Imperator200 Black Paper Filter Tubes with 20mm Carbon Filters

To be clear, the paper to these tubes isn't clove flavored, they're just *REALLY* smooth and lack the burnt paper taste I'm used to with Gambler tubes. I'm looking into blending cloves and tobacco in an herb grinder to see if it replicates those tasty treats, but I digress, that's not related to the post.The color of the tube is great, it reminds me of clove ciggies before they were clove filtered cigars. I like the look and this further confirms my theory that everything looks cooler in black. The filter is carbon-based, so, if you've an allergy to fiberglass this'd be a good substitute. The taste it intermingles with the tobacco is subtle, but there, a bit of sweetness to replace that acrid burnt paper taste of cheaper brands the filter is long enough to be effective, but not too long as to reduce the quality of the smoke. I've loaded 12 of them with my Topmaster deluxe roller and only had 2 casualties that was more operator error than tube failure. All in all, I am glad I bought these and even went so far as to set up a subscription. 50 out of 10 buy these and buy 'em again.

I love the way this smokes as far as the pull on the cigarette and the taste. The packaging was pretty good and item was delivered in 4 days instead of 2, which I am pleased to receive. The cons to this beautiful black tube is the paper is too short for both of my king rollers. Both rollers tear the end of the cigarette once you push the lever to fill the tube. After pulling the lever back I dis*covered the end near the filter was empty. Yes, thru a lot trouble shooting to figure out just how much tobacco to put where in the roller...it worked better with less tobacco, more to the middle and back of slider than the front...even with all that work it still did not create a cigarette every time that was filled or w/o a tear. Above all, too messy with tobacco falling out the whole time of ANY handling. Knot willing to purchase again for the price...going back to Zen. I normally smoke 100's and RYO cigarettes has not yet given me that satisfaction (being new @ this 1 month ) sooo added trouble I do not choose to pay more for. The idea is to save money while trying to deal with addiction smoking cigarettes. This RYO is indeed causing a certain lack of confidence in my discipline that I am becoming more conscious of. Thanx fore that!

Good packaging, nothing damaged for such a fragile product. The papers pure evenly and very well without any extra flavor noted. The filter is unnoticeably two parts, half “normal” filter and half speckled with carbon or charcoal like the way parliament used to do their filters (but this is not a recessed filter). Works very well with tube filling machines and set on low filling setting. So far so good, recommend them.

The carbon filter provides a really smooth draw & taste, the paper has zero aftertaste or interference, plus the all black just looks badass elegant. But I’m using a Powermatic 2 injector and they don’t hold up as well as other brand tubes. Specifically they don’t fit as well (wee bit too small), they tear & split easier, and they are so fragile it’s hard to not lose 2 out of every 5. But they definitely are tasty so give them a try if you’re up for a little crankiness with your rolling.

Paper is very thin and tends to rip, if able to make some then it isnt too bad. Real pain though to get some made nice.

These filters are fantastic, but there have been some changes and now the paper on the filter comes off very easily. Not a big deal, but worth noting. The older style with the thin golden band seemed to be of a higher quality than the current production run with a thick golden band. They do look fancy, which is nice I suppose. There aren't any other carbon filtered cigarette tubes on the market, and that is worth it to me. For what it's worth I use fairly dry unflavored pipe tobacco and really enjoy the smoke. My manual cigarette packer can be picky with these tubes. The paper is very thin, which leads to tearing if you over pack the cigarette, which is easy to do. I always err a bit on the side of "less is more." I would leave a 4.5 star review if possible.

These are very poor quality. The paper rips super easy and they came already falling apart. They also arrived all squished and flat. It also burns very fast. I would give it 0 stars if I could. I purchased some cheaper with a lot better quality.

The media could not be loaded. Carbon Filter black cigerrette tubes. Using with automatic rolling/stuffing machine. Was shipped in protective outer box so no damaged tubes. Very smooth and high quality.
