Let's See Your Ashtrays - Fancy or Plain

[mikethompson]

Very interesting stuff guys.
I am still kicking myself for not grabbing my grandfathers old tobacco jar when we were clearing out the house. It hadn't been used for years and was full of elastic bands.

A gift from my lovely wife:

I've had this H. Simmons ashtray for about 30 years, and found the matching bowl (for a kitty cat?) :mrgreen: about ten years later. Both are made by Pearson's of Chesterfield. I think that H. Simmons was a tobacco shop in London. Mostly use this ashtray inside.

Mines an old candy dish I found at the flee market, I glued a cork in the center.
I don't have a picture, I would have to clean it up first! Also photo bucket is dead to me and I have yet to find a replacement service...

How interesting. I don't have an ash tray, I usually just dump on the ground. Heathen. As a Northerner (upstate NY) all of the wasp, and now spider, spray as pipe accessories made me laugh as well. Thanks for the interesting pictures.

I have a little set up now, with a little backstory as well. I'll try to post up tomorrow.
Crash I also take note of all the bug spray, but more importantly, how does it effect the room note?

Only the very finest ashtray for this kid... :lol:

Incidentally, that Dunhill is delightful to my eyes! Is that factory production, or your own craftsmanship?

Thank-you for the link, as I missed the original thread. What an exquisite pipe! How does it smoke?

What an exquisite pipe!

Indeed. Alfred dun good.

How does it smoke?

Funny you ask. It's one of the few pipes I've ever owned that had to have its airway enlarged. Tasted fine but kept going out every time it was set down for even 5-10 seconds.
Went up in size from 3mm / .118" to .1285" (a #30 machinist's drill). Not much, but it did the trick. The wee pipe is now an excellent smoker. It gets fed a regular diet of GH&Co's Kendal Dark shag cut, and purrs like a kitten. ::

The PM response was tremendous, and a substantial amount has been raised. With it Simone has been hired and dispatched to you:

She, and her duster, should arrive shortly.

I'm pretty sure that's what shrinks call "reinforcing bad behavior". :lol:
Not that I'm complaining, understand. 8)
Simone looks to be very... efficient. :D
Excuse me while I go accidentally spill all my ashtrays on the floor. :twisted:

Not at all. Given that all your time is consumed working your magic ministrations on broken briars, we understand that housekeeping must necessarily take a back seat. Hence our little gift to you.

Apparently we offended the sensibilities of one of our esteemed Moderators. To make amends, here is an image of Simone's mother:

Somehow it's just not the same, is it?

 

[georged]

Damn. It wasn't even a picture, just a silhouette of a cartoon woman. A fully dressed one at that.
Sometimes this place confuses me.

 

[mikethompson]

It wasn't a silhouette picture, but rules are rules. Don't you guys get my thread locked!

 

[sakoguy]

In my garage I use a Rattrays tin on the deck the wind takes it away.

It is not about my sensibilities or personal opinions, but the rules, Tim. Sorry for that.

Nah, she is not wearing an underwear.

Damn. It wasn't even a picture, just a silhouette of a cartoon woman. A fully dressed one at that.

George, I wouldn't have deleted that silhouette of a cartoon woman if there hadn't been that comment of yours:
