In this post I will be discussing why the thickness of a rolling paper can affect the quality of your smoke.

In an ideal world you always want to have the thinnest paper possible as this means you are consuming less unnecessary toxins and more of the ‘good’ stuff.

However thin rolling papers come with their own hindrance as if the paper is too thin you can get the problem of side burning. I don’t know about you but nothing annoys me more than a joint that won’t stop side burning. So the key to finding the perfect paper lies in a compromise of thickness and ‘burn-ability’.

There are a couple of companies that, in my eyes, have got this perfect. The first of which is OCB. With their Premium King-size papers they have managed to find that fine line that means you get the least amount of paper possible without losing the smoothness and ‘burn-ability’.

The other company that has found that fine line is RAW. Not only are their papers as thin as possible, they also contain NO added bleach or unnecessary toxins. This is a massive plus. Another reason the RAW rolling papers are so good is that on all of their papers they have a special cross-hatched watermark which aids the paper in burning evenly. This has made side burns a thing of the past.
