Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Cigarettenpapierhülse mit Filtermundstück bei der das Filtermundstück aus einem ersten Filterpfropfen gebildet ist, welcher mit einer Leimschicht am mundseitigen Ende mit der Innenfläche der Papierhülse verbunden ist, deren Außenfläche von einem vom Mundstückende bis gegebenenfalls über den Bereich des ersten Filterpfropfens hinausragenden Mundstückumhüllungsblatt umgeben ist, zur Selbstverfertigung von Cigaretten.The invention relates to a cigarette paper sleeve with a filter mouthpiece in which the filter mouthpiece is formed from a first filter plug which is connected to the inner surface of the paper sleeve with a glue layer at the mouth end, the outer surface of which is surrounded by a mouthpiece wrapping sheet projecting from the end of the mouthpiece and possibly beyond the area of the first filter plug is for the self-production of cigarettes.

Papierhülsen mit derartigem angesetzten Filtermundstück zur Selbstverfertigung von Cigaretten sind allgemein bekannt, um eine Tabakportion entweder mittels einer Vorrichtung in die Cigarettenpapierhülse als vorgeformten Strang einzuschieben oder um formstabile Tabakpatronen in die Cigarettenpapierhülse einzustopfen. Derartig formstabile Tabakpatronen können entweder aus einem zusammengepreßten und gegebenenfalls durch Bindemittel zusammengehaltenen Tabakstrang bestehen oder können auch als z.B. aus der NL-A 6 703 935 bekannte Tabakpatronen eingesetzt werden, die von einer porösen Unhüllung aus vollständig rauchbarem Material umgeben sind.Paper tubes with such attached filter mouthpiece for the self-manufacture of cigarettes are generally known to either insert a portion of tobacco into the cigarette paper tube as a preformed strand by means of a device or to plug dimensionally stable tobacco cartridges into the cigarette paper tube. Such dimensionally stable tobacco cartridges can either consist of a compressed tobacco rod, possibly held together by binders, or can also be used as e.g. tobacco cartridges known from NL-A 6 703 935 are used, which are surrounded by a porous covering made of completely smokable material.

Die Selbstverfertigung von Cigaretten mit derartigen Papierhülsen ist insofern unvollkommen, als einmal dem Verbraucher wegen des Standardfiltermundstückes die Möglichkeit nicht gegeben ist, ventilierte oder leichte Cigaretten selbst zu fertigen und weil zum anderen die in Schachteln dargebotenen Cigarettenpapierhülsen an ihren offenen Enden oft eingedrückt werden, so daß die Einführung von Tabakportionen erschwert wird.The self-production of cigarettes with such paper tubes is incomplete in that the consumer is not given the opportunity to manufacture ventilated or light cigarettes themselves because of the standard filter mouthpiece and because the cigarette paper tubes presented in boxes are often pressed in at their open ends, so that the introduction of tobacco portions is difficult.

