Swan Liquorice Regular Rolling Papers - 50 Packs Full Box (Standard Size)

Swan & Rizla Liquorice – Full Product Description and Details

Swan Liquorice and Rizla Liquorice are the two most searched-for liquorice papers in the UK. The real buying decision is almost always between these two. Opening at that comparison point is the most honest and useful angle for someone already familiar with the category.

Between Swan Liquorice Rolling Papers and Rizla Liquorice, the difference that actually matters is weight. Swan sits in the medium-to-heavy range; Rizla Liquorice uses a lighter rice and flax blend. For rollers who find thin papers frustrating to work with, that extra body makes a real difference, especially if you roll by hand rather than with a machine. AJ Super Store stocks the full box of 50 booklets, which puts 2,500 papers in your hands for one purchase.

The full box is the sensible way to buy Swan Liquorice if you already know you like it. Fifty sealed booklets arrive in the branded Swan box, each booklet containing 50 leaves. The per-booklet cost drops considerably versus buying singles, and you are not opening a stack of loose packs. That sealed box also keeps the papers fresh and flat over time, which matters more than most people realise when you get toward the bottom of a batch.

What the Papers Actually Feel Like to Roll

Swan Liquorice papers are dark brown and visibly thicker than silver or green Rizla. When you pick one up, there is a firmness to it that thinner papers do not have. The cut corners make feeding into a rolling machine straightforward, and hand rollers find the paper holds its shape through the tuck without tearing at the gumline. The Arabic gum strip activates cleanly with minimal licking. Once sealed, the gum holds even with slightly damp fingers, which is a minor but genuinely useful detail on a rainy day.

The liquorice flavour on Swan papers sits closer to the gum line than it does through the body of the paper. You get a hint of it on your lips when you seal the roll, and a faint sweetness at the start of the burn that settles quickly into the tobacco rather than competing with it. It does not taste like a liquorice sweet. It is more of an aromatic edge that softens the initial draw slightly. Reviewers who switch from Rizla Liquorice consistently report Swan's liquorice character as slightly more pronounced, though still well short of dominant.

The Burn Rate and What It Means in Practice

Swan Liquorice Rolling Papers burn at an ultra-slow rate, confirmed by the manufacturer's own specification. The heavier paper weight contributes to this directly. For regular rollers, that slower burn typically means the cigarette does not race away between puffs, which reduces tobacco waste daily.

The cut corners are a small but practical design choice worth noting. They reduce the small fold of paper at the tip that can create uneven burning at the first light. In practice, the first draw on a Swan Liquorice roll is more consistent than on a square-cornered paper, where that folded corner sometimes causes a brief flare before the burn settles.

Swan Liquorice Against Rizla Liquorice: The Honest Comparison

Rizla Liquorice uses a rice and flax blend that keeps the paper lighter and thinner. For experienced rollers with tight technique, that lightness suits them. For anyone who struggles with thin papers tearing mid-roll or not holding the tuck, Swan's heavier weight is the practical advantage. The liquorice flavour is more prominent in Swan than in Rizla, and several real-world UK buyers describe Swan as their preference specifically because of that stronger hit. The honest trade-off is that Swan Liquorice is not widely stocked in high street shops, making the full box format at AJ Super Store the more reliable supply route.

Juicy Jay's Liquorice is the other alternative worth knowing about. Juicy Jay's delivers a much more intense liquorice flavour and is made from sugar cane paper rather than standard rolling paper materials. If you want the liquorice to be the dominant thing you taste, Juicy Jay's suits that. If you want a balanced roll where the flavour is secondary to the tobacco, Swan is the better choice.

Swan Liquorice Rolling Papers are standard/regular size, measuring 70mm by 36mm. Each booklet contains 50 leaves. The full box contains 50 booklets, giving a total of 2,500 individual papers. This is identical in dimension to Rizla Green and Rizla Liquorice standard papers, making them a direct substitute for rollers switching between brands.

Is a Full Box the Right Buy?

A full box of 50 booklets makes sense if you are a committed liquorice paper user rather than someone trying the format for the first time. If you have never used liquorice-flavoured papers before, a single booklet or a smaller quantity is the sensible start. The flavour element is genuinely not for everyone. Some rollers find any flavoured paper adds something they did not want to their tobacco; others buy liquorice papers specifically because of that quality. Trying one booklet before committing to 50 is honest advice.

