Nero Marquina Marble Cigar Ashtray: Solid Stone, Unique by Nature, Handmade in Italy

If you’re searching for a luxury cigar ashtray that feels as timeless as your ritual, Nero Marquina marble delivers. Deep black with crisp white veining, this natural stone transforms a functional object into a design piece—handmade in Italy and carved from solid stone to last a lifetime. Every ashtray is unique: the veining is drawn by nature, not printed, so no two pieces are ever identical.

What Makes Nero Marquina Special

Nero Marquina is prized for its jet-black base and striking contrasting veins. In a cigar ashtray, that contrast does more than look elegant: it highlights the clean lines, polished edges, and the craftsmanship that brings the stone to life. Because we work with full-body marble, the material is dense and weighty, giving the ashtray reassuring stability on any desk, lounge table, or humidor top.

Why a Solid Marble Ashtray for Cigars

• Heat resilience: Solid stone tolerates hot ash and rests between draws without deforming.
• Stability & balance: The weight prevents accidental movement while you handle your cigar.
• Clean look, easy care: The polished surface wipes down quickly; a soft cloth restores the original sheen in seconds.
• Aesthetic permanence: Unlike composite or painted pieces, real marble ages gracefully and retains its luxury feel.

Handmade in Italy, One by One

Our process is intentionally slow. Each ashtray is machined from solid stone, then hand-refined:

• Edges: crisp yet comfortable to the touch.
• Cigar rest(s): profiled to cradle the cigar without forcing it, suitable for different ring gauges.
• Finish: hand-polished to reveal depth, with subtle transitions that reflect light beautifully.

Because every block of marble is singular, your ashtray’s veining, tonality, and micro-patterns will differ from the photos—this is the charm of natural stone and the guarantee that your piece is truly one of a kind.

Designed for Daily Use

• Functional geometry keeps ash contained and makes disposal simple.
• Non-slip base (felt or rubber feet) protects furniture and prevents sliding.
• Compact footprint fits a desk or side table yet has presence as a centerpiece.

Care & Maintenance

• After use, wipe with a soft dry cloth.
• For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp microfiber and dry immediately.
• Avoid acidic cleaners or abrasive pads to protect the polish.
• If needed, a neutral pH stone cleaner keeps the surface pristine.

A Gift With Substance

For collectors and aficionados, a black marble cigar ashtray is a meaningful gift: it’s useful, architectural, and personal thanks to the one-off veining. Paired with a favorite cigar, it marks celebrations, milestones, and quiet moments alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is marble safe with hot ash?
Yes. Solid marble tolerates the normal heat of cigar ash. Avoid placing open flame directly on the stone.

Will the veining match the photos exactly?
No—each piece is unique. Expect variations in veining, line thickness, and pattern. That uniqueness is part of the value.

Does marble stain?
Marble is a natural stone; wipe spills promptly. With normal ash use and routine cleaning, the surface remains elegant over time.

How do I clean it?
Use a soft dry cloth after each session. For occasional cleaning, use a damp microfiber and dry immediately; avoid acidic or abrasive products.

Is it heavy?
Yes—in a good way. The weight adds stability so the ashtray stays put while you enjoy your cigar.

Is it handmade in Italy?
Absolutely. Each piece is crafted and finished in Italy with an artisanal process from start to finish.
