Although its just paper, the cigarette tube is an important factor in the flavor of your homemade cigarettes. Some paper is made with wood, some of rice, and some even of hemp or other plants. Rice paper burns slow and tastes smooth, while hemp paper burns faster, hotter, and has a more mellow flavor. Therefore, some cigarette tubes will taste better per person than others. Try a few different brands, especially if you smoke menthol, because some will likely taste better to you than others. It may take a few boxes before you find one that suits you. The recipes in this guide show the type of cigarette tube used in matching that flavor of the desired cigarette. Many different types of filter tube are carried at Amazon and shown below.