That said, if you already use Swan Liquorice regularly, buying the full box from AJ Super Store removes the problem of intermittent availability. Liquorice papers are not carried by every shop, and running out mid-week when the local convenience store only carries Rizla Green is a common enough frustration for people who specifically want this format.

What to Know Before You Buy

Swan papers are designed for standard hand-rolling tobacco use. The 70mm by 36mm dimensions suit a regular-sized roll; they are not king size and will not produce a longer cigarette. Anyone used to king size papers who picks up Swan Liquorice standard by mistake will find the shorter length immediately. If you roll king size, Swan does not currently make a wide-format liquorice paper in the same way Rizla does with its king size liquorice variant, so this full box is only suitable for standard-length rolls.

Storage matters more with flavoured papers than with plain ones. The Arabic gum strip can become tacky if left somewhere warm, and the liquorice flavouring will fade if the box is stored somewhere dry and hot for several months. Keeping the sealed box in a cool, dry cupboard rather than a warm car or a shelf near a radiator preserves both the gum and the flavour for the duration of the supply.

The Honest Assessment

Swan Liquorice Rolling Papers Full Box suits one type of buyer well: the regular hand-roller who wants a thicker paper with a mild liquorice edge and needs a reliable bulk supply. It does not suit someone trying flavoured papers for the first time, someone who rolls king size, or someone who wants a lighter paper for tight machine rolls. 

If the full box is right for you, it works out as strong value and eliminates the availability headache that comes with stocking a less mainstream paper format. If you are still testing whether liquorice papers suit your roll, buy a single booklet first and step up to the box once you know.

FAQ

How many papers are in a Swan Liquorice Rolling Papers Full Box?

A full box contains 50 booklets, each with 50 leaves, giving 2,500 papers in total. The box arrives in the sealed branded Swan packaging, keeping all 50 booklets flat and fresh.

Are Swan Liquorice Rolling Papers thicker than Rizla Liquorice?

Yes. Swan Liquorice is a medium-to-heavy weight paper, while Rizla Liquorice uses a lighter rice and flax blend. In practice, Swan is easier to handle for rollers who find thin papers tricky, though it produces slightly more paper flavour in the burn compared to Rizla's lighter format.

What size are Swan Liquorice Rolling Papers?

Swan Liquorice Rolling Papers are standard/regular size, measuring 70mm by 36mm. They are not king size. Each booklet contains 50 leaves with cut corners and a natural Arabic gum strip.

Do Swan Liquorice Rolling Papers work with a rolling machine?

Yes. The cut corner design is specifically intended to help feed into a rolling machine smoothly. They also roll well by hand, and the heavier paper weight means they hold their shape through the tuck without tearing. Both approaches are confirmed by the manufacturer and consistent with buyer experience.

Is the liquorice flavour strong in Swan papers?

The liquorice flavour in Swan papers is mild and tobacco-forward rather than sweet-dominant. It is slightly more pronounced than Rizla Liquorice, particularly noticeable at the gum line when sealing and at the start of the burn. It does not taste like a liquorice sweet. If you want a much stronger liquorice flavour, Juicy Jay's Liquorice papers deliver that instead.

How do Swan Liquorice papers burn?

Swan Liquorice papers have an ultra-slow burn rate confirmed by the manufacturer's specification. The heavier paper weight contributes to this. The cut corners also reduce the uneven flare at the first light that square-cornered papers can cause, resulting in a more consistent burn from the start.

Can I buy Swan Liquorice Rolling Papers individually rather than a full box?

Swan Liquorice booklets are available individually from various UK retailers if you want to try before committing to a full box. For reliable and consistent supply of the full 50-booklet box, AJ Super Store stocks the complete sealed format ready for dispatch.

What is the difference between Swan Liquorice and Juicy Jay's Liquorice rolling papers?

Swan Liquorice is a standard brown rolling paper with a subtle liquorice note that complements rather than overpowers the tobacco. Juicy Jay's Liquorice is made from sugar cane paper and delivers a far more intense flavoured experience. Swan suits rollers who want balance; Juicy Jay's suits rollers who want the flavour to be the main event.

Are Swan Liquorice Rolling Papers suitable for herbal blends as well as tobacco?

Swan Liquorice papers work with any standard hand-rolling material including herbal blends, the same way any rolling paper would. The liquorice flavouring will add a mild aromatic note to herbal mixes in the same way it does with tobacco.
