White papers usually emit less paper taste and a cleaner smoke than brown papers - this is because the whitening process removes lignins. As for the appearance, tan is significantly darker toned paper than white. When customized, this color variation allows both pre-roll cone styles to compliment certain printed colors and designs. As for the Hemp grade papers, smokability is definitely superior, as per the feedback of our customers hemp papers are the best tasting and burn most evenly when compared to the white & tan papers. However, for making custom tips, this is the least preferred choice as the opacity of these papers is far more than the other two paper grades.
