Why rolling tobacco needs an add-on filter
Many hand-rolled cigarettes use a simple paper tip that does little filtering. An add-on cigarette filter adds a real filtration stage that traps tar and condensate, and gives a firmer mouthpiece for a cleaner draw.
What size fits hand-rolled cigarettes?
Standard hand-rolled cigarettes pair with 8mm filters; thinner rolls use 6mm. If you switch between formats, choose a brand with adapters. Full sizing help is in our how to choose guide.