Die Erfindung hat sich die Aufgabe gestellt, Cigarettenpapierhülsen der eingangs gekennzeichneten Art vorzuschlagen, welche sowohl im Hinblick auf die Leichtigkeit bzw. Ventilation der selbstverfertigten Cigarette anpaßbar sind und die ferner einen Schutz der Papierhülse gegen Verformung insbesondere an dem dem Filtermundstück abgewandten offenen Ende ermöglichen.The invention has for its object to propose cigarette paper tubes of the type characterized in the introduction, which are adaptable both with regard to the lightness or ventilation of the self-made cigarette and which furthermore enable protection of the paper tube against deformation, in particular at the open end facing away from the filter mouthpiece.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgaben wird eine Cigarettenpapierhülse der eingangs gekennzeichneten Art vorgeschlagen, welche gemäß Kennzeichen Hauptanspruch ausgebildet ist, wobei besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsformen in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführt sind.To solve these problems, a cigarette paper sleeve of the type identified at the outset is proposed, which is designed according to the main claim, wherein particularly preferred embodiments are listed in the subclaims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Filter-Cigarettenpapierhülse besteht aus einem üblichen Filtermundstück, beispielsweise einem Acetatfilterpfropfen, welcher mit der Papierhülse verleimt ist und vorzugsweise mit einem Mundstücksumhüllungsblatt im Bereich des Filterpfropfens umhüllt ist und meist um einige Millimeter auch die leere Papierhülse umfaßt. Dieses Filtermundstück kann zur besseren Ventilation auf an sich bekannte Weise beispielsweise durch Laserstrahlen perforiert sein, um den Hauptstromrauch mit Nebenluft zu verdünnen. Erfindungswesentlich ist, daß in der Papierhülse zusätzlich zu dem mit bzw. in der Papierhülse verleimten ersten Filterpfropfen ein weiterer Filterpfropfen vorgesehen ist, dessen Durchmesser dem der Papierhülse derart angepaßt ist, daß dieser weitere Filterpfropfen an der Innenfläche der Papierhülse dicht anliegt aber durch leichten Druck in axialer Richtung beim Befüllen der Papierhülse mit einer Tabakportion in dieser in Richtung auf das Filtermundstück verschiebbar ist. Hierzu ist der Außendurchmesser des Filterpfropfens um 0,05 bis 0,2 mm kleiner als der Innendurchmesser der Cigarettenpapierhülse.The filter cigarette paper tube according to the invention consists of a conventional filter mouthpiece, for example an acetate filter plug, which is glued to the paper tube and is preferably covered with a mouthpiece wrapping sheet in the area of the filter plug and usually also covers the empty paper tube by a few millimeters. For better ventilation, this filter mouthpiece can be perforated in a manner known per se, for example by laser beams, in order to dilute the main flow smoke with secondary air. It is essential to the invention that, in addition to the first filter plug glued to or in the paper sleeve, a further filter plug is provided in the paper sleeve, the diameter of which is adapted to that of the paper sleeve in such a way that this additional filter plug lies tightly against the inner surface of the paper sleeve but by slight pressure in axial direction when filling the paper tube with a portion of tobacco is displaceable in the direction of the filter mouthpiece. For this purpose, the outer diameter of the filter plug is 0.05 to 0.2 mm smaller than the inner diameter of the cigarette paper tube.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der verschiebbare Filterpfropfen an dem dem Filtermundstück entgegengesetzten Ende der Papierhülse angeordnet. Hierdurch wird die Papierhülse an ihrem ursprünglich freien oder offenen und zum Einführen oder Bestopfen mit der Tabakportion geeigneten Ende stabilisiert und kann in der Schachtel nicht beschädigt werden. Ferner ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein wirtschaftliches Verfahren zur Herstellung derartiger Cigarettenpapierhülsen vorzuschlagen, wobei zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe gemäß Anspruch 5 vorgegangen wird.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the displaceable filter plug is arranged on the end of the paper sleeve opposite the filter mouthpiece. As a result, the paper tube is stabilized at its originally free or open end suitable for insertion or tamping with the tobacco portion and cannot be damaged in the box. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to propose an economical method for producing such cigarette paper tubes, the solution to this problem being taken according to claim 5.

Bei der Selbstverfertigung von Cigaretten, beispielsweise mit Tabakportionen gemäß NL-A-6 703 935 oder DE-U-8 326 921 oder DE-U-8 309 186 wird diese formstabile Tabakpatrone benutzt, um den verschiebbaren Filterpfropfen in Richtung auf das Filtermundstück zu verschieben. Auch bei Verwendung von Vorrichtungen zum Stopfen von Cigarettenpapierhülsen, die aus einer länglichen Preßkammer und einem bewegbaren Preßbalken bestehen, kann der strangartige Tabakvorrat durch den kolbenartigen Tabak-Ausstoßschieber zusammen mit dem verschiebbaren Filterpfropfen mit dem vorderen Teil der Aufstecktülle und/oder bei der Überführung des Tabakvorrates in die Hülse in Richtung auf das Filtermundstück geschoben werden.When making cigarettes yourself, for example with tobacco portions according to NL-A-6 703 935 or DE-U-8 326 921 or DE-U-8 309 186, this dimensionally stable tobacco cartridge is used to move the sliding filter plug in the direction of the filter mouthpiece . Even when using devices for plugging cigarette paper tubes, which consist of an elongated press chamber and a movable press beam, the strand-like tobacco supply can be moved through the piston-like tobacco ejection slide together with the displaceable filter plug with the front part of the plug-in nozzle and / or when transferring the tobacco supply be pushed into the sleeve towards the filter mouthpiece.

