Rolling Papers

Rolling Papers: a quick guide

Which size? 1¼ (about 78 mm) is the everyday size: easy to roll and right for one person. 1½ (Big Bambu, RAW Organic 1½) is a little wider for a fuller roll. King size slim (about 110 mm) is longer for sharing, and the slim width keeps the burn even. King size wide and double wide (E-Z Wider) are for bigger rolls and take more practice.

Which paper? Unbleached papers like RAW Classic are light brown, burn slowly and evenly, and are the most popular. Rice papers like Elements are very thin with almost no taste. Black papers like RAW Black are ultra-thin for the cleanest taste. Flavored papers like Juicy Jay's carry the flavor in the paper itself. Colored papers like Blazy Susan Pink are about the look; they roll like any other.

Tips. A tip (or filter) keeps the end firm and your fingers clear. Some booklets include them, like RAW Classic King Size Slim with pre-rolled tips. Otherwise, grab a pack from Tips & Filters.

Rather not roll? Pre-rolled cones are the same papers already shaped, with the tip in. See the Cones shelf.
