The Cigar Tray is a first-of-its-kind, sensor-based ashtray that continuously measures the burning temperature of a cigar placed on its lip. It provides visual cues to the user using tri-colored LEDs to ensure the cigar is burned as evenly as possible, resulting in an elevated taste and overall smoking experience. The Cigar Tray also has the supportive capability of transmitting the cigar temperature to the user's smartphone using Bluetooth technology. This affords the user the ability to place their cigar down and roam or complete a task while monitoring their cigar's temperature and burn rate from a distance. Its sleek design and utile burn-assist feature make it the perfect home accessory for cigar enthusiasts who revel in indulging their passion on their patio, front porch, or in the backyard during a family BBQ.
