Twist-in filter: For the perfect flavour of your home-rolled tobacco

Do you love the ritual of rolling your own cigarettes and the pure taste of your favourite tobacco? Then roll-in filters - the classic cigarette filters specially designed for rolling your own - are your indispensable accessory. They are the key to a noticeably milder, more pleasant smoking experience and ensure that no annoying tobacco crumbs spoil your moment. You'll find a huge selection in our range, with slim filters (6mm) having established themselves as the clear choice of most rollers. But whether you're following this trend or looking for something else, you'll find it here.

Why twist-in filters are a must for your cigarette

Sure, theoretically you can do without. But once you've used a good filter, you won't want to miss out on the benefits:

• ✅ Milder & more pleasant: the cellulose fibres absorb some of the condensates and make the smoke noticeably smoother - less scratchiness, more flavour.
• ✅ Clean enjoyment: No more tobacco crumbs in your mouth! The filter forms a reliable barrier.
• ✅ Stable shape: Your roll-your-own gets a firm end, fits better in your hand and is easier to enjoy to the end without going soft.
• ✅ Optimised draw: A good filter ensures an even burn and a pleasant draw resistance.

Find your perfect fit: the right size & length counts

Not every filter is the same. The choice of diameter and length has a significant influence on your rolling and smoking experience. We'll help you find the right variant for you:

The diameter: Slim (6mm) or Extra Slim?

The diameter of your filter determines the thickness of your cigarette and has a significant influence on tobacco consumption and draw:

• Slim filter (approx. 6mm): The undisputed favourite and modern standard. Ideal for elegant, slim cigarettes. You save tobacco compared to thicker formats and get a pleasantly balanced draw. Most filters in our shop, such as the popular OCB Slim or Gizeh Slim, have this diameter.
• Extra Slim / Super Slim filter (approx. 5.0 - 5.7 mm): The choice for those who like it particularly discreet. Perfect for very thin roll-ups and maximum tobacco-saving effect. The draw is somewhat firmer here. Take a look at the OCB X-PERT Extra-Slim or Elements Super Slim, for example.
• Regular filter (approx. 8mm): The classic diameter, known from many factory cigarettes.

It all depends on the length: Standard or XL?

In addition to the diameter, the filter length also plays a role:

• Standard length (approx. 15mm): The common compromise, fits most rollers and offers solid filter performance and handling.
• Long / XL filters (e.g. 19mm or more): Longer filters like the Gizeh Black XL Slim or OCB Long Slim offer a few interesting advantages: they give you more gripping surface when rolling (some find this easier, especially at first), the smoke travels a slightly longer distance (can be perceived as cooler) and the distance to the embers is greater.

Material & variants: More than just standard cigarette filters

While most roll-in filters are based on a tried and tested principle, there are exciting differences in the material and clever special solutions:

The standard: tried and tested cellulose filters

The majority of classic twist-in filters are made of cellulose fibres. This material reliably filters some of the unwanted substances from the smoke, is neutral in flavour and has proven itself millions of times over. These filters are often bleached (white) and have a fine paper coating that makes them easier to twist in. Examples are the standard series from OCB or Gizeh.

Natural & unbleached: the conscious choice

More and more turners are focussing on a more natural approach. Unbleached spin-on filters are the answer. They do without the bleaching process, which gives them their characteristic brownish colour. Many users appreciate this look and the good feeling of using a product without additional chemical treatment. Discover variants such as:

• OCB Virgin Slim Filter (unbleached & ultra-fine)
• OCB Organic Slim (made from organic hemp fibres)
• Gizeh Pure XL Slim Filter (unbleached, extra long)
• Smoking Brown Unbleached Slim

Speciality filters: innovative solutions for your enjoyment

Looking for that certain something? Our range also offers special twist-in filters that go beyond the standard:

• Activated charcoal spin-in filters: the Gizeh Slim filters with activated charcoal are an ingenious hybrid solution! They combine classic cellulose filtration with the additional pollutant binding of activated carbon granulate - all in a practical 6 mm slim format. Many people report an even milder and clearer flavour.
• Jilter filters: The Jilter spin-on filters are cleverly designed: they combine a short cellulose filter with a sturdy cardboard tube as a mouthpiece. This reduces the filter volume and at the same time ensures perfect hold and crumb protection.
• Rolls Smart Filter: The Rolls Smart Filter has a special inner construction with holes designed to swirl and cool the smoke before it reaches your lips. An innovative option for those who like to experiment.

Brand quality that impresses: from OCB to Zig Zag

In a nutshell: Which twist-in filter for you?

A clear distinction: spin-on filters vs. filter tips & activated carbon (sticks)

Just to clarify, to avoid confusion:

• Spin-on filters (this category): Consist mostly of cellulose, used to filter the smoke from roll-your-own tobacco cigarettes.
• Filter tips: Are usually made of cardboard, give joints & Blunts stability and serve as a mouthpiece, but have no filtering effect.
• Activated charcoal filters: Are thicker, filled with activated charcoal and primarily intended for joints to filter the smoke (exception: see Gizeh AKF-Slim above).
