Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Poker Chips...
 

nice!

Re: Poker Chips...
 

Nice job, Mike! I liked the url around the edge last time as well :tu

Re: Poker Chips...
 

Ya, planned on that :tu

Re: Poker Chips...
 

OK, as nobody else is taking a swing at this hanging curveball, I guess I must.

I think it's stinky. :D

Re: Poker Chips...
 

Like!!!

Re: Poker Chips...
 

I don't feel we should be advertising, nor catering to, a particular brand of accessories, in this case the Stinky brand ashtray. I feel it might be misinterpreted as setting a tone of what we might expect or favor that people should use for accessories, much like featuring cigar bands would set a tone of CC or NC and a even a particular brand. I would much rather see a simple generic ashtray of some sort.

Re: Poker Chips...
 

Above my pay grade, I'll let you folks decide, wasn't trying to rep a brand just needed a 4 cigar holder ashtray :tu

Re: Poker Chips...
 

As I sip on my Coke Zero, I ponder what you're saying. You make a good point, just like this refreshing Coke Zero makes my thirst go away. It's the TOE's call, but IMO just using a generic ashtray could be just as good. Not as good as drinking a Coke Zero, but still good.

;)

Re: Poker Chips...
 

Personally I like peaty Laphroiag 18 year old, but refreshing Coke Zero is OK if you're very thirsty and out of Tropicana Orange.

Sorry Remo - off on a tangent.

Love the chip - I'm in for a handful.

Re: Poker Chips...
 

If it was a "Stinky" brand ashtray 2 of the 4 leaves would be broken off. :2

That being said I tend to agree that just a regular ashtray would work just as well in the design.

Re: Poker Chips...
 

:tpd:

Re: Poker Chips...
 

"We" was meant as CA, not you specifically. Stinky brand ashtrays are rather unmistakable in their profile / image. I think the image can still remain true to your idea with a change to a generic 4-finger ashtray.

Re: Poker Chips...
 

I prefer a nice bit of Lagavulin 16 myself. Caol Isla and Ardbeg are great as well. I haven't had 18 year Laphroig only the 10 but I sure would drink it if it was offered!!!!!!

As for the poker chip, I would buy 10 even if it is stinky. My ash tray is the old CAO cubist ashtray and I love that piece of junk hah.

Re: Poker Chips...
 

We will have to let the ToE decide.

Re: Poker Chips...
 

There are such a limited number of us who will get these chips, all inmates here at CA...I don't think the "advertising" for Stinky is really a factor as we all know what they are and already have made the choice to own or not own one or more. Personally, I am fine with the design as is, Mike.

Re: Poker Chips...
 

:tu

Re: Poker Chips...
 

I like the design as well.

However, and I am playing devil's advocate here, what if Stinky himself objects to us using his product on our chip?

Re: Poker Chips...
 

Ahhh...good insight Peter. Maybe a non descript ashtray is in order:tu

Re: Poker Chips...
 

:tu

Re: Poker Chips...
 

I like it and I'm glad I'm around this time for these. Have to get a few.

Re: Poker Chips...
 

Should We Ask Stinky?????:confused:

Re: Poker Chips...
 

I think Stinky sold his business to Quality Importers, but it probably would be a good idea to contact him. :2

Re: Poker Chips...
 

Not a conversation I'm looking to have.
:2

Re: Poker Chips...
 

Nah, we'll just change the ashtray

Re: Poker Chips...
 

hmm. Just a thought, but for the side with the ashtray, why not something like this...

A perspective drawing that makes that side of the chip look like it is a round ashtray with CA info between the rests. Maybe some ash and a few bands in the bottom.

No indication of tray brand, etc. just a perspective drawing. Probably from above and a but to the side, like the one pictured here: http://img.cigarsinternational.com/l...m-soaash01.jpg. Of course you could not have a cigar resting since it would be clipped at the edge of the chip.

Re: Poker Chips...
 

You could move the cigar in and just have a bit over the edge of the "tray" that would give you a few mm around the edge that wasn't ashtray, or you could just have a couple butts in the ashtray that have already been smoked, the herf is over and it's time for you to leave message.. inside S.H.I.T. herf joke as Goatlocker and I can have the habit of being the last ones to leave :lr

Re: Poker Chips...
 

How bout Bluto sitting in an ashtray smoking a cigar?

Re: Poker Chips...
 

Good point. :tu

Ditto. ;)

Probably the safe route, Mike. Though Bluto is attractive. :dr

Re: Poker Chips...
 

You can use my ashtray as it's had all identifying marks fall off.

Re: Poker Chips...
 

I like it

Re: Poker Chips...
 

No tray brand, but isn't that a trademark brand that is showing inside the ashtray? Another can of worms?

Re: Poker Chips...
 

...like the one pictured here...

"like" as in similar too. Similar as in "not the same". Not the same as "use it as a possible model". Model as in "not exactly the same". Not exactly the same as in "like the one pictured".

Re: Poker Chips...
 

I like them

Re: Poker Chips...
 

So, what is going on with this? What is the news here?

Re: Poker Chips...
 

Need my BIL to redo the ashtray, he has been busy.

Re: Poker Chips...
 

Ahhh, gotcha. I figured I just missed something.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Poker Chips...
 

Ok, my BIL is getting the new ashtray done tomorrow, I'll post it up then I hope and we can move along :tu

Re: Poker Chips...
 

Coool!

Re: Poker Chips...
 

:tu Thanks, Mike!:D
