Nub Ashtray: The Perfect Rest for Your Favorite Short Fat Cigars

If you love Nub cigars, you already know they hit different. Short, thick, packed with flavor, and ready to deliver that sweet spot right away. The Nub Ashtray was made for exactly those moments. No more balancing a wide ring-gauge cigar on a skinny rest that was never meant for it. This tray gives your Nubs (and any other cigars you enjoy) a solid, stylish home.

Crafted in clean white ceramic with a glossy finish and the Nub logo front and center, the Nub Ashtray looks sharp on any table, patio, or lounge. At eight inches square and just an inch and a half tall, it sits flat, feels substantial, and never slides around. Four deep rests keep your cigars secure while the deep center collects ash cleanly.

Whether you’re lighting up a Nub Habano 460, a Maduro, or sharing a few sticks with friends, this ashtray makes the experience smoother and more enjoyable.

Why the Nub Ashtray Belongs on Your Table

Most ashtrays were designed decades ago for long, skinny cigars. Nub cigars flipped that idea on its head. Sam Leccia and Oliva created the Nub line in 2008 around one simple truth: the best part of a cigar is often right in the middle. So they made short, wide cigars that get you there faster.

The Nub Ashtray follows the same thinking. It was drawn specifically around those thick 4×60 and similar formats. The rests are spaced and shaped so a fat Nub sits comfortably without tipping or rolling. The result is a tray that feels right the first time you use it.

Key Benefits of the Nub Ashtray

• Built for thick ring-gauge cigars (especially Nubs)
• Four dedicated rests so everyone has a spot
• Heavy ceramic that stays put

How to Get the Most Out of Your Nub Ashtray

Using the Nub Ashtray is simple, but a few small habits make a big difference:

1. Place each cigar in its own rest. Let it rest naturally instead of forcing it.
2. Allow the cigar to go out on its own when you’re finished. Stubbing creates a harsher smell and more mess.
3. Empty the ash once the tray has cooled. Hot ash can scratch or leave residue.
4. Wash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. The glossy ceramic cleans up easily and looks new every time.

This tray pairs especially well with the matching Nub table-top lighter. Together they create a clean, coordinated setup that looks intentional rather than thrown together.

Who Will Love the Nub Ashtray

• Nub fans who want gear that actually fits their cigars
• Anyone tired of skinny rests that don’t hold thick ring gauges
• People who prefer a modern look over heavy crystal or dark wood
• Hosts who want a clean, shared ashtray for group smokes
• Collectors building a matching Nub set (cigars, lighter, and ashtray)

Why Ceramic Beats Traditional Options for Everyday Use

Crystal can look elegant, but it chips, shows every fingerprint, and feels formal. Wood can stain and absorb odors. The Nub Ashtray’s ceramic construction strikes the right balance: it feels solid in the hand, cleans in seconds, and keeps a bright, modern appearance that works indoors or outdoors.

The high-gloss white finish stays vibrant and makes ash easy to see so you know when it’s time to empty. The Nub logo adds a touch of brand pride without looking overdone.

Real-World Ways People Use the Nub Ashtray

• Morning coffee and a Nub on the patio
• Evening group smoke around the fire pit
• Desk setup for focused solo sessions
• Matching display next to Nub and Oliva boxes on a side table
• Travel-friendly size for weekend getaways or cabin trips

Because it’s only eight inches across, it fits almost anywhere without dominating the space.

Complete Your Nub Experience

The Nub Ashtray is more than an accessory — it’s the missing piece for people who already enjoy the cigars. Pair it with:

• Nub Habano 460 or Maduro 460
• The Nub Table Top Lighter (three jet flames)
• Other Oliva and Nub releases from the same family

When everything matches, the whole ritual feels more intentional and enjoyable.

Care and Longevity Tips for Your Nub Ashtray

Ceramic is tough, but a little care keeps it looking sharp for years:

• Always let the tray cool before emptying or washing
• Avoid extreme temperature swings (don’t put a hot tray under cold water)
• Hand wash only — no dishwasher needed
• Dry completely before storing

Follow these simple steps and your Nub Ashtray will stay as clean and bright as the day it arrived.
