Those only fit up to 48 ring gauge !!!!!!
The question was.... what about a group discount? How much for 50 standard tubes with initials?
That is correct. For bigger diameter I have to create a prototype as this size was always enough or too big (people smoke smaller cigars in EU I guess
)

Just looking at the examples you've provided in your posts here I can see your material costs alone for each tube most likely exceed $20 per copy! I don't think a lot of people realize how much the raw materials cost for finely made objects. Not everything is made in China you know!
yes sir

those look really nice. a little pricy but the workmanship for these look amazing. Im wondering how much one that fits a 6x60 cigar would cost?
will have to create one first to tell you the price estimate, I suppose $80-85, but can be less

With a large shaper it would be easy to replicate these with only a couple passes through the band saw and shaper. A quick spin on a weenie roller into a sander after gluing the two haves back together and voila! It's not profitable to turn these out of a single block and most don't appear to be. My guess is they are veneers overlaying an aluminum tube..........
Can you show us a picture of the interior Cigarcigan?
They are all wooden. It can also be made on lathe, but to my experience such cigar tube is not as solid as it should be and cracks. And it's heavier.

Would be interested in a group order. Would be interested in a Churchill size (180 mm X 20 mm).
XX
Would make it for the same price as 170x20

So if we do a group order certain details will need to be agreed on.
Size: The 20 mm X 170 mm seems to be a no go. A Churchill size would be 20 mm X 180 mm. A Double Toro would be 24mm X 150 mm. What size would be agreeable?
Style: A plain style would run about $40 hopefully cheaper if 50 were purchased. A custom runs $75 hopefully cheaper if 50 were purchased. So what would be preferred? Would the custom just have a CG logo or individual initials?
Finally the big question : Can we get 50 geeks to agree on something? Hopefully cigarcigan can offer some suggestions and price structure?
Well, the reason I offerd the group buy was that there would be huge saving on shipping compared to every tube sent individually. Unfortunately, it's not a group by where the price is half, we are not Groupon
these are our products, making them still takes the same amount of work and time. But I know that would not be interesting for you, so I would make them for $65 each
