A cigar tube holds a single cigar, but can also hide a lockpick in its lining.

Tier 1

Analyze

You analyze your garnet leather cylinder and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:

Your cylinder must remain some kind of cylindrical container.  You may change the show description but it cannot support a long description.  In addition, you can alter the ring/band that is beneath the cap, which will always be a part of the show by default.  TURN to raise/lower the velvet lining concealing your lockpicks.  Your cylinder is currently at Tier 0/1.

The following verbs are available to you: OPEN, CLOSE, TURN.  Original idea by Ardule, Duskruin.
