Cellulose fibers from wood, cotton, hemp, or other sources are dissolved in alkali and carbon disulphide to make a solution called viscose, which is then extruded through a slit into a bath of dilute sulfuric acid and sodium sulfate to reconvert the viscose into cellulose. The film is then passed through several more baths, one to remove sulfur, one to bleach the film, and one to add glycerin to prevent the film from becoming brittle.
A similar process, using a hole (a spinneret) instead of a slit, is used to make a fibre called rayon. Chemically, cellophane, rayon and cellulose are polymers of glucose and contain the chemical elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

And unless it goes through a waterproofing process it is not air tight.

I cut my cigars with the cello on when I am going to school and I don't want to carry my cutter, but I want the extra protection for my smoke. I have been doing it for a year or more, and it works great.

Anyone new to trying this?
I've cut three today and marveled at how easy it is to cut a thin piece off the cap and it slides out of the cello sooooo good.

So how do you cut cigars in the aluminum tubes? Wouldn't that ruin your cutter?

You guys don't know anything! You use bolt cutters...much cleaner cut. :D

You're wrong too! You don't even have to cut tubos. Just light 'em up as is.;)
