A black cat firecracker and 1/2 oz of #9 lead shot will fit in there (personnel deterrent???). One whole sheet of standard kleenex tissue can be stuffed in.
I could go on...
The mental image I have of Ben jamming everything within arms reach into a Sharpie cap makes me laugh. Just don't put the cotton/vaseline and the 100 dollar bill in without something in between...if you need to spend the 100, they might look at you funny when you goo up their hand.

The aluminum cigar tubes are great, but they are very thin walled, and get deformed easily. I prefer the plastic ones myself. The cap is only a friction fit, but a wrap with tape fixes that, keeping the cap on and making them pretty water resistant...

Sone are heavier rhan others and some are double walled (the two halves slide over each other)like a Davidoff tubos 2000. They're pretty tough.

No, no, no smugness intended, just very tired. My eyes were starting to close and I didn't want to dream (yet again) of doing wierd things with Sharpies.
