Straw, essentially (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tube

'straw essentially' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tube that I've seen before include "Pipe or hose" , "Cylindrical hollow conduit" , "Pack of toothpaste; type of train" , "Can of beer (colloquial)" , "Long, hollow cylinder" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Newsday.com and the USA Today.
