Black Crystal Square Cigar Ashtray - 4 Cigars

Crystal does one thing no metal or wood ashtray does: it catches light. On a lit bar or a table with a lamp over it, the polished edges pick up the room, which is why crystal has been the default in formal smoking rooms for a century.

It is also the heaviest option here, and weight is a functional advantage. A crystal ashtray does not skid when you tap a long ash against it and does not move in a breeze on a patio. Four rests are cut into the rim with a deep central bowl below, and the black finish keeps ash residue from showing between cleanings the way clear crystal does. This is the one to put out when the occasion is dressed up, or when the ashtray is going to sit in a room whether or not anyone is smoking.

• Four cigar rests, deep central bowl
• Heavy crystal construction that stays put
