holidaynation Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 If you smoke in your vehicle or perhaps a lounge chair with a cup holder, this may be of interest. Then again if ya do, ya probably already figured it out. In my van it wasn't a concern as my large glass ashtray fit in the centre console, and with the exception of extreme cornering or Ottawa style potholes, never lost a dart. When I decided to blaze in my car however, it was more problematic. I had spied these on Amazon but thought they were over priced and that I would find something cheaper; the search included other similar type butt trays, clamps and holders etc.etc. . In the end I conceded and was fortunate to catch one on sale on amazon. Here's what I think. My options limited by vehicle layout certainly helped me to decide, and at original price I figure I would still be happy with my purchase, and on sale, consider it a great deal. It seems solid and well made, it is slimmer than my cup holder, but doesn't bobble around, and a cardboard coffee sleeve shims it up perfect. When the lid is open, it doesn't balance on its own, so not table top friendly, but when in a cup holder is a firm support. The spring clamps on the side of the rest are light and hold a dart in place without squishing it (I've only gone up to a 54), but the edges are sharp so I have been cautious placing and removing my dart. I have used it with as small as a 40 ring gauge with little concern, but have been careful as the smoke can get caught under the springs. As the rest/lid opens up to the side it supports a toro without issues, but does take up space. Therefore I am not able to use it on the drivers side as it sits (slightly) awkwardly under my leg. It does however work good on the passenger side holder and still leaves me a spot for my coffee. Haven't had occasion to worry about a passenger's thought on this yet 😉 When nubbed, in she goes, close the lid and done. There are probably other options somewhere but I haven't found it yet. I think I will probably find a bean bag weighted cup holder for the BBQ, and perhaps a floaty toy for lounging on the water. bikermarc, Alki, quickme and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickme Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I love mine. I usually have some dried coffee grounds in mine so it eats some of the odour from the cigar.

ToothlessCog Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 With the summer bike season coming and a 45 min drive to the trail I may need one of these. Thanks for the review. holidaynation and MylesK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rone Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Love both of mine. I keep one in my work truck (shhhh) and one in my golf bag. They are an absolute must for golf carts. Dont loose any more cigars. Sanchez and holidaynation 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French1 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I've had one in my truck for a few years now and I like it alot. It fits nicely into the centre console cupholder and leaves me room for a coffee as well, then goes into the door pocket when I'm not using it. My only complaint is that, being left-handed (and unable to smoke properly with my right hand), I don't usually use it for ash while driving since my truck doesn't have a cupholder on the left. I hadn't thought of this before purchasing it, but it does make a great place to toss the nub of my cigar instead of it going out the window or into a coffee cup. holidaynation and jazie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowBurn Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I have one of these as well....works better after I added a few magnets to balance it off. Sits upright and is now magnetic holidaynation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siglo Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I love mine too, I put a few lead weights in the bottom then covered them with aluminum tape, balances nice now. jazie and holidaynation 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazie Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Diggin up an old thread but I agree there is nothing else like these. You may have to hand adjust the little steel leaf spring cigar holders according to your preferred smoke but the fact that you can adjust them is an attest to the quality of this piece of gear.
