Otherwise the snoot tends to spill more. Try lining the inside of your Pringles tube with black construction paper and compare the effect.

I wanted to get a perfectly round pattern out of a cheap homemade snoot. I have been using the Strobist.com cardboard snoots and was planning on fabricating a cylindrical one, but this looks like a better solution! Plus you get Pringles! Can't beat that ;) Ah! just what I needed!
