Mine didn't have a metal tube but a wooden one.
I think it was the bigest size.
I've cut a tube on the right size, made one cut through in the length and peeled loose some of the leather.
Then cut it on the right size and glue back together.
There must be a tabel to be found with cigarsizes, but I think the metal-tubes will be larger then the size of the cigar...
So with metal you need the exact size while it is more difficult to alter.
Maybe they sell some cheap, so you can experiment?
But you don't really need a tube!
The first one I made is just a leather tube and works as good, maybe even better

Brigit, what size cigar tubes are you using? I see they come in sizes that accept 52, 54 and 56 ring gauge cigars. I'm assuming that you are cutting the cigar tube and using the metal tube with leather wrap as a replacement for the pants of the Poldiac? If someone has digital calipers, could you measure the outer diameter of the battery tube?
