Hello.

I have recently started smoking and I enjoy the occasional smokes on weekends.

I have never bought pre-made cigarettes. I have smoked them when I've asked friends for one, but now I roll my own exclusively.

I use Drum tobacco (tried Bugler before, preferred Drum), Rizla papers (the blue ones), TOP filters, and a Zig Zag rolling machine. Now friends are constantly bumming smokes off of me! It tastes better (though I find the smoke smells worse) and burns longer (either that or I'm a slow smoker).

But rolling your own is complex. I have to put the filter in, spread the tobacco without getting any on/in the filter, close, roll, insert paper, roll, etc.

I'm looking into stuff-your-own using tubes and machines. Now I'm looking for a "specific" type of tube.

Ever seen Enemy At The Gates? Remember Major König? He had cigarettes that were a uniform white color with an attractive gold band and no company label on it.

Does anyone know where I can get these? They obviously exist, or else it wouldn't have been in the movies.

Thanks!

Jason

Premier Light 100's tubes are like that (only there is a faint logo on it too). How do I know? Because these are the tubes I use.

Thanks! These ones, right?



I like these, if only it weren't for the ZZ logo on it
