What Are Cigarette Tubes?

Cigarette tubes are empty pre-rolled paper tubes with a filter already attached. You fill them with your own tobacco using an injector, producing a finished cigarette that looks and feels like a pre-made one. For roll-your-own smokers who want a neat, uniform result without rolling by hand, cigarette tubes are an easy solution.

5 Things to Know

1. Sizes. Tubes come in king-size, regular and slim to match your preference.
2. Filters included. Most tubes have a filter built in, so no separate tips are needed.
3. You need an injector. A simple injector packs tobacco into the tube neatly.
4. Even filling matters. Consistent tobacco amount gives a consistent draw.
5. Fresh tobacco works best. Slightly fresh tobacco fills more smoothly than dry.

How to Fill Cigarette Tubes

1. Load an even amount of tobacco into the injector’s chamber.
2. Place an empty tube over the injector nozzle.
3. Slide the lever to pack the tobacco into the tube.
4. Remove the filled tube — it is ready to smoke.

With a little practice this takes seconds per cigarette. Pair cigarette tubes with quality tobacco for the best results, or compare pre-made options in the cigarettes range.
