Sixty 1 and Maiker
Sixty-One and Maiker are made in the Philippines and imported by Nationwide Tobacco. There have been numerous reports of the tube diameter being too small.

I ordered five boxes of Sixty 1 brand, 100mm tubes, from RYO Tobacco last week. $2.00 per box. The only problem is they won't fit on my Supermatic.

Yup...I have had the same problem. Those are bad tubes...stay away. They are just as likely to not fit the supermatic as they are to fit. Sucks you ordered 5 boxes! Sell them on ebay...I bet they fit those little handheld injectors....just not the supermatic.

You bring up an interesting thought. I've only used Zig-Zag and Premiers on my Supermatic. Everyone refers to them as Canadian size. I assume Silver Tips and Charbons (made in France) will fit a Supermatic. Could be that SYO tubes aren't actually Canadian size but non-US size since the US premades are smaller in diameter?

I don't think so. These almost fit, but not quite. I would say they are called Canadian size, because CTC is a canadian company and that's what size they decided to make them. All the other SYO tube makers probably followed suit.

Just on my vintage Premier Supermatic. They didn't fit there either.

They won't fit my Supermatic II, either.
