Rossi 6mm Filter Fitment

[InWithBothFeet]

Hey, I'm looking at a Rossi estate nose warmer that is a 6mm filter pipe. Anyone know how generous these are bored for filters? I'd like to buy a filter that will fit snugly like my vauen filters fit my vauen pipes and not require tape like they do in my Peterson.

Mucho thanko...

Isn't rossi pretty much the same as Savinelli, just slightly lower end version (supposedly)? If so, I use 6mm charcoal savinelli filters in my savinelli pipes and they fit perfectly. Not that pricey - worth a try for the Rossi.

On the way... still need to find those savinelli filters. They were out of the small package, didn't want to spend $35 on the 100ct.

You can always try it without a filter.

It's not the end of the world if a filter fits a little loosely to start, either. Some of them swell with moisture.

I probably will, thought about buying the adapter but I'm stubborn.

I've used the Dr Perl 6 mm charcoal filters in my cobs and Savinelli, and they do fit tightly. The balsa sticks are good for absorbing moisture. I mostly use paper filters, though.

I like the Dr Perl 6mm filters for the fit and draw. I prefer them over Savinelli balsa - charcoal filters, and White Elephant 6mm filters.

Got it in today and I really like it. I bought White Elephant filters and they fit nice and snug. No problems with them being too long. The draw seems to be a little more restrictive than the 9mm filters, but it wasn't a problem, it was a nice smoke with Cult BRM. This seems to have a very deep bowl, but it fits my hand well. Half bowls I think will be the standard.
