I was reading about these tubes on RYO mag [link] and it said that they had been discontinued, but "Keep in mind that there are still Excel tubes currently available in inventory, but they won't last much longer." I don't know how long ago that was written, though the posts about them here are ancient. I would like to try a filterless tube, but the Athey sounds like the paper is thicker than I would prefer, so I would like to find some Excel tubes. Does anyone know if anybody still has any of these in their inventory, or are they long gone?

Excel Filter-less
Posted by Tim Aydt on Tuesday, 27-Apr-2004

Made by CTC, these tubes come in a box of 500 for under $3.00. These cheap looking tubes, stamped right in the middle with the green Excel logo, seem to impart no flavor to your smoke. I was surprised at how mild a blend, I normally smoke in a light tube, could be in a filter-less tube. I really expected to begin coughing and turn green before I could finish one. Yet, even one stuffed only with Drum, made a pleasant smoke.
