Is anyone else OCD with their ashtrays?

[Darrell]

I am borderline OCD with cleaning my ashtrays. At the end of each week I wash my ashtray out with dish soap and water or if it's dirty after I dump it I will wipe it down with a paper towel and water. As far as my big stinky goes, after a herf I will hand wash the entire ashtray and each stirrup individually.

I don't know why I do, but I like a clean ashtray.

Anyone else like this?

[hotreds]

Not me

[Skywalker]

Darrell has been known to yell at a few us that through anything but ash or butts in the Big Stinky at his Herfs!!!:c

[gnukfu]

Umm I wash mine after each smoking session so I guess that is max OCD...now I don't use soap....just use water...and wipe it dry.

One time at the shop some of the regulars threw CHICKEN BONES in the stinky. I was :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:.

I'm OCD at work, but not with my ashtray! Interesting thoughts!:) I clean mine out with a wet rag and then store it underneath the couch on my patio.:)

[Cigarcop]

You know you'll be needing therapy when you start waxing them too!!

After working in a cigar store you see crazy ****. Twice now cleaning up I've found the remains of those red/white swirl mints left in an ashtray. Of course by this time they are stuck to the damn thing.:mad:

Whats wrong with that?????? ;)

[chippewastud79]

I also like keeping my ashtrays clean, don't like having all those spent ashes in there. In fact, when I go to an establishment and use their ashtrays, I ask the server/bartender to wash the ashtray for me before I use it. I guess I am just a little OCD about it. :rolleyes:

[duckmanco]

My stinky is such a nice piece, I even get a little miffed when the extended family puts cigarette butts in it. I know it shouldn't matter, but still, its for CIGARS. With that said, I don't clean nearly as I often as I want to in the summer because I am just going to dirty it the next night.

My Mom is a cigarette smoker and I won't let her put butts in my cigar ashtrays when she is over.

[groogs]

I don't even use an ashtray. I always smoke in the back yard and ash on the ground. When I am done I stomp the but into the groud and leave it to compost, so I would have to say I am not OCD about the ashtray.

[bobarian]

I dump mine daily or every other day, mainly because I smoke inside and dont like the smell of the stale butts. I wash them or use a wet wipe weekly. Not really OCD, but I keep my ashtrays cleaner than my stove!:r

Remind me to never come over for dinner :r

[Pat1075]

I usually dump out my ashtrays daily, I clean the porcelain ones with water and the crystal one with diluted windex.

[ucla695]

No. I have a Stinky and I used to clean it all the time, but now it just stays out back and I dump out the ashes and nubs when it starts to get full. It hasn't seen soap and water in years. I clean the stirrups though. However, I'm starting to look around for a nice ashtray and I will definitely clean it after every use.

[MikeyC]

I don't use an ashtray too much because most of my smoking is outdoors in places where I can ash on the ground. When I do use an ashtray it's usually in a cigar bar. So, it's not my ashtray. On the extremely rare occassion where I actually use my own ashtray I do bring it in the kitchen when I'm done and clean it thoroughly with dish soap.

[BigFrank]

I just wait till mine gets real nasty, then hope it will clean up.

[shilala]

I like mine to be clean.
All the cigarette smokers that roll through here hog them up big time and it grosses me out. When it gets completely out of hand I make them clean them.

[mrreindeer]

You know, Darrell, I am a bit OCD with 'em. I have two, one for upstairs, one for downstairs (outside on the deck). After using them, I dump the ash & gars into my sandpails (again, one up, one down), blow off whatever extra ash is left and wipe them down with a paper towel. Both of my ashtrays have the felt bottom (my CAO Cubist & the H. Upmann and I keep the CAO in the felt bag it came in when not in use) so I just haven't thought about washing them until now but chippewa has me thinkin'.

In fact, when I go to an establishment and use their ashtrays, I ask the server/bartender to wash the ashtray for me before I use it. I guess I am just a little OCD about it. :rolleyes:

Makes total sense though. Usually, I'm only smoking at home with mrsreindeer or one buddy in particular so I haven't been terribly concerned about germs but it makes ya think!

Thanks!

[Mr Edmundo]

That's what I have a wife for.:r


























Just kidding.

[Clampdown]

Clean and recently hate seeing someone ash their cigarette in an ashtray i am using.

[elderboy02]

Nope. I haven't ever cleaned mine. I just dump the ashes out. I should clean it though b/c when it rains, the water collects in it and some ashes stick to it.

Here is a pic of my dirty Oliva ashtray while smoking an Oliva V Maduro:

:D

[Jay Hemingway]

i am. i smoke cigarettes and garz. i will NOT use an ashtray while smoking a gar that has cig butts in it. when i go to fire up a gar, my ashtray(s) must be flawlessly clean! i will clean them with soap and water and dry them off, making sure there is not one speck of water anywhere on it, including the bottom.

[jjirons69]

Never clean. I have a big coffee can in the garage where all the ash tray contents are dumped after a smoking session. Ash trays are meant to look and smell like ashes, thus the name.

[nozero]

I've never "washed" the well of my Cubist ashtray. I've have wiped off the outside and top with a damp cloth at most. So I guess I'm at the other end of the spectrum.

