Timeless engineering demands uncompromising design. So it should come as no surprise that Sikar’s original ashtray, the Citadel, was created with this exacting mindset. On each corner of the hewn walnut block are pillars of solid brass, towering perches upon which one can place even the most robust of cigars. And don’t worry, the Citadel is no delicate showpiece. Lift it up and feel its pleasing weight. Run your fingers along the sharp edges of the metal pillars. Glance on the underside and notice, even in a spot where no one would expect detail, the inlaid square of pure brass thus inscribed with the name that imbues quality.
