Use fewer filters or remove all
Swan filter tips are pre-cut cigarette filters made by House of Swan, one of the longest-established British rolling accessory brands. This collection stocks the full size range – Ultra Slim, Extra Slim, Slim Pop-a-Tip and Slim Loose – sold as full boxes of 20 packs rather than single boxes, which is where the cost per tip drops sharply.
The only real decision here is diameter. Swan filter tips come in three widths, and the one you want depends on how thin you roll. Everything below is stated in millimetres so you can match it against what you already use.
Swan filter tips at a glance:
- Four Swan filter tip types stocked: Ultra Slim, Extra Slim, Menthol Extra Slim and Slim Pop-a-Tip
- Three diameters: 5.3mm Ultra Slim, around 5.7mm Extra Slim, 6mm Slim
- All Swan filters are 14mm long, supplied pre-cut in rods of six
- Sold as full boxes of 20 packs, from £12.59 to £13.59
- Between 2,040 and 2,520 tips per box, depending on size
- Cost works out from around 0.5p per filter tip
- Smoking accessories, sold to adults aged 18 and over only
Swan Filter Tip Sizes Explained: Ultra Slim, Extra Slim and Slim
The names describe diameter, not length. Every Swan filter tip is 14mm long; what changes between ranges is how wide the filter is. A narrower filter suits a thinner roll and uses less tobacco.
| Swan filter tip | Diameter | Per pack | Format | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra Slim | 5.3mm | 126 (21 rods of 6) | Pre-cut rods | The thinnest roll – narrowest filter Swan makes |
| Extra Slim | Around 5.7mm | 120 (20 rods of 6) | Pre-cut rods | The most widely used size – the default choice |
| Menthol Extra Slim | Around 5.7mm | 120 (20 rods of 6) | Pre-cut rods | Same size as Extra Slim, with a menthol element |
| Slim Pop-a-Tip | 6mm | 102 (17 rods of 6) | Pre-cut rods | A wider roll and an easier draw |
| Slim Loose | 6mm | Loose in the box | Not pre-cut | Anyone who prefers loose tips to rods |
Diameters are the manufacturer's published figures. Third-party listings occasionally quote slightly different numbers for the same product, so the House of Swan specification is the one to trust.

Which Swan Filter Tips Should You Buy?
The short answer: Extra Slim if you do not already have a preference, Ultra Slim if you roll thin, Slim if you roll wide.
If you are switching from another brand, match on diameter rather than on the name. "Slim" means different things across manufacturers, so 6mm from one brand is the same physical filter as 6mm from another regardless of what either calls it.
Choose Swan Ultra Slim if
- You roll thin cigarettes and want the filter to sit flush
- You want the lowest cost per tip – 2,520 per box is the highest count here
- You are used to 5mm-class filters from other brands
Choose Swan Extra Slim if
- You want the standard, most widely used size
- You are buying for someone else and do not know their preference
- You want the widest availability, since this is the line we stock deepest
Choose Swan Slim Pop-a-Tip if
- You roll wider and a 5mm-class filter feels too narrow
- You prefer a slightly easier draw
- You are replacing standard 6mm tips from another brand
What Are Swan Menthol Extra Slim Filter Tips?
Swan Menthol Extra Slim filter tips are the same 5.7mm, 14mm-long filter as the standard Extra Slim, with a menthol element built into the filter itself. The dimensions, the pack count of 120 and the rod-of-six format are identical – only the filter material differs.
They fit exactly the same roll as standard Extra Slim, so switching between the two needs no change to how you roll. At £12.99 for a box of 20 packs they are marginally cheaper than the standard Extra Slim box.
Pre-Cut Rods or Loose Swan Filter Tips?
Swan supplies filter tips two ways, and it changes how you handle them rather than how they perform.
How Much Do Swan Filter Tips Cost Per Tip?
This is the whole reason to buy by the box. A full box of 20 packs brings the cost per filter down to around half a penny.
| Box of 20 packs | Total tips | Box price | Per tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swan Ultra Slim 126 | 2,520 | £12.59 | ~0.50p |
| Swan Menthol Extra Slim 120 | 2,400 | £12.99 | ~0.54p |
| Swan Extra Slim 120 | 2,400 | £13.19 | ~0.55p |
| Swan Slim Pop-a-Tip 102 | 2,040 | £13.59 | ~0.67p |
Per-tip figures are calculated from the box price and the stated pack counts, and are rounded. Note that the Pop-a-Tip box costs the most while containing the fewest tips – that is simply because a 6mm filter is wider, so fewer fit in a pack.
About Swan Filter Tips
Swan is a British rolling accessory brand producing filter tips, rolling papers and combination packs. Its filters are pre-cut into rods of six and supplied in pocket-sized card boxes, a format the brand is closely associated with. Swan also produces an Eco Extra Slim biodegradable filter and combination packs pairing filters with papers, though those are not currently part of this collection.
Storing Swan filter tips
Keep boxes dry and out of direct sunlight. Filter tips are absorbent by design, so damp storage is the main thing that spoils them – a kitchen cupboard or drawer is fine, a windowsill or a damp garage is not. Unopened card packs stack well, which is part of why the 20-pack boxes are practical to keep on hand.

Swan Filter Tips FAQs
Swan filter tips come in three diameters, all 14mm long. Ultra Slim is 5.3mm, Extra Slim is around 5.7mm, and Slim Pop-a-Tip is 6mm. The name refers to width, not length.
Diameter and pack count. Ultra Slim is 5.3mm with 126 filters per pack; Extra Slim is around 5.7mm with 120 per pack. Ultra Slim is the narrower of the two and suits a thinner roll. Both are 14mm long and supplied in pre-cut rods of six.
It depends on the size. A full box of 20 packs holds 2,520 Ultra Slim tips, 2,400 Extra Slim or Menthol Extra Slim, or 2,040 Slim Pop-a-Tip. Individual packs hold 126, 120 and 102 respectively.
Most are. Ultra Slim, Extra Slim, Menthol Extra Slim and Slim Pop-a-Tip all come pre-cut in rods of six that snap apart. Swan Slim Loose is the exception, supplied as individual loose filters rather than rods.
Pop-a-Tip is Swan's pack format for its 6mm Slim filters, holding 102 tips in 17 rods of six. The name refers to the packaging rather than a different filter – the tips themselves are Swan's standard 6mm Slim size.
Considerably. A box of 20 packs brings the cost down to roughly 0.50p to 0.67p per filter depending on size, which is a fraction of single-pack pricing. Ultra Slim offers the lowest cost per tip of the boxes stocked here.
Yes. Filter tips are not brand-specific, so Swan tips work with Rizla, RAW or any other rolling paper. Match the filter diameter to how wide you roll rather than to the paper brand.
Somewhere dry and out of direct sunlight. Filters absorb moisture readily, so damp storage is what spoils them. A cupboard or drawer keeps unopened card packs in good condition indefinitely.
Smoking accessories are sold to adults aged 18 and over only.
