About Tubing Tobacco

Tubing tobacco is a loose-leaf tobacco with a fine, consistent cut designed for use with a cigarette tubing machine or roller. While you can use this tobacco to make hand-rolled cigarettes, it’s best suited for tubing. This simple process involves the use of a machine to insert the loose tobacco into a pre-made cigarette tube consisting of paper and a filter. The result is a cigarette that’s fresher and more cost-effective than manufactured cigarettes. This tobacco also allows you to customise your cigarettes according to your preferred aroma, flavour profile and strength.
We’ve sourced our cigarette tubing tobacco products from some of the most renowned manufacturers in the UK and further afield, ensuring that you can expect a quality smoke each and every time. Find the best tubing cigarette tobacco from Amsterdamer, Ashford, Auld Kendal, JPS Players, Pueblo, and other beloved brands right here at the Black Swan Shoppe.
Tubing cigarette tobacco is slowly growing in popularity as an alternative to manufactured cigarettes and among smokers who find hand rolling cigarettes a little too tricky or time-consuming. We stock better-known varieties such as Natural American Spirit and Brookfield, as well as blends that offer a range of aromas, flavours, and textures. Some of our most popular tubing tobacco options include:

Volume

Volume tubing cigarette tobacco offers a freer burn, although the flavour is less intense than other tobaccos for tubing. This option has been expanded to increase physical volume without making it heavier. Volume tobacco’s different texture ensures easy tubing and rolling. This option is ideal if you’re looking for tubing cigarette tobacco that allows you to use a little less than you would with other tobaccos but without compromising on the bulk you’re used to.

Additive Free

Additive free tubing tobacco is ideal if you’re looking for a cleaner smoke and purity of flavour. This popular tobacco for tubing hasn’t been treated with humectants, pesticides, preservatives, or other additives. It’s known for retaining the rich flavour and aroma of harvested and cured premium tobacco.

How to Use Tubing Tobacco

If you’re new to tubing tobacco, you might be wondering how to use it. While the tubing process is simple, you will need to follow the right steps while using the right accessories, including a cigarette tube machine and empty pre-rolled cigarette tubes.
Once you’ve assembled your tubing cigarette tobacco and tools, place a small amount of tobacco into the tubing machine’s tobacco chamber. Next, attach an empty cigarette tube to the machine. Push or slide the lever to fill the tube with the tobacco. Tap the tube gently to ensure the cigarette is packed evenly and ready for smoking before removing it.
Whether you’re looking for an easier alternative to hand rolling your own cigarettes or to take your smoking experience to new heights with an option that offers more customisation, we’ve got you covered. Find premium quality tubing tobacco and accessories at the Black Swan Shoppe.

Tubing Cigarette Tobacco FAQs

What’s the difference between tubing tobacco and rolling tobacco?

Tubing cigarette tobacco has a finer, more consistent cut than rolling tobacco. This cut makes it easier to insert the tobacco into cigarette tubes when using a tubing machine, and it ensures a more even burn.

Can I use tubing tobacco for hand rolling cigarettes?

You can hand-roll cigarettes using tubing tobacco, but you might find the process a little more challenging than when using rolling tobacco. The rougher texture of hand-rolling tobacco makes it easier to handle than tobacco designed for tubing.

How should I store tubing cigarette tobacco?

It’s best to store your tubing cigarette tobacco in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Add a humidity control element, such as a humidifying stone, to maintain the right moisture level.
