Common characteristics of rolling papers

Each rolling paper model has its own characteristics so that you can choose the one that best suits your taste.

However, there are some common characteristics that you will find in almost all types of Smoking rolling paper. They are the following:

• The Smoking watermark guarantees that it has been made with our quality seal. Only a few exceptions such as vergé paper do not carry it, but it is just as good.
• Most types of rolling papers in our catalogue offer slow-burning, so you can enjoy your cigarette for longer.
• Ultra-thin paper is a Smoking classic, but in reality, you’ll find different grammage options for almost every alternative.
• The FSC certification you will often see is because the paper comes from forests and plantations that preserve biodiversity.

How the paper is made

The process of making cigarette paper requires a lot of time and, although it has improved with the new technology, the basis is still the same.

Firstly, the original material is chosen and the pulp is moistened. After that, it is stretched and very thin leaves are created.

We let the thin leaves dry and then cut them to the right size. The last step is to pack them into what is now called paper booklets.

There are many factors within this process that influence the final result, such as the original material chosen, the size of the cut, the grammage, and many other elements, which make the experience with each model different.
