Rolling Papers
Rolling papers are the foundation of this category, so it is important to understand what separates a genuinely good paper from an average one.
Material Types
Wood pulp papers, the traditional option, are easy to handle and widely available. However, they burn faster and leave more ash. While they are suitable for beginners due to their forgiving nature, many move on once they try cleaner alternatives.
Rice papers sit at the opposite end of the spectrum. They are ultra-thin, slow-burning, and almost flavour-neutral. Elements is the brand most closely associated with rice papers. If your goal is to taste your tobacco without interference, this is a strong starting point.
Hemp papers fall somewhere in between and are often preferred by experienced users. RAW is the leading name here, offering unbleached papers with natural gum and no chlorine or chalk. Their Classic line is consistent and beginner-friendly. RAW Black, meanwhile, is an ultra-thin version designed for maximum flavour. OCB’s Organic Hemp range is also an excellent alternative and is often more cost-effective for regular use.
King Size vs Regular vs King Size Slim
Regular papers are the shortest option and are best suited for quick, personal use. In contrast, king-size papers are the most popular choice in the UK because they provide more space to work with and produce a longer-lasting smoke.
King-size slim papers are particularly worth considering. They maintain the same length as king-size papers but are narrower, resulting in a longer and slower burn. Overall, they offer a more refined smoking experience, and many users prefer them once they have tried them.
Flavoured Rolling Papers
Flavoured rolling papers have historically had a mixed reputation. In many cases, they were either too artificial or too subtle to notice. However, Juicy Jay’s has changed that perception.
They use triple-dipped, food-grade flavouring on hemp papers, resulting in a noticeable and consistent taste throughout the smoke. Importantly, the flavour in Juicy Jay’s papers is embedded throughout the paper itself, not just in the gum strip. As a result, the taste remains consistent from start to finish.
If you are new to flavoured papers, it is best to start with flavours that complement tobacco rather than overpower it. Blueberries and strawberries are good entry points, as they add a subtle sweetness. Vanilla is another reliable option for a smoother profile. More intense flavours such as chocolate and bubblegum tend to divide opinion. For that reason, it is sensible to try a single pack before committing to larger quantities.
Pre-Rolled Cones
If rolling has never felt natural to you, or if you simply prefer convenience, pre-rolled cones are an excellent alternative. In fact, they are not a compromise but rather a different format altogether.
A cone comes pre-shaped with a tip already in place. You simply fill it, twist the end, and it is ready to use. Additionally, the conical shape allows the smoke to build gradually, creating a different experience compared to a straight roll.
RAW Cones
RAW’s pre-rolled cones are widely considered the standard. Their Classic King Size cones are consistent, clean-burning, and made from natural unbleached paper. For larger sessions, RAW also offers a 109mm version with increased capacity.
Juicy Jay’s & Blazy Susan
Juicy Jay’s cones add flavour to the experience using the same triple-dipped method as their flat papers. Meanwhile, Blazy Susan’s pink cones stand out visually while still delivering a clean burn, thanks to their use of natural dyes and hemp paper.
How to Fill a Pre-Rolled Cone Properly
A common mistake is packing the cone too loosely. Instead, aim for an even and consistent density from top to bottom. You can use a packing tool or a pen to help distribute the material evenly. Additionally, tapping the cone gently on a flat surface while filling helps settle the contents. Once filled, twist the tip to close it.
Tips & Paper Combinations
Pre-Rolled Tips
A tip, also known as a crutch or filter tip, plays an important role in improving the smoking experience. It provides structure, prevents the end from collapsing, and stops tobacco from entering your mouth.
RAW’s pre-rolled tips are among the most popular options in the UK. They are made from unbleached card and come pre-shaped, making them easy to use immediately. Alternatively, flat card tips from brands like RAW and Rizla allow more control over size and tightness. Although they require a bit more effort, many experienced users prefer them for that reason.
It is also worth noting that tip size affects the draw. Wider tips allow easier airflow, while tighter tips create more resistance. Since experimenting is inexpensive, it is worth trying different styles to find your preference.
Rolling Papers with Tips
Rolling papers with tips in the same booklet offer a practical solution for convenience. For example, RAW’s Connoisseur range combines papers and tips in one compact format.
Similarly, OCB’s Ultimate Slim booklets include tips alongside ultra-thin rice papers, providing a clean and slow-burning experience.
These combinations are particularly useful for beginners, as they simplify the process and reduce the number of items needed.
Which Rolling Accessories Do You Actually Need?
- If you are new to rolling, start with RAW Classic king-size papers, pre-rolled tips, and a thumb roller. This setup is simple and affordable.
- If convenience is your priority, pre-rolled cones are the best option. RAW cones are reliable, while Juicy Jay’s cones add flavour.
- If flavour is important to you, Juicy Jay’s papers are the most consistent choice. Starting with milder flavours is recommended.
- If you value consistency and efficiency, an injector machine paired with tube papers provides a factory-like result.
