So much in love with shiny new toys, it's unnatural.

A clever former Fender amp designer merged a cigarette pack with a practice amp to form the Smokey Amp. Notable for its portability rather than its sound quality, the amp is powered by one battery that gives you ten hours of play-time. The amp is fairly loud for its size, so if you're in the habit of pulling out your axe to give impromptu serenades to people on the subway, £24.95 ($45) will get you what you need.

I used to have one of these when I was a teen in highschool, not the greatest, but also louder than you thought.
I really like this project, though I don't smoke cigs.
I don't know where to find them for projects, but it strikes me that those new-generation microdriver type speakers might be good to excellent in a project like this.
(Sorry, I'm a modder.)
These are anything but a new item, I've had one since 1999. Bought it at the local over-priced guitar shop. They're just an old novelty item, not quite sure why they're getting press as a new gizmo on the scene...
they are much older than that, I owned one back in 95. They became a hit in 99 though when the guy started to mass produce them.
OMG SOOOOOO OLD!
