for the city, festivals, the beach: protect the planet and your image.


5. The Cigar or Large-Format Ashtray

Profile Ideal model Benefit
Cigar lover Wide ashtray with deep grooves (cedar, marble, crystal) Holds a cigar up to 60 ring gauge and concentrates the smoke
Heavy smoker / evenings with friends XXL or 4-slot ashtray Less emptying, more conviviality

6. Always Keep a Spare Ashtray

  • Vintage found at a flea market or an iconic design: it can double as a decorative object when not in use.

  • Ideal in case of breakage or a rush of smoking guests.
