Pipe ashtrays come with a cork ball. This half of a sphere is very useful since it allows '''to empty out the ashes after smoking without damaging the pipe'''.

Some ashtrays have a built-in drawer where you can '''store your accessories''' (pipe tampers, lighters or filters) so that they are always within reach. | |||
