They pack them tight and most cigarettes are doused in chemical accelerants and shit, to make them burn super fast.

I'd say. I bet there's been a shitload of research and testing done (and probably continues to) to get it right. I think it mostly has to do with the moisture content, the density of the tobacco and the amount of air/space between the shreds.

Strange. I see them and they perfectly form a cinder ring that burns almost completely evenly. It seems unreal. When I roll my own they burn unevenly in a natural kind of way. I look at cigarettes and wonder "what the hell is in those things? That's not natural". It's a perfect circle that burns completely even, even if you light it on an angle. I don't get it.

If youre comparing it to the way herb burns you've gotta keep in mind that tobacco is a leaf rather than a bud. It's much more consistent.

I can roll joints to burn just like cigarettes.

This.
It's all about moisture content and how well you bust it.
And then not rolling too tight.

Ya if I roll a J around a pen, I can make it burn pretty much perfectly. Free hand though, no way. They use machines to roll cigarettes - they're the same/perfect every time.

I use nothing but my fingers. When I'm done I do jam a filter in the end for stability though.

I don't know what you are talking about. I've bought packs of cigarettes that sometimes didn't burn very evenly and I can handroll both tobacco and weed to burn very evenly. Its not that hard, if you can't roll a joint/cig that burns evenly you just need more practice!

Sometimes I like to stick black and mild tips on the ends to make them look cool.
