At a glance
- Cigarette tubes are pre-made paper cylinders with a filter already attached — you fill them with tobacco using a tube-filling machine (injector).
- The two main sizes are king size (84 mm total length, approximately 58–59 mm tobacco column) and 100s (100 mm total length).
- Tube types include standard filtered, carbon-filtered, unbleached/biodegradable, and flavor-capsule (“click”) tubes.
- Filter length on most tubes is 15–20 mm. Carbon-filtered tubes contain activated carbon granules in the filter.
- Tubes are designed to work with injector machines — they are not designed to be filled by hand.
