CAO Cubist is pretty popular, I have one works good also not too expensive. 55 gallon drum works better though and is sturdy and ;s

From hearing about many of the Stinkys stirrups falling off after being knocked around, I don't know that your statement would be entirely correct. I imagine some of the guys who have had to weld/epoxy/solder theirs together might chime in here.

Love mine! Some people have a little trouble with the stirrups popping off... but mine is just fine after 18 months or so on the back porch. :tu

I was looking at a Stinky in the local B&M and really liked it. Perhaps this is a sign.

Where can you get one that is under $100.00???? I wish I could find it somewhere...

The stinky is a great ashtray and I totally see where Pete is coming from about the stirrups. In Stinky's defense though, 9/10 people seem to store their ashtray on a table and the stirrup is just a small piece of metal. Any significant fall will cause one to bust off. It's a pain in the ass, but it's not such a pain that I would say it's not a good choice. It's good sized, well made, cleans easy. I love my stinkies (herf and personal).

I have a Stinky and one of my stirrups have fallen off. It didn't drop or anything drastic. I picked it up gripping it between my thumb and forefinger and "pop". With that being said, I do still like the ashtray. Just need to get around to making the repair.

I got my cubist for around $50 I do believe. I didn't find that to fit the "sturdy" category. All the letters popped off. Very annoying.

I bought mine a a local B&M a couple of years ago for $45 on sale but here is one for $49.95, never bought from this supplier so might want to check out first.

Here it is even cheaper, again I have no experience with this dealer either:

Another vote for the Stinky. Indeed, it may not be as sturdy as the 55 gallon drum, but it looks a lot better! If you want tank-like, use the drum, otherwise Stinky is way to go!

Im all about the stinky ashtray. I have had mine for at least 3 years I think... maybe 2.5.. Works flawlessly.

I use a coffee can. I've dented the rim so my sticks sit perfectly.

Another vote for Stinky!! As far as the stirrups falling off, I've never had a problem and I've had mine for almost two years. I also read, Stinky addressed the stirrup problem. So, should be a safe bet. :tu

Casa Fuente has some beautiful and reasonably priced ash trays usually around 50 bucks for their large one

This is the first time I've heard of problems with the Stinky. I can see where if it takes some hard knocks then a stirrup might get bent or broken, but mine is OK after 18 months. But, I can't say it has been subjected to hard use.

I've had my Stinky for over two years now with no problems and it's been dropped several times.

CAO Cubist is a pain to clean and the letters do pop off.

Didn't even think to mention the pain about cleaning. Very much agree though.

OK, as an Officer and a Gentleman - you require both sturdy and something the is fitting to your status. I love my black ashtray:

First time for me too hearing about issues with stirrups falling off. I've had my stinky with the stand for 3+ years and it's been bounced around with no problems. I Love it and will use nothing other than a stinky.

Vote for stinky. I have have had 2 now for quite a while. Nothing wrong with either. I even pick it up by the stirrup and take it to the weekly herf at a local bar. I think the GB is still going on. Just click the link and get one for relatively cheap.

That's the game plan. Gonna pull the trigger on that one I do believe.

I had the same concerns with the Stinky . I bought one and now recommend it . However , they are not near as heavy as they appear .
