El Septimo Cigars has released the first two of 12 ashtrays that will make up the company’s new Safari Collection.

Those first two designs are known as Tiger and Stallion, and as expected feature images of the respective animals. Each design has been manually outlined in gold, while each ashtray offers two slots, is corrosion- and water-resistant, and features a base that won’t damage desktops.

The next two designs, Peacock and Elephant, will be released in February. After that, another animal will be added to the collection on a quarterly basis.

Each ashtray measures just over 8 inches long and just under 6 3/4 wide.

Each design is limited to 500 pieces and priced at $120.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
