Why is it so hard to find a small ashtray/organizer to put on the side table next to my chair? I don't necessarily want a pipe rest as I have a rack elsewhere, and I don't' want a humidor as I smoke various blends. I don't need or want 12 pipes sitting next to me. What I do want is a one piece accessory that contains a modest sized ashtray, an upright "tube" for pipe cleaners and an area for tamper, matches and/or lighter. It would seem to me that most pipe smokers would like something like this. Most of the stuff online looks like it was designed by someone who knows nothing about pipe smoking.
I don't want the thing to take up too much space. Need room for a book and a drink. It should be easy to move for dusting and unobtrusive, and not look like a make-shift homemade piece of crap. I think there is a reason you see so many lousy ones at Goodwill( other than from dead pipe smokers) because they are useless. Curmudgeon rant over.
Any suggestions or observations?
