I still have mine and love it. I was wondering who made them and if there were anymore available?

Very nice SS with ash catch and cigar holder.

edit: here they are : http://www.ultimatecigarashtray.com/

Is this the same guy, or did someone jack his idea?

I might be mistaken, but I think he sold the idea to whomever is manufacturing them now.

Just dug up some old posts here and elsewhere:

-The site you linked to, that is the inventor's site.
-Hendy was the member here (and elsewhere) that did the CAD design and helped prototype it.
-According to a post from someone, the inventor did sell the patent to Xikar. Both Hendy and the inventor later posted in that same thread and no correction or refuting of that information was made.

I've got one that I never use. Could do a trade for something if you are interested.

I"ll keep that on the back burner for now. Pm me and we can talk something over.

I thought about picking one of these up.

Seemed like a good design.

I have the one listed in the first link, but if you look up xikar's you'll see a change or two in the design.
