Abstract: An ashtray is formed of at least two concentric surfaces where the inner surface is higher than the outer surface to direct the cigar or cigarette upwardly towards the center of the ashtray. The inner concentric surface is thin to minimize contact with the cigar or cigarette. Depressions having an upward slope towards the center of the ashtray are formed on the outer concentric surface to also direct the lit end of the cigar or cigarette upward towards the center of the astray. Protrusions are formed on the inner concentric surface to keep the cigar or cigarette from rolling on the support. Ash receiving chambers are formed interiorly of the inner surface and between the inner and outer surfaces.