Bei einer anderen bevorzugten Ausführungsform befindet sich der verschiebbare Filterpfropfen in einem Abstand von beispielsweise 2 bis 15 mm von dem ersten Filterpfropfen in der Hülse entfernt und bildet einen Hohlkammerfilter. Bei dieser Ausführungsform wird zwar das offene Ende der Papierhülse nicht gegen Zerknittern geschützt; es wird jedoch die Papierhülse im unteren Bereich hinreichend verstärkt, so daß sie besser ergriffen und beim Einführen der Tabakportion sicherer gehalten werden kann, ohne daß die Papierhülse beim Einschieben der Tabakportion verdreht oder verknittert wird.In another preferred embodiment, the displaceable filter plug is at a distance of, for example, 2 to 15 mm from the first filter plug in the sleeve and forms a hollow chamber filter. In this embodiment, the open end of the paper tube is not protected against crumpling; however, the paper tube is sufficiently reinforced in the lower area so that it can be gripped better and held more securely when the tobacco portion is inserted without the paper tube being twisted or crumpled when the tobacco portion is inserted.

Bei einer weiteren Ausbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Cigarettenpapierhülse kann diese zumindest an ihrer Innenseite in einem Abstand von beispielsweise 2 bis 15 mm von dem ersten Filterpfropfen eine ringförmige Einschnürung oder ringförmig angeordnete Einkerbungen aufweisen, die den Innendurchmesser der Papierhülse um einige Zehntel Millimeter oder weniger verringern und somit dem verschiebbaren Filterpfropfen beim Einführen der Tabakportion einen Widerstand entgegensetzen, so daß dieser nicht bis zum Filtermundstück durchgeschoben werden kann und das oben erwähnte Kammerfilter bildet. Die Einschnürung oder Einkerbung liegt vorzugsweise im Bereich des stabileren Umhüllungsblattes, kann aber auch mit diesem abschneiden oder im unbelegten Hülsenbereich liegen. Die Perforation im Mundstücksbereich zur besseren Belüftung kann auch im Bereich dieses Kammerfilters liegen, was zu einer besseren Durchwirbelung des Hauptstromrauches mit der Nebenluft führt.In a further embodiment of the cigarette paper tube according to the invention, this can have an annular constriction or at least on its inside at a distance of, for example, 2 to 15 mm from the first filter plug have annularly arranged notches that reduce the inner diameter of the paper tube by a few tenths of a millimeter or less and thus oppose the sliding filter plug when the tobacco portion is inserted, so that it cannot be pushed through to the filter mouthpiece and forms the chamber filter mentioned above. The constriction or notch is preferably in the area of the more stable wrapping sheet, but can also cut off with it or lie in the unoccupied sleeve area. The perforation in the mouthpiece area for better ventilation can also be in the area of this chamber filter, which leads to better swirling of the main flow smoke with the secondary air.

Die Einkerbung oder Einschnürung muß nicht durchgehend ringförmig ausgebildet sein, es genügen beispielsweise auch ein, zwei oder mehrere den Innendurchmesser der Papierhülse verengende voneinander getrennte Bereiche, die punkt- oder bogenförmig vorzugsweise mit gleichem Abstand zum ersten Filterpfropfen angeordnet sind und je nach Ausführungsform einen mehr oder weniger schwer zu überwindenden Widerstand gegen das Einschieben der Tabakpatrone bilden.The indentation or constriction does not have to be continuously annular, for example one, two or more separate areas narrowing the inner diameter of the paper sleeve are sufficient, which are arranged in a dot or arc shape, preferably at the same distance from the first filter plug, and depending on the embodiment, a more or less difficult to overcome resistance to inserting the tobacco cartridge.

Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform gemäß Erfindung ist die Einschnürung oder die ringförmig angeordnete Einkerbung derart ausgebildet, daß der verschiebbare Filterpfropfen bei verstärktem Druck trotz der ringförmigen Einschnürung oder der ringförmig angeordneten Einkerbungen bis ans Filtermundstück herangeschoben werden kann. Diese Ausführungsform ermöglicht eine erhebliche Anpaßbarkeit bei der Selbstfertigung von Cigaretten, um beispielsweise einmal Cigaretten üblicher Rauchqualität und zum anderen solche leichterer Rauchqualität zu erhalten. So können beispielsweise kürzere formstabile Tabakpatronen, die auch aus einem leichteren Tabak hergestellt sein können, in die Cigarettenpapierhülse eingeführt werden, die den beweglichen oder verschiebbaren Filterpfropfen nur bis zur Einkerbung verschieben können. Der Verbraucher erhält somit eine selbstverfertigte leichte Cigarette, die wegen der verbliebenen Hohlkammer hinreichend Ventilationsluft erhält. Verwendet man dagegen eine um die Länge der Hohlkammer verlängerte formstabile Tabakpatrone, kann man bei der Selbstverfertigung von Cigaretten den bewegbaren weiteren Filterpfropfen über die aufweitbare Einkerbung hinaus in die an sich vorgesehene Hohlkammer hineinschieben und erhält eine weniger belüftete Standardcigarette. Je nach Dimensionierung der formstabilen Tabakpatrone, des verschiebbaren weiteren Filterpfropfens und der Hülsenlänge ist es auch möglich, den Filterpfropfen über die Einschnürung hinaus in Richtung auf das Filtermundstück zu bewegen und dennoch eine kleinere Hohlkammer zu belassen.In a further embodiment according to the invention, the constriction or the annularly arranged notch is designed in such a way that the displaceable filter plug can be pushed up to the filter mouthpiece under increased pressure despite the annular constriction or the annularly arranged notches. This embodiment enables considerable adaptability in the self-production of cigarettes, for example to obtain cigarettes of customary smoke quality on the one hand and those of lighter smoke quality on the other. For example, shorter dimensionally stable tobacco cartridges, which can also be made from a lighter tobacco, can be inserted into the cigarette paper tube, which can only move the movable or displaceable filter plug up to the notch. The consumer thus receives a self-made light cigarette, which receives sufficient ventilation air due to the remaining hollow chamber. If, on the other hand, you use a dimensionally stable tobacco cartridge that is extended by the length of the hollow chamber, you can push the movable additional filter plug beyond the expandable notch into the hollow chamber provided for yourself when producing cigarettes and get a less ventilated standard cigarette. Depending on the dimensioning of the dimensionally stable tobacco cartridge, the displaceable additional filter plug and the sleeve length, it is also possible to move the filter plug beyond the constriction in the direction of the filter mouthpiece and still leave a smaller hollow chamber.

Bei allen Ausführungsformen können das Cigarettenpapier bzw. das Mundstückumhüllungsblatt entweder nur im Bereich des Filtermundstückes oder nur im Hohlkammerbereich bzw. im Abstandsbereich zwischen Filtermundstück und Einschnürung oder in beiden Bereichen perforiert sein.In all embodiments, the cigarette paper or the mouthpiece wrapping sheet can be perforated either only in the area of the filter mouthpiece or only in the hollow chamber area or in the distance area between the filter mouthpiece and constriction or in both areas.

Die Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Papierhülsen erfolgt auf modernen Strangmaschinen, bei denen ein unendlicher Strang gebildet wird, bei dem nur ein Filterstab in doppelter Länge des den später das Filtermundstück bildende erste Filterpfropfen mit dem Hülsenpapier verleimt wird, während ein weiterer Filterstab, der später den weiteren Filterpfropfen bildet, unverleimt umhüllt wird. Nach entsprechender Trennung quer zur Achse des Stranges erhält man dann die mit einem verschiebbaren Filterpfropfen ausgestattete Cigarettenpapierhülse mit Filtermundstück. Durch entsprechende Einbringung der nicht verleimten Filterpfropfen lassen sich je nach Wunsch auch Cigarettenpapierhülsen mit Hohlkammerfilter herstellen.The paper sleeves according to the invention are produced on modern strand machines, in which an infinite strand is formed, in which only one filter rod, twice the length of the first filter plug, which later forms the filter mouthpiece, is glued to the sleeve paper, while another filter rod, which later becomes the further filter plug forms, is encased without glue. After appropriate separation across the axis of the strand, the cigarette paper tube with filter mouthpiece is fitted with a sliding filter plug. By appropriately inserting the non-glued filter plugs, cigarette paper sleeves with hollow chamber filters can also be produced as required.

