Ceniceros

Ceniceros (plural noun) refers to receptacles designed to hold cigarette ash and discarded cigarette butts. The term is of Spanish origin, derived from "ceniza," meaning ash. Ceniceros are commonly found in locations where smoking is permitted, such as homes, offices, outdoor areas, and vehicles. They can be made from a variety of materials, including glass, metal, ceramic, and plastic. Designs vary widely, ranging from simple ashtrays to more elaborate and decorative pieces. Beyond their functional purpose, ceniceros can sometimes hold cultural or historical significance, reflecting artistic styles or social customs of specific periods or regions.
