Cigar Tube Kits
Cigar Tubes
Cigar tubes make excellent waterproof containers that are useful for a variety of purposes. There are many different kinds of cigar tubes. The ones I am specifically talking about are the aluminum ones with a screw cap. Some of these may not be waterproof. I am not a cigar tube expert. You can check by unscrewing the lid, and they should have a little piece of cork in the cap. Again, some may use a different material, but all of the ones I have seen have been cork.
What's good about them?
- Waterproof
- Useful size for a variety of purposes
- Good size for sticking in a pocket or pack
- Lightweight: the two I have weigh between 9-10 grams
- Free: hopefully, if you know someone who smokes, else you can sometimes find them at a thrift store
Possible uses:
- Survival kit
- Medical kit
- Fishing kit
- Fire/lighting kit
- Expanding towelette container
- Spice container
If you watch the video above, you can see a couple of examples I use. If you have other ideas or have made cigar tube kits of your own, leave a comment, Iād love to hear about it.
