What are your favorite tubes? Least favorites? What are the lightest tubes that you've tried? How about the strongest?

I've tried:

Vera Cruz: Yuck - got 5 cartons left- anyone want them? They are cool looking - too bad...

ZigZag lights: Poor construction - perforations leave yellow fingers

Gambler lights: Ditto to the Zig Zag thing

Top Lights: Don't fit on Supermatic machines very easily -need to force the ends onto the nozzle and they rip alot - looks like they are made for their little hand held shooters- Pass

Premier Lights: Best I've found to date for what I can get locally.
No perforations at the filter and strong paper around the filter for stability.

El Rey's my brand, very good quality.
Worst I've had are the gamblers....

Rizla deluxe ff are my favorites
Premier, three castles, Gizeh are also good
Rayo are the worst I've tried , they tended to fall apart and had an off taste
If you like a lighter smoke I'd recomend the Gizah Charbons they have charcoal in the filter, they aren't what I'd call a light tube but they definetly mellow out a tobacco especially ones that might be a bit heavy on the toppings.
Zig zag FF are also good, but the ZigZag lights I did not care for.

Thanks for the sugestions! Yeah, I didn't care for the ZigZag's either, they dropped ashes everywhere and burn unevenly. So far I like Premier Lights the best. Others have said that they don't like the brown Vera Cruz tubes but I found them to quite good with turkish tobacco.
