Yeah, after a few blunts I'm starting to see the drawbacks.....lol. Overall, I'd have to say......I can't wait for the case of Raws to get here..

BTW why do papers/wraps come in these ridiculous sizes? It is damn hard to roll an appreciable sized joint with these narrow papers.

here's a trick I found out

here's a trick I found out

^those are the exact same ones I'm using now

so I noticed a couple of drawbacks mostly to do with rolling and then the subsequent smoking of a poorly rolled cellulose joint.

I had problems keeping the herb inside while trying to roll it. the cellulose doesn't provide any traction for the herb to grab and slides out while working the herb back and forth.

Also once you've gotten the herb situated how you like it and you go to fold the edge and seal up the seam the front edge doesn't want to tuck instead it hits the back edge and slides up, this happens both by hand and a cig roller.... until i started doing this

first start at the bottom edge and fold about 1/16 of an inch or less seam all along the bottom of the cellulose paper






next, take the new bottom edge the seam you just made and line it up with the top edge


then, make a firm pinch on opposite ends to make partial seam in the middle of the paper but do not run the seam all the way across, like you would a normal joint paper, this will make it much more difficult to keep the herb inside

^notice the pinches on opposite ends of the paper, creating a partial seam in the middle of the paper when you open this up to fill with your herbs it should create a lil canoe like shape which help keep your herbs from all sliding out while rolling which will make it much easier to roll better cellulose J's, which will make them more enjoyable to smoke.

No the cellulose J's aren't the perfect smoking method. no J or blunt is, but I personally like these as an alternative to tobacco blunts and they burn and taste better than raw's or elements when rolled well... in my opinion at least.

peace,
Infi

Yeah I think with practice they could be mastered, but I'm just thinking they're not for me. I am not the best joint roller in the world so I don't need to make things too challenging. The problem I found is when sticking two together, they don't stick well. If the paper was simply available in more sane dimensions (like a 3" square) then it'd be a totally different story.

Not real fond of trip and few other brands i've tried, but aleda brand have become my favorite papers. I find they burn slower than a normal white paper. No problems going out or unusual burn properties. Also doesn't alter the flavor of your herb like all white papers seem to do.

didn't know that when you get banned people don't see your avatar anymore

i'm not too surprised that you got banned ginger ale :)

-------------------------

as for the aleda or trip clear paper

fun novelty but... since it looked plasticy, I always felt weird smoking on it. I did but eventually was turned off it.

you know sometimes they put out new products and aren't tested too much..

I remember some clear papers from the late '70s when there were lots of kooky stuff being made to market to stoners like the frisbee joint holders and those things that you could squeeze to give yourself a shotgun. It's funny to remember a time when there was almost a legitimate market for recreational use in the US for a few years..

I tried the new clear papers but they were worse than my memory of the old ones, I tossed em so I don't know if they were the same as the ones pictured here.

I'm always interested in good papers that have a distinctive look so I can roll up a handful of strains for the days throw them in a couple of tightpacs and be able to know which is which later.

They burn weird and the feel is wrong. It's like rolling with plastic. They were novel, but I didn't care for them. Gimme an OCB, a white zig zag or a 1.0
