Rolling papers for tobacco, dried herbs or resin

Nowadays, rolling papers are manufactured in different sizes and finishes, meeting the needs of consumers, but in the beginning, this inseparable companion of the smoker was simpler. However, thanks to industrial development, organic paper, rice paper, cellulose, etc. are now available.

Many experts place the origin of cigarette paper in Spain in the mid-18th century in Alcoy, a town in Alicante, which is credited with being the first rolling paper factory. From this factory it began to be exported to America, where it was commonly exchanged for tobacco. Globalization democratized access to rolling paper and today it can be found all over the world.

A quality rolling paper has to be as thin as possible and at the same time offer resistance so that it does not break in the rolling process. Many smokers prefer that these papers do not undergo chemical bleaching processes, as this can negatively affect the organoleptic properties of the tobacco, dried herbs or resins that are introduced inside.

The rolling paper must also have a fundamental element such as the gluing area, also known as glue. This allows the cigarette to be assembled so that it does not fall apart when it is smoked. The action of the glue is activated by the application of moisture, usually with saliva.

Depending on the material from which a rolling paper is made, it may have one type of combustion or another. For those smokers who want a cigarette that does not go out and does not need to be lit constantly, it is best to opt for fast-burning papers. On the other hand, those consumers who are looking for better aromas, of a more natural character, it is preferable to use slow-burning papers that respect the organoleptic properties of the product they want to smoke.

Size is another factor that determines the type of smoking paper. Thus, there is regular paper (69×37 mm), medium or ¼ size paper (77×44 mm) and King Size paper, the largest formats that exist, which can be 108×44 mm. The choice of one size or another depends mainly on the number of people who are going to smoke the same cigarette.
