Great question. The short answer is that if you smoke a  glass tobacco pipe, Tap Dat Ash is the last ashtray you'll ever need. How many times have you finished smoking a bowl of tobacco with your favorite glass tobacco pipe, and then had to struggle to get the ash out of it?

Your hands get filthy, right? And there's always that stubborn little chunk of burnt tobacco or ash that just won't come loose, so you start tapping your pipe against an ashtray, or the side of your garbage can, or whatever else is handy . . . and then your bowl breaks. It's a bummer, especially if the broken pipe is one of your favorites!

And even if your glass tobacco pipe doesn't crack or chip, there's a better than decent chance that you're going to scatter ashes onto your table or counter top. At best, it makes a mess. At worst, you've got a fire hazard from the embers that are still smoldering in a freshly-smoked bowl of tobacco. By the time you've dealt with this stuff, you're no longer relaxed and happy. You're stressed out, and ready to smoke another bowl of tobacco to try to unwind from cleaning up after the last one!

Well, with Tap Dat Ash, you don't have to be afraid of cracking a beloved glass tobacco pipe. Its hefty silicone rubber construction resists temperatures up to 300° C (that's around 600° F). Unlike a traditional glass or ceramic ashtray, Tap Dat Ash is unbreakable. And cleanup is a snap because you can put it in your dishwasher and have it come out like new.

Smoking is a leisure activity, and the makers of Tap Dat Ash put some serious thought into the development of this ashtray. Besides the benefits you've just read about, there are some built-in convenience features as well.........

• 2 holders sized for 14mm tobacco pipe bowls
• 2 holders sized for 18mm tobacco pipe bowls
• 4 storage troughs for cigarette papers, matches or wicks
