Cheap test tubes (with free cigars!)

Hey all! I was standing at work today when I spotted something I hadn't noticed before - Garcia y Vega Crystal cigars. They come in a glass tube, with either a cork, or a plastic stopper at the end.
After having searched for a decent deal on test tubes, I saw that you could get a 3 pack of these guys for 3 dollars. That's a dollar a tube. Since they're made of glass, they can be pressure cooked.
I'll take a picture of the 3 pack I got when I get home... in the meantime check this one out to get an idea of what they look like:

They look like they'd be perfect for agar. Also, you get a free cigar with each one you buy! 
Just figured I'd pass this on since I know a couple of you would probobly be interested. Plus for the paranoid, buying a box of cigars is a whole lot less conspicuous than ordering from a lab supplier!

Hey, I used to smoke those when I was a kid, heh. Now, the glass tube they come in... I need to pick one up again and check them out because from what I remember (10-12yrs ago) those glass tubes were so fragile they'd break if you blinked at them.

I suppose this is neat but I'd take a box of vacutainers over those anyday. Gotta love those self healing ports on the vacutainers.

The problem is they don't have lids. You can't use a cork, and they have to be kept sterile, while allowing for gas exchange. If you can find one with screw on lids, they'll work fine. You just leave the lid a full turn loose to allow for gas exchange, and wrap with parafilm to keep contaminants out.
Here's some cooling after sterilization in front of the flowhood. I use the weight from a PC to hold them at the right angle. You can also see the piece of wood placed into each slant, which once the mycelium colonizes the wood, it will last in stasis for years. RR

What do you mean wrap them with a parafilm? I can't use suran wrap, can I? Is the parafilm supposed to surround the whole test tube?
