BEUZ 1¼ rolling papers are ultra-fine, unbleached natural rolling papers made for smokers who want the herb to do the talking. "Beuz" means "strong" in Breton, and that's the idea — thin enough to disappear into the smoke, sturdy enough to roll without tearing. If you've ever wrestled with a paper that burns faster than your herb, these solve that.
Why these papers matter for your roll
BEUZ 1¼ papers are 78mm unbleached rolling papers that sit right in the sweet spot between a standard single-wide and a king size. You get roughly 30% more paper than a standard size — enough room for a proper tip and a pinch extra — without the overkill of a king size that ends up loose at the ends. The paper itself is thin enough that you taste the herb, not the wrap, and the unbleached fibre means no chlorine residue getting into the smoke.
The brand is French, the Breton name is a nod to the owners' roots, and the papers are manufactured in France at one of the big paper mills that also produces for the classic European brands. Translation: this isn't some no-name pretender. It's proper paper with a sensible price tag.
1¼ vs king size: which BEUZ to grab
1¼ is the most-rolled paper size in Europe for a reason — it fits a single-person smoke with a tip and a modest amount of herb. Each booklet holds 50 leaves, and one booklet typically lasts a regular roller a couple of weeks.
| Size | Length | Best for |
|---|---|---|

| 1¼ (this one) | 78mm | Solo roll with tip, balanced amount of herb |
| King size slim | 110mm | Sharing, larger rolls, long sessions |

How to roll a clean 1¼
- Grab a tip (filter), a pinch of well-ground herb, and one BEUZ 1¼ leaf — gum strip facing you, up.
- Place the tip at one end and distribute the herb evenly along the paper.
- Pinch the paper between thumbs and index fingers, roll the herb into a cylinder by rocking back and forth.
- Tuck the non-gummed edge under the herb, then roll upward until only the gum strip is showing.
- Lick the gum lightly — less is more, too much moisture wrinkles the paper — and seal it shut.
- Twist the open end or pack it down with a pen tip. Light the tip end evenly for a slow, even burn.
Complete your rolling kit: pair these papers with a pack of BEUZ filter tips for a clean draw, and grab a pollinator grinder so your herb is fine enough to roll evenly. A rolling tray keeps everything in one place and catches the inevitable spill — the Actitube or RAW trays we stock do the job.
What we think of BEUZ on the shop floor
We've sold a lot of rolling papers since 1999, and BEUZ sits in a genuinely useful spot — cheaper than the fancy organic brands, better than the cellulose-looking ultra-thins that stick to your lip. The burn is slow and even, the gum strip actually sticks on the first lick (a surprisingly rare quality), and the 1¼ size is the one we reach for personally when we're not rolling for a group.
Honest limitation: the paper is thin, which is the whole point, but it also means if your hands are clammy or you're rolling outside in Amsterdam drizzle, you'll tear a leaf or two. Not a flaw — just physics. Buy a second booklet if you're a beginner. They're not expensive.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "1¼" actually mean?
It refers to the paper size — 1¼ papers are roughly 78mm long and about 25% wider than a standard single wide. It's the most common size in Europe for rolling a single smoke with a tip.
Are BEUZ papers unbleached?
Yes. BEUZ 1¼ papers use natural, ultra-fine unbleached paper with no chlorine or artificial whiteners. The slight off-white colour is the paper's natural tone.
How many papers are in a booklet?
50 leaves per booklet, which is standard for the 1¼ size. For most regular rollers that's around two weeks of personal use.
Is the gum strip vegan?
Yes — BEUZ uses a natural acacia-based gum, which is plant-derived. No animal products in the paper or the adhesive.
Do these burn slower than standard papers?
Generally yes. Ultra-fine unbleached papers burn slower and more evenly than thicker bleached papers because there's less material to combust. You taste the herb, not the paper.
Can I use these with tobacco, herbal blends, or CBD flower?
Yes — BEUZ papers work with any natural smoking herb. The thin unbleached paper preserves the flavour of whatever you're rolling, from tobacco to dry-herb CBD to damiana-based herbal blends.
