A method and apparatus for retaining and extinguishing a cannabis cigarette and ash. The device with a body with a hollow cavity defining a first volume configured to extinguish the cannabis cigarette. This first volume tapering from a base to an opposing opening configured so that ash from the extinguished cannabis cigarette travels unidirectionally through the body and into the second end cap. The first end cap removably attachable to the body and a second end cap removably attachable to the opposite end of the body.

A container ashtray assembly includes a cup-shaped container member comprising a bottom wall and a side wall extending outwardly from the bottom wall to a mouth thereby defining a receptacle volume. An ashtray lid member includes a receptacle portion and a nesting portion. The receptacle portion includes a bottom wall and a side wall extending outwardly from the bottom wall thereby defining an ashtray volume. The receptacle volume of the container member is greater than the ashtray volume of the ashtray lid member.

An ashtray according to the principles of the invention includes a container portion having two internal sections where the container is configured to receive a first lid. The first lid includes topical features for use as an ash tray and defines holes to allow ashes to drop into section of the container.
