Ashtrays
by Champ High
The Goldbar Pocket Ashtray is a 69 x 29 x 13mm portable metal ashtray styled to look like a miniature gold bar, weighing approximately 30 grams and designed to keep your finished joints, loose herb, and ash contained while you're out and about. It's smaller than a standard lighter and slides into any pocket, pouch, or bag without adding bulk. No more flicking ash into the wind or leaving roaches on the ground — this little ingot keeps things tidy.

Complete your on-the-go setup: buy a pocket-sized rolling tray and a set of pre-rolled cones to pair with the Goldbar. A decent metal grinder like the SLX Non-Stick Grinder rounds things out — grind, roll, smoke, and stash the evidence. The RAW Pocket Ashtray is another option if you prefer a pouch-style design, and the Saverette Tube works well for storing half-smoked joints before you ash them. Clean and sorted.
A pocket ashtray solves the single most common problem outdoor smokers face: having nowhere to put ash and roach ends. According to a 2023 survey by Keep Britain Tidy, cigarette butts accounted for approximately 66% of all littered items on UK streets — a figure that shows how few smokers carry any kind of portable disposal. The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) has noted that cannabis use across Europe rose by roughly 15% between 2010 and 2022, meaning more people are smoking outdoors in parks, at festivals, and on balconies without access to fixed ashtrays.
You end up cupping ash in your palm, stuffing a roach into an empty crisp packet, or — worst case — just dropping it on the ground. Parks, festivals, beaches, balconies at a mate's flat — none of these places come with built-in ashtrays, and nobody wants to be the person who leaves a mess behind.
The Goldbar addresses that in the most compact way possible. It's 69mm long — roughly the length of your thumb — and 13mm thin, with a total volume of approximately 26 cubic centimetres. That's genuinely pocket-friendly. We've seen plenty of "portable" ashtrays that are about as portable as a coffee mug. This one actually disappears into your jeans. The sliding lid keeps everything sealed inside, so you won't end up with ash lining your pocket. The gold bar styling is a nice touch too — it weighs around 30 grams but feels solid in the hand, with a satisfying metallic click when you slide it shut.
From Our Counter: One of our warehouse team started carrying the Goldbar to outdoor gigs last summer. His verdict after about four months and roughly 12 festivals: "I used to wrap roaches in receipts and forget about them. Found one in my washing machine in January. The Goldbar stopped that completely." He did note that emptying it between sets is essential — after three or four joints the lid doesn't slide as smoothly because ash builds up in the channel. A 10-second tap-out between acts keeps it running perfectly.
One honest limitation: this is compact, so it's not going to hold the remains of a full session with four people. It's sized for one or two joints' worth of ash and a couple of roach ends — roughly 2–3 grams of material at most. For solo sessions or a quick smoke with a friend, it's spot on. For a group sesh, you'll still want a full-sized ashtray — the Goldbar works best as your personal carry. Compared to pouch-style ashtrays, the Goldbar is roughly 40% smaller in footprint but holds about 50% less volume, so you're trading capacity for genuine pocketability.
Using the Goldbar takes about 5 seconds: slide the lid open, tap your ash in, drop your roach end, and slide it shut. The entire cycle from open to sealed is faster than finding a bin — which, according to Keep Britain Tidy data, are spaced an average of 100 metres apart in urban areas and often absent entirely in parks and festival grounds.
Some smokers use mint tins, film canisters, or folded aluminium foil as improvised pocket ashtrays. Here's how the Goldbar stacks up:
Slightly, yes. The sliding lid seals well but it's not airtight — there's approximately a 0.5mm gap along the channel edges. Fresh ash is barely noticeable, but a stale roach left inside for 3+ hours will make itself known. Best practice: empty it after each session rather than letting it sit.
Yes. At 69 x 29 x 13mm, it's smaller than most lighters (a standard BIC is 83 x 25 x 17mm). It fits comfortably in a coin pocket, shirt pocket, or the small zip compartment on a backpack. That's genuinely the point — if it doesn't fit, nobody carries it.
You can press a joint end against the interior to extinguish it. The metal body handles temperatures well above the 400–600°C range of a burning joint tip. Just don't grind it aggressively — the tray is compact, and you'll push ash over the edges if you're heavy-handed.
Tap it out over a bin, then wipe the interior with a dry cloth or tissue. For tar and resin buildup, use a cotton bud dipped in isopropyl alcohol (90%+ concentration works best). Takes about 30 seconds. Do this every 3–5 uses and it'll stay fresh for years.
No. It's a metal ashtray with a gold-coloured finish designed to look like a miniature gold bar. It weighs approximately 30 grams — real gold at this size would weigh around 350 grams and cost over €20,000. It's lightweight, durable, and costs considerably less than actual bullion.
Realistically, 1–2 standard roach ends plus loose ash from a couple of joints — roughly 2–3 grams of material total. It's a personal carry, not a communal ashtray. For longer group sessions, empty it midway or pair it with a larger tray.
You can order the Goldbar Pocket Ashtray directly from Azarius. It ships from the Netherlands to most European countries, typically arriving within 1–5 business days depending on your location.
