Filters for rollies

    I always try to but the Rizla Super-Slim filters. They are just simply the best. I cant be smoking with the fat ones...they're just wrong.

    The problem with the other brands is that they shrink in your smoke and leave you with almost no filter at the end. One of the biggest difficulties I find is that they often dont have them in shops when you go to ask for them...the always seem to be giving me the last two packets. Are all of you lot going in and buying 10 at a time or something? :p

    I bought some in my local shop today - 'Smoking' brand, in a silver box. They're bloody awful. the box is sealed with perforations that take some effort to open, the filters are stuck together in their little sleeve, and they shrink faster than anyother filter I've ever used. Steer clear.

    Rizla all the way...but I wish they'd boody stock up on them!

    (I know Rant and Rave that way---> :D)

    Rizla and Swan. Swan sometimes shrink, but they're not too bad. Smoking brand do excellent skins, but haven't tried their filters, though.

    Boys you's are too fussy.

    Skins now is a different matter, Has to be Rizzla Green.

    Which brand comes in a big yellow box? Not Swan. Some other brand. They're the only brand I avoid so far.

    That's probably bullbrand....

    I've never seen bullbrand...

    And why would you favour green rizla over red? Theres hardly enough difference for you in a situation to say:

    "Got any skins?"

    "Yeah, here..."

    "Oh, have you got green ones instead"

    Rizla do just fine for filters anyhow, don't see any reason to change to bullbrand. If they as good as Rizla then either will do. So long as they dont shrink!

    TBH I just go into a shop and ask for a box of tips and take what I'm handed.
    Bullbrand is most common though

    Got Bullbrand for the first time a few months ago in Wexford. Hadn't come across them in Dublin before, but then I've never asked for them specifically.
    They're far better than Rizla imo, although the box is so awkward.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,944 ✭✭✭Jay P


    I've only ever come across Swan and Rizzla, and I only got Swan once. It's Rizzla everywhere else.

    But the Swan filters were awful, they all shrunk considerably. Bad job.
