Papirosa
A papirosa (, plural: papirosy) is an implement for tobacco smoking, a variant of cigarettess. It consists of a hollow cardboard tube extended by a thin paper tube filled with tobacco. The cardboard tube acts as a cigarette holder and is called in Russian as such: , from German Mund+Stück, literally, "mouthpiece" 

Vasmer's Etymological Dictionary claims that the word is borrowed from Polish papieros for "cigarette", where it is a portmanteau word "papier-" ("paper") + "-ros", the tail of "cigarros". The inner end of the mouthpiece is cut into dents which are bent to keep tobacco from travelling into the mouth. Modern papirosy can also contain a filter inside the mouthpiece. The two paper tubes: the mouthpiece and the tube for tobacco are called together "(papirosa) sleeve" (). Papirosa sleeves may be sold separately to be filled by tobacco of choice using a special device called "stuffing machine" (); it may also be used for stuffing any kind of cigarette tubes. While smoking, the mouthpiece is usually compressed to create two separate perpendicular flat surfaces, with one of them going into the mouth. Papirosy was a unique Russian form of cigarettes invented in the 19th century. By 1914, 49,5% of all tobacco products produced in Russia was papirosy. It is claimed that Joseph Stalin's favorite tobacco to stuff his  pipe was from  papirosy. It is possible that this is just a legend: the pipe requires a large cut of tobaco, otherwise it burns quickly. Film chronicles show that Stalin smoked cigarettes in a usual way.
