My best guess without a scale is 33 pounds.

The cylinder is approximately 4"x10", or 126 cubic inches.  If steel weighs .2904 pounds per cubic inch, and if the cylinder was solid steel it would weigh 36.59 pounds. The rebar packed in pretty tight, I would estimate fill at 90 percent, so 36.59 x .9 = 32.93136.

...or did you mean this thing?  I would be a fool to venture a guess without actually putting my hands on it.  Maybe giving it a little squeeze.  Rumor has it estimating is an art.   :)
