I think they are mainly built as pillbox stars, which allows the use of a nozzle to cool the smoke down and reduce the amount of flames, however it is a very time consuming method, and it also increases the fallout. A shell full of those will take you a long time tube rolling and pressing!
Could be worth trying a normal star rolling or pressing technique by adding a binder, but I think the flame suppression of the tube and choke is needed to prevent the dye being consumed in the flame.
You can never have a long enough fuse...
