Rolling Paper Differences and Buying Guide
How to Roll a Joint – Beginner’s Guide
A thin, elongated piece of paper used to roll smoking materials for consumption, that's what rolling papers are. They are often used for rolling tobacco, shag, and of course cannabis or hash. Most papers have a glue strip so you can seal them after rolling.
Why use rolling papers? Because they allow you to easily smoke herbs, tobacco, cannabis, or hash anywhere you want. Plus, the paper burns well, so you don’t need to relight it with every puff.
The main benefits of using rolling papers are:
- More room for contents: You can fit more cannabis, hash, or a mix (for example with tobacco or other herbs) in one joint, resulting in longer sessions and less frequent rolling.
- Better airflow and burning: Thanks to the extra length, you can roll the joint more loosely and evenly, which provides smooth draws and consistent burning.
- Perfect for filters or tips: Long papers offer enough space to add firm filters or roaches without sacrificing too much content.
- Classic rolling papers: Bleached paper with a neutral taste. Easy to roll and widely available.
- Brown papers: Unbleached and natural paper. Slightly sturdier than bleached papers and gives a purer smoking experience.
- Clear papers: Made from transparent cellulose. Burns slowly and looks striking, but can be harder to roll with.
- Blunt wraps: Thick wraps made from hemp. Burns slowly and delivers a rich, sweet flavor. Ideal for large joints. Often available in various flavors.
- Flavored papers: Contain added aromas like fruit or vanilla. These add sweetness to the smoke but can sometimes overpower the flavor of the cannabis.
These are the most common paper sizes. Keep in mind that most brands vary slightly (a few millimeters) in their dimensions:
Common Rolling Paper Sizes
- Single Wide 70 x 36 mm – the smallest standard size, similar to a cigarette.
- 1 ¼ (One and a Quarter) 78 x 44 mm – slightly wider than Single Wide and popular for hand rolling.
- 1 ½ (One and a Half) 78 x 60 mm – same length as 1¼ but noticeably wider.
- Double Wide 78 x 88 mm – twice as wide as Single Wide, less commonly used.
- King Size 110 x 44 mm – a very popular size for longer joints.
- King Size Slim 110 x 36 mm – same length as King Size, but narrower for slimmer joints.
- Rolls (paper on a roll) 44 or 53 mm wide, up to 5 meters long – cut to your preferred length.
- XXL / Extra Long 125–150 x 44 mm – extra long papers, ideal for parties or special occasions.
The best rolling paper size for a joint depends on your personal preference and how much cannabis or hash you want to use at once. In general, long papers are used for joints, with a few popular variants:
King Size Papers
King Size is the classic go-to for rolling joints. These papers are about 110 mm long and offer enough space for a medium to large joint. Ideal if you mix with tobacco or share with others.
King Size Slim Papers
King Size Slim is also about 110 mm long, but noticeably narrower. This means you use less paper, which can result in a cleaner, less harsh smoking experience. Great for those who prefer tighter or smaller joints.
Rolling Paper Rolls
Rolling paper on a roll doesn’t come in pre-cut sheets but in a long roll of up to 5 meters. This allows you to choose exactly how long your joint will be. Great for experienced rollers or for making extra-long joints (for example, at parties). Simply cut or tear off the desired length.
Rolling papers are made from various natural materials. Each type of paper influences taste, burn behavior, and ease of use. The most common materials are:
Rice Paper
Rice paper is ultra-thin, burns slowly and evenly, and has little to no aftertaste. It’s popular among those who want the purest smoking experience. However, it can be a bit slippery and tricky to roll with.
Hemp
Paper made from industrial hemp fibers is an eco-friendly choice. It’s usually unbleached, light brown in color, and burns slowly. Hemp paper is known for its natural look and subtle taste.
Wood Pulp
Wood pulp papers are slightly thicker and therefore easier to roll, ideal for beginners. They burn a bit faster and can add a mild papery flavor. Many wood pulp papers are now FSC certified, meaning they come from responsibly managed forests.
Want to save money on papers? The best way is to buy a whole box of rolling papers at once. If you already know you'll go through 33 or 50 packs, it’s way more economical to order a full box. You'll save up to 40%, won’t run out anytime soon, can stash packs everywhere, and your friends will thank you. Plus, the box often has a cool design and actually looks great at home!
