For any civilized smoker, an ashtray is an essential piece of equipment. A place to dispose of ash, stems, roaches, and all of the other little nuisances that accompany smoking, the ashtray is vital for keeping your smoking area clean and tidy.

Features and Designs

Some ashtrays feature built-in options that make life a little easier and more convenient. Lighter holders and compartments can help reduce clutter and keep all the necessities for a good smoking session in one place (i.e. lighters, rolling paper, and more).

De-Bowler ashtrays provide convenience, featuring a built-in spike to poke your pipe's bowel prior to ashing it out. These ashtrays eliminate the need to find or carry a poker of some sort, ending up with ash on your car keys or a pen lid. These ashtrays come in plastic, glass, ceramic and even "unbreakable" rubber material.

Some ashtrays feature a lid and a pocket system to hold your joint. While others have nooks on the side for resting your pipe.

Another popular option is a multi-compartment or divided tray design, allowing you to keep ash, butts and other smoking elements separated.
