Rolling material choice is important to the smoking experience. You’ll want the correct size and material of paper for the amount of weed you want to roll and the number of people in your smoking circle.
Here are types of papers used for each:
Joint: singles, 1 ¼, 1½, wide, king, slims or thins, cones
Spliffs: 1½, wide, king, cones (often larger than joints because of tobacco)
Blunts: Wraps, cut-open cigars
If smoking by yourself or with a friend, a single or 1 ¼ may be fine. If smoking with a big group, you may want some king size papers.
Different thicknesses will also affect your smoking experience—thick papers tend to burn slower than thin papers, but you won’t taste the paper as much with thins.
Both rolling papers and blunt wraps can be flavored, but they aren’t for everyone. Some smokers think flavored papers meddle with the flavors and aromas of cannabis, while others are loyal to specific brands because of their distinct flavor additives, something more common among blunt aficionados.
Consumers also choose papers based on rolling ease and functionality. The best papers don’t tear, seal easily, handle well between the fingers, and burn uniformly. Nobody likes a joint that runs, or burns lengthwise along one side. Some papers even have corners cut off for easy rolling.
