That is just total nonsense. Maybe similar thickness paper from similar pulp might be difficult to identify in a blind test but you don't need to be a super taster to notice a difference between different thickness, and different materials. And even if that were the case there would still be differences in how it stays lit, ease of rolling, if it sticks to your lip...

Most expensive papers would be the Shine gold papers. $11/paper (yes, just one, cheaper to roll with a ten-dollar bill).
We/I smoke with the thinnest paper I can roll with, without forfeiting structural integrity of the joint, if I'm smoking a jont at all.

Old habits die hard, we grew up twisting joints, and joints were safer re. not having to toss paraphernalia if stopped. Circumstantial evidence on a stretch in some places, but no charge for defacto possession, based on residue in a pipe. And papers were cheaper than pipes, too.

I have vaporizers, but they're a pain in the ass that can (in contrast) turn the ritualistic preparation of joints into some sort of quasi-Rubix cube complexity or mess, so despite having vaporizers, they're typically skipped and collect dust most of the time.

If pipes are used, there's glass, but again, travel with them, and carrying them, provides another hurdle some times.

Thin white ZigZags or the thinner Element papers suit the bill for us. If the taste of paper interferes notably with the taste of good buds, it's probably the wrong paper. And if it's rancid on the taste buds, it's quite probably that much more harsh on lung and throat tissues as well.

But no place in my extensive history have I ever spent $11 on a paper. Maybe if someone gave me one, I'd use it.

Sometimes a thicker paper that doesn't go out as easily can be nice especially when out and about. Something like a RAW Organic Hemp.

The gold papers are a strange phenomenon. A kind of ultimate excess, that anyone can afford, if they are dumb enough. :D

Blimey guys, I mean rolling paper for 11 bucks a pack? Nice if you can afford it or if you´re just really posh (or trying to feel this way, lol).
I started rolling regular fags around March last year instead of buying ordinary ones. Not just for economic reasons but also because I end up consuming less ;) .
Anyway, I shopped around in my local area and finally found a discount store which sells abound 500 papers (short, not king size) for about 1 EUR. How´s that for saving money :)
And you know what? I don´t care about the other details, lol. As long as I can roll one up, be it with or without weed, I´m just fine?

But I gotta be honest. All this talk about the differences in rolling papers, asthma and stuff really does make me curious.... It´s too bad that I probably can´t even get hold of some of thr papers mentioned here. I have, however, used ZigZag a few times :)
But none of the shops around here have Rizlas :(

One of the things I miss is the flavoured rolling paper, like the licorice ones.... Man I do really miss London and this small, yet great News Agent in London - including the flavoured tobacco !!!

Sorry guys, I´m rambling..... :biggrin:

:smoker:

Nah, or kinda, but the pack only has one paper.. It's crazy.


I kinda like the licorice Rizlas too. Look like a cigarillo, stealthy. Thick paper tho can't be good for you.

I have an antique cigarette hand rolling machine, but I can't find that picture. I use 1 gram per joint, I use them for tips.

I found my rolling machine on my tablet. The rolling tray is one I made my daughter many years ago with clear epoxy and some leaves from Charlie Garcia's Peyote Purple. The leaves have faded over the years.

So, for damn near half my life, all my pals made fun of the way I roll joints. I guess most ppl roll with the glue side with your fingers. I do the opposite, I have the glue side on my thumbs while my index fingers hold the paper. I'll roll my thumbs up while rolling with my fingers down, and reverse back and forth to make the roll.

Anyone else do this? I can roll stellar joints so no worries there. Just curious if it's just me 😆
Respect first person ive seen roll like this i do this too

Why don't people use Zig Zags anymore? They're still the best papers, IMHO
I´m currently `forced´ to use Zig Zag . I only use them because the others I normally get for cheap at this one shop have been out stock since March or so :(
I do like them but they´re too pricey for me as I do a lot of regular roll-ups (I don´t buy regular fags anymore)
