Here is something using the same technique as mr.art's reply, but more self
explanatory.
It may do what you are looking for.

#macro Cy(PitchRad) <PitchRad,0,0> <PitchRad,1,0> Rad, Strength #end 

#local Rad =1;
#local Strength =2;

#local Ang=0;
blob {
      #while (Ang<360)
      cylinder { Cy(4) rotate y*Ang  }
      #local Ang=Ang+20;
      #end
      pigment {Red}
}