Die Ausbildung des ersten Filterpfropfens und die des weiteren Filterpfropfens kann gleich oder verschieden sein; anstelle üblicher Celluloseacetatfilterpfropfen können auch anders ausgebildete Filterpfropfen beliebiger Konstruktion für den ersten und/oder weiteren Filterpfropfen vorgesehen werden.The design of the first filter plug and that of the further filter plug can be the same or different; Instead of conventional cellulose acetate filter plugs, differently designed filter plugs of any construction can also be provided for the first and / or further filter plugs.

Letztlich ist es auch möglich, mehrere verschiebbare weitere Filterpfropfen vorzusehen, beispielsweise einen in der Nähe des Filtermundstükkes, der die Hohlkammer bildet und einen weiteren, der am offenen Mundstück der Papierhülse angeordnet ist.Ultimately, it is also possible to provide several displaceable additional filter plugs, for example one in the vicinity of the filter mouthpiece, which forms the hollow chamber, and another one, which is arranged on the open mouthpiece of the paper sleeve.

Im folgenden soll die Erfindung anhand von Zeichnungen näher erläutert werden; es zeigen:

  • Figur 1 einen Schnitt durch eine Cigarettenpapierhülse mit Filtermundstück mit einem weiteren Filterpfropfen am Einfüllende der Papierhülse;
  • Figur 2 einen Schnitt durch eine Cigarettenpapierhülse mit Filtermundstück mit einem weiteren Filterpfropfen in geringem Abstand zum Filtermundstück.
  • Figur 3 einen Schnitt durch eine Cigarettenpapierhülse analog Figur 2 mit einer Einschnürung im näheren Bereich zum Filtermundstück.
  • Figur 4 eine schematische Darstellung der Herstellung von erfindungsgemäßen Cigarettenpapierhülsen.
In the following the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to drawings; show it:
  • 1 shows a section through a cigarette paper tube with a filter mouthpiece with a further filter plug at the filling end of the paper tube;
  • Figure 2 shows a section through a cigarette paper sleeve with filter mouthpiece with a further filter plug at a short distance from the filter mouthpiece.
  • 3 shows a section through a cigarette paper sleeve analogous to FIG. 2 with a constriction in the vicinity of the filter mouthpiece.
  • Figure 4 is a schematic representation of the manufacture of cigarette paper tubes according to the invention.

Die in Figur 1 gezeigte Cigarettenpapierhülse besteht aus einer üblichen Papierhülse 2, die auf bekannte Weise mit dem ersten Filterpfropfen 4 zu einem Filtermundstück durch eine Leimschicht 6 verbunden ist und von einem Mundstückumhüllungsblatt 8 umgeben ist. An dem dem Filtermundstück entgegengesetzten Ende der Cigarettenhülse befindet sich der verschiebbare weitere Filterpfropfen 10, der aus gleichem oder andersartigem Filtermaterial als das Filter 4 im Filtermundstück gefertigt sein kann.The cigarette paper tube shown in FIG. 1 consists of a conventional paper tube 2, which is connected in a known manner to the first filter plug 4 to form a filter mouthpiece by means of a glue layer 6 and by a mouthpiece cover lungsblatt 8 is surrounded. At the end of the cigarette sleeve opposite the filter mouthpiece there is the displaceable further filter plug 10, which can be made of the same or different filter material as the filter 4 in the filter mouthpiece.

Bei der in Figur 2 gezeigten Anordnung befindet sich der verschiebbare weitere Filterpfropfen 10 mit einem Abstand von etwa 2 bis 15 mm zum ersten Filterpfropfen 4 des Filtermundstücks und bildet somit eine Hohlkammer 12, die vorzugsweise durch Perforationen 14 Nebenluft zur Ventilation erhält.In the arrangement shown in FIG. 2, the displaceable further filter plug 10 is located at a distance of approximately 2 to 15 mm from the first filter plug 4 of the filter mouthpiece and thus forms a hollow chamber 12, which preferably receives secondary air for ventilation through perforations 14.

