I decided it was time for a proper ashtray. The old coffee can was no longer good enough. That's a robusto just for size comparison.

Not that new, but my wife round me this tiny antique smoking stand on craigslist a few months back. Perfect height for next to my chair in the garage.

That is pretty awesome! Haven't seen something like that before. I like the built in cigar rests. Looks like it was designed specifically for cigars. That drawer looks like a great place that could store accessories. Any idea how old it is?Quote:

The base is a little loose and it is missing two smaller ashtray stands that went with it.Quote:

A little Xmas gift to myself !
Bought a couple of Modus cigar tools. These were designed and are made by a BOTL on another forum and I've wanted something a little nicer than the crude tools I've been using.
The craftsmanship on these is top notch and they are more heavy duty than I thought, looking at the pictures.
Nubber on one end, draw tool on the other (i put both Modus in the picture to show both ends)
Merry Christmas to me !

Those look nice Tony. Does that single have a little grabber to remove a little Baccy?Quote:

It's nice to know one has, in some way, influenced posterity. ;)
@WNYTONY those look awesome! I see its available on amazon. Is that the best way to purchase them?
Then I should say thank you because they work great !Quote:

I got the blue/black blade XO and the jet black Xidris for Christmas! Couldn't be happier. I love Xikar!
My nephew bought me the Alec Bradley Burner table lighter for Christmas. It looks good and works well also...

I've ordered several times from him and at this point he counts about as good as you do so there were some extras.....
Nice! I hope I never have 3 wineadors running lol. And for the record my math skills are right on par with the rest of the bums around hereQuote:

Send him another e-mail. I have ordered drawers from him before and just placed another order. He's not great about checking and responding to e-mails but he eventually does. 8-9 months sounds like an order was lost - shelves are pretty standard and shouldn't take that long.Quote:

Will do. Thanks, Tony!Quote:

I have dealt with him before and have nothing but good things to say. Mine took 6-8 weeks if I recall. But 9 months?? That is an unusually long time. I applaud your patience lol.Quote:

Good news! I contacted Forrest earlier in the week, and the shelves arrived yesterday. This calls for a cigar. :D
