  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Does anyone know where to score vintage floor ashtrays? You know, the kind that sit on the floor but come up to somewhere around armchair height? I've seen the Stinky's on line, but I was looking for something that wasn't so much of a bucket w/stirrups...

I saw one in an antique store last weekend with two stirrups and a switch that threw open a trapdoor so the ash was stored inside. It was great design, but kinda knocked around and I wasn't ready to pay the asking price of $100. Any help would be appreciated.

Just looked on eBay ... searched "floor ashtray" and plenty came up. Some nice older antique style ones too. Take a gander...

Don't know if this suggestion is "kosher" with this site but there's a guy over at Cigar Weekly who refinshes them for a hobby. I've bought two from him and use one every night. Go over there and check out the "trade" section.