Bei der in Figur 3 gezeigten Ausführungsform ist die Papierhülse 2 mit einer hier übertrieben gezeigten Einkerbung 16 versehen. Diese kann als durchgehender Ring oder in Form von kleinen innerhalb der Hülse vorstehenden äußeren Einkerbungen ausgebildet sein und ermöglicht, daß der verschiebbare weitere Filterpfropfen 10 nicht ganz bis zu dem ersten Filterpfropfen 4 des Filtermunastückes verschiebbar ist, so daß eine kürzere formstabile Patrone P1 von der Hülse aufgenommen werden kann; hierbei ergibt sich eine Cigarette des leichten Typs durch vermehrte Ventilation in der Hohlkammer 12. Verwendet man dagegen eine längere Patrone P2, wird der verschiebbare Filterpfropfen 10 bei etwas verstärktem Druck unter Aufweitung der Einkerbung 16 je nach Dimensionierung entweder ganz an den Filterpfropfen 4 des Filtermundstückes herangeschoben oder ergibt unter Belassung eines Abstandes eine Hohlkammer 12, die je nach Dimensionierung der einzelnen Teile kleiner oder größer sein kann.In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the paper sleeve 2 is provided with a notch 16 shown exaggerated here. This can be designed as a continuous ring or in the form of small outer notches protruding inside the sleeve and enables the displaceable further filter plug 10 not to be completely displaceable up to the first filter plug 4 of the filter muna piece, so that a shorter dimensionally stable cartridge P 1 from the Sleeve can be included; this results in a cigarette of the light type due to increased ventilation in the hollow chamber 12. If, on the other hand, a longer cartridge P 2 is used, the displaceable filter plug 10 becomes either completely at the filter plug 4 of the filter mouthpiece, depending on the dimensioning, with expansion of the notch 16 pushed or leaves a hollow chamber 12, which may be smaller or larger, depending on the dimensions of the individual parts.

Die Einschnürung 16 ist nicht unbedingt erforderlich, um verschieden lange formstabile Tabakpatronen einzuführen; auch die in Figur 2 gezeigte Ausführungsform läßt sich mit kurzen oder langen Patronen befüllen, wobei die Tabakpatrone auch länger als der Aufnahmeraum der Hülse sein kann und der überstehende Rest einer überlangen Tabakpatrone vom Verbraucher abgeschnitten werden kann oder aber zur Gänze in eine entsprechend überlange Filterhülse eingebracht werden kann.The constriction 16 is not absolutely necessary in order to introduce tobacco cartridges of different lengths that are stable in shape; The embodiment shown in Figure 2 can also be filled with short or long cartridges, the tobacco cartridge can also be longer than the receiving space of the sleeve and the remaining portion of an overlong tobacco cartridge can be cut off by the consumer or can be inserted entirely into a correspondingly long filter sleeve can be.

Bei der in Figur 4 gezeigten Schemazeichnung ist die Herstellung einer Cigarettenpapierhülse gemäß Figur 1 dargestellt. In den Hülsenstrang werden Filterstäbe in doppelter Länge des späteren Filterpfropfens eingeleimt und mit dem meist überstehenden Mundstücksumhüllungsblatt, das ebenfalls doppelt so lang wie das der fertigen Cigarettenhülse ist, verleimt. In einem gewissen Abstand hierzu wird ein weiterer Filterstab in doppelter Länge des späteren weiteren Filterpfropfens 10 ohne Verleimung umhüllt, worauf dann an den senkrecht zur Achse des Hülsenstranges bei A sowohl der das spätere Mundstück bildende Bereich als auch der des verschiebbaren Filterpfropfens sich ergebende Bereich durchschnitten wird, wobei man einzelne fertige Cigarettenhülsen erhält.The schematic drawing shown in FIG. 4 shows the production of a cigarette paper tube according to FIG. 1. Filter rods are glued into the tube strand at twice the length of the subsequent filter plug and glued to the mostly protruding mouthpiece wrapping sheet, which is also twice as long as that of the finished cigarette tube. At a certain distance from this, a further filter rod is encased in double length of the subsequent further filter plug 10 without gluing, whereupon both the area forming the later mouthpiece and the area of the displaceable filter plug at A perpendicular to the axis of the sleeve strand are cut , whereby one obtains individual finished cigarette tubes.
