Contact Stinky, he's a member here, and he'll send you a new one, no cost.
From Stinky:
When I first started producing the Stinky Cigar Ashtray, I didn't realize the manufacture would change the specifications and "cheapen" the solder joint on the stirrups. . . long story.
My opinion: They should not break off! . . . even if you drop it! So, I decided to offer an extended warranty. (I need to get that posted on my web site!) The extended warranty will require a $10.50 fee to cover shipping & handling. . . but, I wave that fee for nice guys . . . like the inmates here!

We all have pet peeves. . . although I have quite a few, one of mine is when people go to public forums with their problems without ever contacting the company they bought from (or the manufacture, distributor, etc.) So, I gotta ask: Why didn't you (at the least) call or send me an e-mail?

Oh well. . . water under the bridge now. Unfortunately you got one of the defective units in that first container load. Sorry! This is why we implemented the extended warranty. Send it back and include the stirrups (cigar holders) and I will repair it and add an extra stirrup to complet the job.

I like glass ashtrays for some reason, bUT The stinky would be the only non glass I would buy.

Here is one of my ashtrays thats been in the family for years, I remember seeing it when I was just a little bastard running around grandmas, and I been using it since I started smoking cigs as a young teen and now I use it for my cigars.

From my phone cam...



Looks way more beautiful clean and in person.

Wow. . . I have that same ashtray in my office! . . . and, I use it as a candy dish! There was a time when it was used for cigars on my patio (before the . . . you know, this new thing). Brings back memories.

first of all, it is a pic of my friggin ashtray. was not meant to "go public with my problem", so no need for the attitude it seems i have invoked. hope i am wrong.

second of all, i bought it from cigarbid. i dont know you, or your company, or that you had an email or a phone number to call. it was never a big deal, so i never researched your company.

third, i have had it for quite some time. i wouldnt expect a company to repair something with this much age, but thanks for the offer.

my apologies for posting a pic of my "stinky". was not meant to set off anyones pet peeves. feel free to delete the pic mods.

Very cool! Now you need to put it to use

[maninblack]

That looks freaking sweet!! Nice tray!

[SouthernSmoke]

I've gotta agree! It looks awesome!

[Stinky]

Nice job, Mario! It's a beauty!

Looks like a custom hand-made Herf Edition! (I see you have a "stinky" too.)

Can you share some specs for us?

How big is it?
Diameter:
Height:
Adhesive:
Finish Material:
(and number of coats. . . looks like a deep finish)
And. . . the optional Pedestal/Stand:

Thank you to everybody for your great comments.
It's about a 10" diameter
I used 2 x1/4" oak strips glued together and then cut on a 5 degree cut and then glued into a circle. I used tilebond glue and a strap clamp. After sanding it down I rub a little red stain into it and then wiped almost all of it off, just to give it some character. I then applied about 15 coats of spray lacquer to it.
The bottom was just a piece of 1/4 inch wood cut into a circle and then I glued all the bands on. After letting it dry completely I applied about 15-20 coats of lacquer, with a light sanding in between. The bottom is nailed onto the body and then I applied a few more coats of lacquer to try to seal up the seem.

It was a fun project, I think I would do some thing things differently next time.

It's funny I was involved in the iron works industry for many years and it is very different from woodworking. A little welding, banging with a hammer and grinding can make everything look good. In woodworking everything needs to be a lot more exact and you need a lot more patience. Which I have a very limited amount of.

Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

I like the design and layout of that... wide/long slot to give enough area for the cigar to rest, decreasing risk of dropping... and a large capacity bowl for an ashtray that size.

[wolfandwhisky]

that thing is really really nice. well done!

[TripleF]

That's awesome Mario!!! Great job bro!!

[CigarNut]

Very cool Mario -- looks like someone put a lot of effort into that!
