best cigar tube length and width

I used to coach lacrosse. I can't tell you how many times a defenseman would start out the season with the latest and greatest Titanium stick from STX or Warrior, only to wrap it around an attackman, and either bend it up beyond repair or snap it in half. You go through a couple of those, and those aluminum sticks start looking really good. I'm not necessarily sold on Titanium as an indestructable metal - yet.

thats the thing, titanium is not indestructible.

Something alot of people do not understand is that titanium is not some sort of magical material that will never break. Titanium has a very nice weight to strength ratio and its very rust resistant, but that doesn't mean its indestructible, all that means is that a 1 lb piece of titanium will be stronger than a 1 lb piece of aluminum.

In the case of the lacrosse sticks, the sticks may be made thinner than the aluminum sticks so they are lighter and just as strong. Same concept goes into titanium bike frames, its strength allows the frames to be made thinner and therefor lighter.

Anyways, thanks for all the feedback and suggestions guys.

Yeah... but which piece would be heavier??


Seriously, those are very nice looking, and I'm sure there's a small niche in the market for them.

I WOULD consdider marketing them as indestructable, and engineered waterproof. Possibly cedar lined, individually serial numbered and registered, maybe a lanyard?

For $160.00 American, That's the LEAST I would expect!

I would be looking for a happy ending at $160/pop.

A "Hands-free mystery-batch"?

Well I dont understand how Snowpeak and other manafacturers sell titanium cookware so cheaply. If that's so costly, why is a coffee press like $50. I think I paid like $25 on ebay for one. Pretty neat tube for the wealthier, but taking 1 cigar is not much good unles I'm only heading to the back yard anyway. Good luck with the tube.

its very easy, for the most part those are made of titanium sheet and they are mass produced in a factory.Titanium sheet is shaped or welded together, very different than machining.

When you machine something out of a soild piece of titanium its more expensive to make. All the material you remove is wasted.

The scrap can't be melted down and recycled?

And you could get one so long as it's a Petite Corona tube.
