Ash's and butt's everywhere.

I just dump the ash and any buts in the outdoor trash bin. It usually has a mix of garbage, charcoal and ash from the grill, and some dog rockets from the daily walking of our dogs. Cigar smell is never an issue.

At home I usually smoke on the back deck. Ashtray gets dumped over the railing into the lawn where the butts get mulched up next time I mow. Either that, or I will toss them into my compost bin where they decompose and become rich organic matter for the flower beds.

Buts usually go in the wood burner. I've also given them a proper burial by kicking a small divot in the ground with my heel, dropping one in and covering it with dirt. Usually it's pretty easy to find a small area devoid of grass for the purpose.

I do make sure the butt is cool before I do this, though.

This is what I do.

Too true, but also remember that - "The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe" (some here may recognize that)

Back to the topic at hand...My ashes usually just go on the ground to be blown around by the wind and my butts go either in the coals in my grill, or in the campfire, depending on where I'm smoking.

I built a little firepit in our backyard, so I toss the butts in there. Random tree branches also get pitched in there. At some point, they are consumed by flame or broken down by the elements - out of sight, out of mind. Makes for good coals for a wienie roast, too!

The apostrophes for plurals is a pet peeve of mine. Not sure why it annoys me, but it does. A lot of people do it, but I've never figured out why.

Butts and ashes go in the ashtray on the porch. If they get annoying, they then go in a covered trash can on the porch.

Last Summer my little brother and I were having cigars on the porch while he was going over my black powder weapons. I have a little 20 ga side-by-side black powder shotgun he liked a lot. When we finished our smokes I loaded it with powder and wads, but no shot. I dropped a butt down each barrel, drew back the rabbit ear hammers, and let both barrels go at once. It blew the butts to smithereens!

My wife came out and started lecturing us about playing with firearms while drinking, and said no more shotguns today. I said something about there being more butts in the ashtray still, but she shot me down by saying if she heard one more shot she would call my little brothers wife (who we are all terrified of). I cleaned, and put away the shotgun right away.

I've always struggled with this as I am against leaving them sit in the ashtray for even one night. When the smoking is done they have to go. The problem is it seemed like I was using up a lot of plastic bags and still stinking up the trash can (worse than usual) so lately I've taken to dumping them out on the side of house in a gravel area that is never used. Works ok but the breakdown time of the butt's is very long so I am starting to get quite a collection growing on the ground. So far the wife hasn't seen but I know those days are numbered. So I would love to hear what everyone is doing with theirs.
