At Cannabuds Dispensary, we know that rolling isn’t just about technique—it’s about the whole experience. The type of paper or wrap you use can totally change how your joint burns, how it tastes, and even how high you get. If you want to up your game, here’s the lowdown on the 10 best types of rolling papers, blunt wraps, and leaf options.
1. Hemp Rolling Papers
Hemp papers are a go-to for stoners who like to keep things natural. They’re made from the same plant as your bud, so they give you a smooth, earthy hit that complements your weed. Plus, they burn nice and slow, so you’re not racing to keep up with your joint.
Now, here’s the thing: hemp papers are super durable. If you’re rolling with some sticky, dank bud, they won’t tear or crumple as easily as thinner papers. And if you’re into rolling fat ones, these papers hold their shape like a champ.
2. Rice Rolling Papers
Rice papers are all about that clean, smooth burn. They’re super thin—almost see-through—and because they’re so neutral in flavor, you get to taste every note of your weed. But, they can be a bit tricky for beginners since they’re a little more delicate than hemp or wood pulp papers.
The trick with rice papers is that they don’t play well with moisture. If it’s too humid, they get all soggy and hard to work with. Some seasoned rollers swear by keeping their rice papers stored in a dry spot—maybe even in a glass jar with the bud. That way, you’re always rolling with fresh, crisp papers that burn slow and steady.
3. Flavored Rolling Papers
Flavored papers can be a lot of fun, especially if you’re looking to add a little twist to your session. Whether you’re into fruity vibes like mango or something more dessert-like, these papers give your joint a sweet kick. Perfect for masking the taste of some rougher weed or just adding something extra to your smoke.
What you might not know: a light touch is key here. Some flavored papers can overpower the taste of your weed if you’re not careful. If you’re rolling something fire, use a thinner flavored paper so you don’t lose all the good flavors from your bud. Just a little tip from those who’ve been around the block.
4. Wood Pulp Papers
These are your old-school, reliable rolling papers. Wood pulp papers are thicker than hemp or rice, which makes them super easy to roll with, even if you’re a newbie. They also burn a little faster, so they’re perfect if you’re in the mood for a quick smoke without needing a slow-burner.
Seasoned smokers tend to keep a pack of these around for rolling on the go. They’re sturdy, don’t need as much finesse when you’re rolling, and they can handle pretty much any type of weed you throw in them, whether it’s dry or super sticky.
5. Blunt Wraps (Tobacco-Based)
If you’re after that slow, heavy burn with a fat, thick cloud, you can’t go wrong with a good ol’ tobacco-based blunt wrap. These wraps add a tobacco buzz to your high, making the whole experience feel a bit more intense and longer-lasting.
Blunt aficionados know that these wraps are perfect for social sessions because they last a while. The trick is to lick the edges well before rolling to make sure they seal tight. Oh, and pro tip: if you let the wrap dry out just a little before rolling, you get a cleaner burn and less harshness on the throat.
6. Hemp Blunt Wraps
For those who love blunts but want to skip the tobacco, hemp blunt wraps are where it’s at. You still get that nice, slow burn, but without the nicotine buzz. They’re usually thicker than papers, giving you that heavy, satisfying hit without the added tobacco flavor.
These wraps can sometimes burn a little unevenly if you don’t roll them just right, so a little practice goes a long way. But once you get it down, they’ll burn slow and steady, and you won’t miss the tobacco at all.
7. Clear Cellulose Papers
Ever rolled a clear joint? It’s like smoking a joint made of glass—it looks cool and burns super slowly. Clear cellulose papers are made from plant cellulose, so they’re totally natural but feel and burn a little differently than your usual paper.
The cool part is, since they’re transparent, you get to see your weed as it burns. Just be warned: they can be a little slippery when you’re rolling, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll love the vibe they bring to a smoke sesh. It’s all about the experience here.
8. King-Size Papers
If you’re rolling up for a group sesh, or just want to take your time with a personal joint, king-size papers are the way to go. These papers are longer and sometimes wider, letting you pack in more weed for a slower, bigger burn. Perfect for those marathon smoke sessions.
Rolling a king-size is almost an art form. You don’t want to pack it too tight, or it won’t pull right, but you don’t want it too loose either. A well-rolled king-size joint can last a whole group through a session, and real stoners know that’s what you want at a party.
9. Gold Rolling Papers
Want to flex a little during your sesh? Gold rolling papers are the ultimate luxury. Made with edible gold, these papers burn surprisingly well and give your joint a shiny, golden glow. They don’t really alter the taste too much, but they definitely add a bit of wow factor.
The thing with gold papers is they’re more of a party trick—pull one out at a gathering, and you’ll instantly be the center of attention. They’re a fun novelty, but maybe save them for special occasions when you want to impress.
10. Natural Leaf Wraps (Fronto & Grabba)
For a truly rich, heavy hit, natural leaf wraps like Fronto or Grabba are where it’s at. These whole tobacco leaves offer a deep, full-bodied flavor that pairs well with strong, potent weed. You get that classic blunt experience, but way more intense.
If you’re a seasoned smoker, you probably already know that these leaves can be a bit harsh for beginners. But if you like a strong pull, roll them up tight and slow burn your way into a long, relaxing sesh. Just be sure to keep your leaf moist, because a dry Fronto is no fun to roll.
Whether you’re looking for a quick hit or an extended smoke, there’s a paper or wrap that fits every vibe. Drop by Cannabuds Dispensary, the premium Cannabis store in Scarborough to stock up on these essentials and take your smoke sesh to the next level!
