    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.

    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.
