Papirosa tubes[1] are Russian old style cigarette tubes[2] that have existed for more than 170 years (since the 1840s). The history of papirosa tubes originates in Russia, because papirosy were invented there. By 1860, papirosy and papirosa cigarette tubes were made at 551 enterprises in Russia, and everywhere by hand, until the Russian engineer Ivan Semenov[3] invented the papirosy tobacco-stuffing machine and improved the papirosa tubes machine. The so-called “Mendelssohn seam” was invented at about the same time - by the name of the inventor. The edges of the finest tissue paper are connected by mechanical pressing with special gear wheels. This is no-glue technology. The papirosa smoking tubes[4] machines invented by Semenov gained great fame both in Russia and abroad. In 1906, the Machine-Building Plant expanded significantly - a four-story building was built, new machines were purchased, a large technical bureau was established, which employed 6 engineers and 10 technologists. Three years later, the plant began producing lathes of the latest systems and automatic scales for weighing bulk materials. A third of the products manufactured by the Semenovtsi went for export; the rest went to Russian tobacco and tea factories. In pre-revolutionary Russia, the plant on Pesochnaya Street in St. Petersburg, where Semenov was working, is almost the only precision engineering enterprise that worked to a large extent on the foreign market. Almost all the countries of Europe, as well as the USA, Argentina, Japan purchased Semenov machines. The same technology was used in manufacturing Russian and Soviet papirosa cigarette tubes and papirosy such as world famous Gerzegovina-Flor, Belomorkanal, Salve and other. (In the end of the XIX – beginning of the XX century's papirosy were very popular in Europe and America).Russian papirosy and papirosa tubes in the early twentieth century were buying around the world. Papirosa cigarette tubes were smoked by the charming beauties of Paris. Papirosy and papirosa cigarette tubes are produced in Russia till now. Interestingly, until the 1970s, smoking tubes filled with hemp were sold in Soviet pharmacies as a remedy for asthma and tuberculosis.
A papirosa cigarette tubes actually consist of two pre rolled tubes[5] inserted one into the other: one tube, is called a shirt, is made of tissue rolling paper[6] and crushed tobacco is poured into it, and the second is made of thicker paper and has several functions - it allows you to hold the papirosa tube in your hands, prevents tobacco from getting into your mouth, and most importantly - is a mouthpiece of papirosa cigarette tubes that cools smoke well and retains a large amount of harmful substances and tar on its walls.
The free space from the mouthpiece of papirosa cigarette tubes where the tobacco is placed is called the “curka”. To prevent tobacco from getting inside the mouthpiece, 6 notches (teeth) bent inside the mouthpiece of papirosa tubes are made on its edge facing the curka.
It is generally accepted that the main difference between papirosy and cigarettes is the absence of a filter and paper structure, but there are papirosy and papirosa cigarette tubes with a filter. But about the structure of the paper - the true truth: cigarette paper smolders, and papirosa paper - slowly burns. But cigarettes have no attached mouthpiece.
In addition, the sequence of manufacture of papirosy and cigarettes is different: in the case of papirosy a papirosa cigarette tubes are made, and tobacco is placed in them, in the case of cigarettes the “tobacco stick” is wrapped with paper. The seam of the papirosa cigarette tubes is clamped “into the lock” and never glued, but the seam of ordinary cigarette tubes is glued. Paper of regular cigarette tubes is impregnated with special compounds that, among other things, give it a white color. Tissue paper of papirosa tubes is never impregnated, it remains transparent, and papirosa lovers claim that they are much preferable to cigarettes, as they have no “chemical aftertaste”.
