Only problem is a house fire that can commence if the candle burns all the way down. Are you selling them? You may be dragged into a case if your candle holder is the cause of a fire. If you want to have long candles used in the holders, use the cups.
An alternative if you just want to make something to house a candle for softer light is to make them to hold large tea lights (these are in an aluminium cup already).

geoff,
Try copper pipe. It's not tapered but I remember using it once and it worked fine. Not sure what size - 3/4" or 1". If you are dead set on the taper, drill a tapered hole in something like rock maple, turn a tapered ram to fit, put the copper pipe in the tapered hole and use the ram to size it.
