Is the Louxor meant to be used or displayed?

Both. It is a working ashtray with rests for a cigar, but the faceted crystal is cut to catch light, so most owners leave it out as decor between smokes.

How does it differ from Baccarat's older cigar ashtrays?

The Louxor is a 2025 design with an angular, pyramid-inspired cut rather than the rounded forms of earlier Baccarat ashtrays. It keeps the same clear crystal and French production.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

No. Wash crystal by hand in warm water with mild soap and dry it with a soft cloth. Dishwasher heat and detergent can cloud the surface and dull the facets.

What comes in the box?

The ashtray in Baccarat's red box tied with a white ribbon, plus a gift bag. That packaging makes it ready to give without extra wrapping.

Will it hold a large ring-gauge cigar?

The rests are cut into the crystal top and take standard cigar sizes. Very thick ring gauges may sit higher than a thin panatela, so check the rest width if you smoke large vitolas.
