If you are used to buying light cigarettes at the tobacconist's, you will have to pay attention to the choice of your cigarette tubes and to their filter. Some brands of tubes will allow you to obtain the same sensations as with your industrial cigarettes. It's all in the choice of filter.

Gizeh, to name but one brand, has created specific filters to soften the smoke. You will find them on the Gizeh Air Plus Technology tubes and the Gizeh Silver Tip charcoal tubes, which incorporate an activated charcoal filter. Equipped with Air Plus technology, these tubes are ventilated using the same manufacturing method as light cigarettes: the filters are laser perforated. The sensations provided are comparable to those of your light cigarettes. For the Gizeh Silver Tip carbon tubes, the double filter technology is used. The first part remains classic with a cellulose acetate composition, the second is more innovative with its activated carbon composition. This filter retains a greater amount of tar, nicotine and other irritating tobacco components. With these tubes, you will have the impression of smoking lights.

Between the lights and the classics, you have tubes with extra-long filters, such as those seen on Zen tubes or Gizeh Silver Tip Extra tubes. Their
filters are longer than average to soften the cigarette smoke without taking away from its strength. The Zen tubes are 15% longer, the Gizeh Silver Tip Extra is 60% longer and measures 25 mm. Smokers also appreciate them for the savings they make. By making their filters 60% longer, Gizeh has reduced the space for tobacco by 10%, which in the long run saves tobacco. Consumers have sometimes noticed that with their usual tobacco pot, they can tube up to 100 cigarettes with Gizeh Silver Tip Extra compared to the usual 80. The choice of filter is therefore important for budget-conscious consumers.

The choice couldn't be wider than at Mistersmoke! By "classic cigarette", we mean cigarettes with common filters filters and traditional taste. Length and color can vary according to cigarette tube brand and model. To begin with, the length. The most common tubes are 85 mm long. This is the case for Smoking Deluxe or OCB tubes, but you can also find long tubes of 100 mm. Zen even offers classic or menthol tubes.

Then there's the color, or look if you prefer. Here again, tubes are modeled on industrial cigarettes. Tubes can sometimes be mistaken for cigarettes sold in the shops. They have taken on the same colors: the look of cork for the classic filters, or the color white for the White version tubes. The only difference is that you may be able to read the name of a rolling tobacco brand under the mouthpiece, such as OCB, Sensky or Smoking. Some tubes even feature gold plating. Gizeh Golden Tip tubes add a touch of luxury with their white filters with gold edging. They have all the trappings of a classic tube, but their quality is far superior. You'll be able to design more economical cigarettes that are just as good as the ones you used to smoke.