[Footbag]

I clean mine after every cigar. I hate the smell of stale cigars sitting in an ashtray. It also seems like the smell doesn't dissipate until the ashtray is empty.

[Skywalker]

As the Sgt. says, "Keep your ammo dry and your Stinky clean!!!:r

[Smokin Gator]

I am not OCD about it... I merely dump my ashtray after ever gar and clean them with soap and water every couple of days!!

[jaycarla]

Will dump my Stinky when it is about half full. It has been wiped down with a wet towel twice in a year.

It does look very shinny when it is clean, but with it out in the Man Shed, I don't usually care. The Wifey is banned with her cigs in my ashtrays also.

[webjunkie]

My ashtray has to be clean. Normally just soap and water, but I have been known to put it in the dishwasher.

Maybe because my friends in NC only empty their ashtray after ash starts to fall onto the floor.

[Ashcan Bill]

I actually just MT'd the courtyard Stinky this afternoon. The ashes were kinda starting to spill over the sides. :D

However, after dumping the corpses, I did wipe it down with windex and paper towels and it's spotless again (except for that one new corpse).

So I guess I must be more borderline OCD, right?

[Waynegro1]

I'm with you Darrell.
I wash (with soap), wipe and dry my ashtray's after each and every smoke session(then they get placed in their designated area). My wife just stares at me while I'm at the sink and shakes her head. I wipe the blades of my Palio and Xikar cutters with alcohol pads each week. I rotate my lighters after one is used (that way they all get a chance to play). I dust my cabinet humi and desk tops every other day. I've got it bad my friend.
It's my ritual and I like it!!!

[doctorcue]

I'll wash out the stinky every now & then (HEY-O!!!!!); but I'm not OCD like MD. :)

The stinky usually has: ashes, butts, napkins, empty beer cans, & beer caps.

Yet, I know to be on good behaviour at MD's herfs. Only ashes in the Stinky. Totally gonna throw some hot wings in there though. :D

[Lucky_Hippo]

I use a single cigar ashtray most of the time. Each time I light up I dump the old butt and ashes into my big big stinky and wipe out the single ashtray to use currently. Once the stinky is full, it gets dumped and they both get a bath.

When I was a ciggarette smoker I'd dump and wipe the ashtray out after every other cig or so. My buddies were all bartenders and it just became habit.

[Darrell]

Try it you sum'*****. :r

[Scottw]

I try to keep it neat and orderly.

[Cigary]

If I went into detail about what things I am OCD about we'd have to have an intervention and I just don't know what wines or spirits to serve?

My back porch is my ashtray!

The butts, however, go in the compost pile.

:bx:r it made me laugh, this whole thread is funny

[Parrotheadduff]

Mine only gets washed if it rains unexpectedly.:r

[robofan]

Inside smoking which for me is a rare event butts get bagged and tossed ashtrays cleaned immediately after use.

Outdoor smoking ashtrays get dumped when full and cleaned when it rains hard or the hose is handy.

My favorite is smoking somewhere where I don't have to worry about clean up such as a cigar friendly bar or casino.

[Ace$nyper]

I am very much, I like my stinky shiny. :)

[weak_link]

This is clean for mine. :p

while I like a clean ashtray. I cannot stand anyone using it for cigarettes...I know its an ashtray, but its for cigars............

[N2Advnture]

I am borderline OCD with cleaning my ashtrays. At the end of each week I wash my ashtray out with dish soap and water or if it's dirty after I dump it I will wipe it down with a paper towel and water. As far as my big stinky goes, after a herf I will hand wash the entire ashtray and each stirrup individually.

I don't know why I do, but I like a clean ashtray.

Anyone else like this?

LOL! I'm the same way bro :tu

[dunng]

I dump my shed stinky after each smoking session but have not really taken the next step in cleaning it... :ss

Clean up that Mess!:D

[rizzle]

I looked at mine this morning for the benefit of this thread. It has 6 butts laying in it now and room for a few more before it gets dumped. I take care of a lot of stuff but my ashtray ain't at the top of that list.

Thanks a lot, Darrell! After looking at my Ashton Ashtray yesterday, I cleaned and waxed it, thanks to you! I was OK before you started this thread!:fl:D

[RottenZombie]

I mostly use my stinky for hot wing bones..:dance::cool2::r:r:r:r

[Tristan]

I'm with you Darrell! The only reason I don't dump out my ashtrays immediately after smoking is because I'm paranoid a fire will start in the trash can!

Plus, I wouldn't want to wear a dirty ashtray on my head.

[Rabidsquirrel]

I once emptied the ashes from a several days dead fire into a plastic 5 gallon bucket. I spent hours looking for the source of the smell before I found the melted bucket.

Help you choose your husband a gift. He 's a unfortunately avid smoker. I want to update his gauge. As an example give up found options, if there is anything else interesting, send out.https://smokeprofy.com/reviews/best-cigar-ashtrays/

So close to intelligible Engrish, but still a garbled mess.

Arrghh! Spam.

Having said that use vinegar to clean your Stinky. Works like a charm. If it works in douche you gotta know it's good.:hy

[stearns]

Those damn unfortunately avid smoker. Glad we don't have any of them around there

[bonjing]

I’d like to upgrade my gauge too. Being a lancero totally blows or not. Maybe a robusto or double robusto would be nice.
