How to Choose Rolling Papers: Size, Material, and Style
Rolling papers look like a simple choice until you’re standing in front of a dozen brands and sizes. Here’s what the differences actually mean for how a paper burns and rolls.
Size: Single Wide, 1¼, or King Size
Single wide papers are the smallest and hold the least, 1¼ size (like RAW – Classic Rolling Papers) is the most common all-purpose size, and king size papers hold significantly more for a longer, slower-burning roll shared between more people.
Material: Hemp, Rice, or Wood Pulp
Hemp papers tend to burn a bit slower and hold together well even when rolled loosely, rice papers are thinner and closer to flavorless, and wood pulp papers like OCB Slim Papers sit in between on both thickness and burn rate. None is objectively best; it’s a matter of how much paper taste you’re willing to notice.
Pre-Rolled Cones vs. Rolling Your Own
If rolling isn’t a skill you’ve built yet, pre-rolled cones like RAW – Classic Pre-Rolled Cones come pre-shaped and just need to be packed, which avoids the uneven burn that comes with a loose or lopsided hand roll.
A Rolling Tray Makes Everything Easier
A flat tray like RAW Tray Round keeps ground flower contained while you roll instead of losing it across the table, and it’s worth having whether you’re rolling your own papers or just packing cones.
