contents In this note we study solid tori in contact manifolds. Specifically, we study the width of a knot type and give criteria for when it is equal to the maximal Thurston-Bennequin invariant, and when it is larger. We also prove there are many ``non-thickenable" tori in many knot types. These had previously only been observed in $S^3$.
