As the SouCal Tiki summer is heating up (as Marketplace and Tonga Hut happening on the same weekend demonstrate) I feel the need to get the word out about this so that the busy LA Tikiphile can pencil it into their calendar: SMOKING KILLS! ..the sticker says. ...So do a lot of other things, and I say: SMOKING IS FUN! ESPECIALLY with the new Tiki Ti ashtray, designed by yours truly :D Holds TWO cigars (ends) and FOUR cigarettes (sides). And if you are a fervent anti-smoke crusader, do not fret: ....on the wall like an object of primitive art. The piece is inspired by Papua New Guinea Gope boards... ...and Eharo masks: ...whose traditional use is described thus: "...masks called eharo, such as that seen here, were created primarily for amusement, described as maea morava eharu (things of gladness)...

Very cool! Makes me wish I smoked. OK, not really, but it makes me wish I had a use for it. :) |

This poker game could use a proper ash tray. Photo compliments of Slacks Ferret (until he takes me to court) |

If you've sparked new interest in my print (still available for sale!), then I won't take you to court Unga Bunga. But seriously, that's a damn cool ashtray! And it makes sense that it's from the Tiki Ti, since they still allow smoking there. I would love to hang one on my wall. |

Wow! Very Cool Sven! Two questions: How much does it cost & how much rum do you think it will hold? (I'm too busy being a rummy to have time for smoking!) |

Yaaah - SMOKIN' !!! I will be there from 4:00 o'clock on to sign them babies, at the table in the corner on the right when you come in. I just found out they can be had for a measly 25.00 bucks! It might get a little crowded... Here are some "display suggestions" for your artifact:
So, as everyone can see, one does not have to a smoker to appreciate this piece :D |

Will these be available online? I need one for the tropical patio. Much more attractive than the random Tommy Bahama ashtray we have now! I super love that it is designed for cigars. My hubby loves to relax on the weekends with a tropical beverage and a cigar. |

Hit me up, Pomaika. I don't mind picking up an extra, as I was planning on hitting up Tiki Ti fairly soon after opening. Besides, having a Floridan to help out with my own tiki searches would be nice down the line. :) |

We were just in LA last Sunday, but this might be worth a trip back up there to pick up. Hummm... |

I'm already in line! :lol: Here's a reminder Tiki-Ti is cash only! They do have an ATM with a service charge and there are some banks (Chase, Wells Fargo and BofA) kinda near by. Trying to be a nice guy. |

It was a nice afternoon, just busy enough but not crowded to a squeeze. A nice steady trickle throughout the day, no long lines. It was great to see old friends and hardcore Tikiphiles, and hear their kudos about the ashtray. Some bought two or three, for others, but there are enough left, they are 25.00 Dollars a piece. I wore an appropriate shirt, and had me some fine libations. Thank the Tiki gods for the Tiki Ti !!! [ Edited by: bigbrotiki 2013-07-29 20:16 ] |

I just picked one of these up on eBay, I do smoke fine cigars and I've been looking for something like this. I'm going to enjoy pulling this off the wall occasionally and using it with friends. Photos are from the seller's ad. ["thetikitrader"] |
