     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     (1) Field of the Invention 
     The disclosure relates to rolling paper devices and more particularly pertains to a new rolling paper device for rolling a cigarette. 
     (2) Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98 
     The prior art relates to rolling paper devices. The prior art discloses a cylinder defining a cigarette and a filter that includes a heat activated element for releasing a flavor into smoke produced by combustion. The prior art discloses an electronic cigarette that includes a high heat element and a low heat element. The prior art also discloses a cigarette that includes a combustible material which surrounds a portion of tobacco for providing a smoke with the taste of tobacco without smoking the tobacco. Additionally, the prior art discloses a plurality of frusto-conical tubes for containing a smoking material. 
     BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a rolling paper for rolling into a cigarette for smoking. The rolling paper is pre-formed into a conical shape having a narrow end that has a diameter is less than a wide end. Moreover, the rolling paper is rollable into a cone of a pre-determined diameter for having smoking material placed therein. The wide end of is inhaled through by a user and the narrow end is ignited for smoking. A filter is insertable into the wide end when the smoking material is positioned in the cone defined by the rolling paper. The filter has an air aperture extending therethrough to be inhaled through by the user for smoking the smoking material in the rolling paper. 
     There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto. 
     The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. 
    
    
     
       BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING(S)

         FIG.  1    is a perspective view of a conical rolling paper assembly according to an embodiment of the disclosure showing a rolling paper in pre-formed conical shape. 
         FIG.  2    is a perspective view of an embodiment of the disclosure showing a rolling paper rolled into a cone containing smoking material. 
         FIG.  3    is a perspective view of an embodiment of the disclosure showing a filter having been inserted into a rolling paper. 
         FIG.  4    is a cross sectional view taken along line  4 - 4  of  FIG.  3    of an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     
    
    
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to  FIGS.  1  through  4    thereof, a new rolling paper device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral  10  will be described. 
     As best illustrated in  FIGS.  1  through  4   , the conical rolling paper assembly  10  generally comprises a rolling paper  12  that is comprised of a combustible material for rolling into a cigarette for smoking. The rolling paper  12  is pre-formed into a conical shape that has a narrow end  14  which has a diameter that is less than a wide end  16 . Moreover, the rolling paper  12  is rollable into a cone  18  of a pre-determined diameter thereby facilitating a pre-determined amount of smoking material  20 , such as tobacco, cannabis or other plant, to be placed therein. The wide end  16  of is inhaled through by a user and the narrow end  14  is ignited for smoking. The rolling paper  12  may be comprised of hemp paper or other organic material for enhancing smoothness of the cigarette with respect to inhaling smoke. Additionally, the rolling paper  12  may have a water activated adhesive strip  22  that extends along a perimeter edge  24  of the rolling paper  12  for retaining the rolling paper  12  in the cone  18 . 
     A filter  26  is provided and the filter  26  insertable into the wide end  16  when the smoking material  20  is positioned in the cone  18  defined by the rolling paper  12 . The filter  26  has an air aperture  28  extending therethrough to be inhaled through by the user for smoking the smoking material  20  in the rolling paper  12 . The filter  26  has a first end  30 , a second end  32  and an outer wall  34  extending therebetween. The outer wall  34  has a first portion  36  extending from the first end  30  toward the second end  32 . Additionally, the first portion  36  flares outwardly such that the first portion  36  conforms to an inner surface  38  of the cone  18  formed by the rolling paper  12  when the filter  26  is inserted into the wide end  16 . In this way the filter  26  enhances combustion of the smoking material  20  by inhibiting air from passing between the filter  26  and the rolling paper  12 . 
     The outer wall  34  has a second portion  40  extending between the first portion  36  and the second end  32 . The second portion  40  tapers to a diameter that is less than the diameter of the first portion  36  thereby defining a mouthpiece  42  on the filter  26 . Thus, the mouthpiece  42  can be sucked on the by user for smoking. The air aperture  28  extends through the first end  30  and the second end  32 , and the filter  26  may be comprised of a heat resistant material. 
     In use, the rolling paper  12  is rolled into the cone  18  of the desired size around a pre-determined amount of the smoking material  20 . The first end  30  of the filter  26  is inserted into the wide end  16  of the cone  18  such that the rolling paper  12  is wrapped around the first portion  36  of the filter  26 . The narrow end  14  of the cone  18  is ignited and the filter  26  is inhaled through for smoking the smoking material  20 . In this way the traditional method of inhaling through a narrow end of a cigarette and igniting a wide end of the cigarette is reversed. Reversing the direction of air flow through the cone  18  facilitates a greater amount of resin, produced by combustion, to be mixed with the remaining smoking material  20  thereby enhancing the smoking experience. 
     With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
