Les Fines Lames Elevates Ashtray Design with New Obsidian and RAW Aluminium Editions

October 11, 2024 Inspector X 2 min read

In 2022, LES FINES LAMES, the innovative French brand behind the popular Le PETIT cigar knife, Le TAG, and the Punch Bracelet, was named Best Cigar Accessory. Now, the brand is expanding its luxurious offerings with the introduction of two new materials—Obsidian and RAW Aluminium—to its MONAD and DYAD ashtray lines. These additions bring a bold and artistic flair to the LES FINES LAMES experience, designed to enhance any cigar aficionado’s ritual.

The RAW Aluminium finish brings a rugged, industrial aesthetic to the MONAD and DYAD ashtrays. The tumbled aluminium gives each piece a one-of-a-kind texture, embracing the Japanese Wabi-Sabi philosophy, which finds beauty in imperfection. Marks from the production process, such as small scratches or subtle irregularities, add to the uniqueness of each ashtray. Over time, these pieces will naturally age, developing a patina from fingerprints, stains, and oxidation that further enhances their character. Priced at 95 €/$ for the MONAD RAW Aluminium ashtray and 115 €/$ for the DYAD RAW Aluminium ashtray, these items are an accessible entry into the world of refined cigar accessories.

In contrast, the Obsidian versions of the MONAD and DYAD ashtrays offer a more luxurious experience. Obsidian, a volcanic glass formed from rapidly cooled lava, provides a striking interplay of transparency and reflection in these exquisite pieces. Each Obsidian ashtray is a stunning work of natural art, turning a functional cigar accessory into a statement piece. The MONAD Obsidian ashtray is priced at 750 €/$, while the DYAD Obsidian ashtray commands 850 €/$.

These ashtrays are not just functional items but are designed to elevate the entire cigar-smoking experience. Whether it’s the rugged, industrial feel of the RAW Aluminium or the opulent beauty of the Obsidian, LES FINES LAMES continues to merge practicality with artistic craftsmanship, offering cigar enthusiasts a refined way to enjoy their hobby while beautifying their spaces.
