A cigarette-style (cylindrical) paper is what is commonly used in the tobacco industry and is currently making a wave in the smokable hemp industry. These are made with relatively thicker papers (commonly with a filter) and are stuffed with shredded hemp material including stems, seeds, and leaves. The thick papers that are used in cigarette-style hemp pre-rolls produce a heavier/thicker smoke, which when ignited, smells very similar to a tobacco cigarette.
A pre-roll, or pre-rolled cone, is a conical (cone-shaped) paper, filled with hemp. On the skinny end of the cone, pre-rolls usually contain a crutch (mouthpiece) made from cardboard or other materials. Glass, wood, metal are frequently found in more expensive products.
Most pre-rolls come un-filtered, enabling the consumer to experience the full flavor and benefits of the compounds contained in the plant. Pre-rolls also use a MUCH thinner paper – about one-half or one-third the thickness of a cigarette paper, meaning you are inhaling much more of what’s on the inside, rather than the paper itself. This results in a much smoother flavor and less inhalation of combusted paper.
The main reason to choose a pre-rolled cone over a cigarette-style is the manufacturing process and the material that goes inside. Because tobacco cigarettes are made with shredded tobacco and leaves, that means that when producing a cigarette with hemp, it must be in the same condition. Because hemp flower cannot be shredded and it must be ground, this means that a vast majority of hemp cigarette manufacturers are using low quality hemp material (leaves, stems, seeds) to create an optimal pack. There are also many hemp cigarette companies that are using left-over hemp waste that has already been extracted for all of its precious compounds. This is why you can find multi-packs of hemp cigarettes on the market for extremely cheap. We invite you to tear open a hemp cigarette and witness the lower quality material inside.
