Rolling papers
by Mascotte
Mascotte Brown King Size Rolling Papers are unbleached, slow-burning papers designed to let your herb do the talking — no chemical taste, no uneven burn, just a clean smoke from start to finish. Each booklet holds 34 leaves of natural, untreated paper in king size format, giving you plenty of room to roll a proper joint without cramping your style.
Mascotte has been making rolling papers in the Netherlands for decades, and their "Original Dutch Quality" stamp isn't just marketing fluff — you can feel it the moment you pull a sheet from the booklet. The paper is thin enough to stay out of the way of your strain's flavour profile, yet strong enough that it won't tear mid-roll. That magnetic closure on the booklet is a genuinely nice touch too — keeps your papers clean and flat whether they're rattling around in your jacket pocket or sitting on the coffee table.

Complete your rolling setup — pair these with Mascotte Slim Filters or a set of reusable glass filter tips for a smoother draw. If you're still perfecting your technique, a hand rolling machine takes the guesswork out of getting a tight, even joint every time.
The difference between bleached white papers and unbleached brown ones is straightforward: brown papers skip the chlorine or calcium carbonate whitening process entirely. That means zero chemical residue sitting between you and your herb. You taste what you packed — nothing more, nothing less.
We've had customers come back after switching from standard white papers to unbleached and say they noticed the difference on the first joint. Whether that's placebo or genuine, the logic holds up: fewer processing chemicals means a cleaner burn. The Mascotte Browns are also noticeably thinner than most budget king size papers, which translates to less paper taste and a slower, more even burn. You're not fighting the paper — you're just smoking your herb.
The one honest limitation? Because the paper is thinner and unbleached, it's slightly less forgiving if you roll loosely. If you pack your joints like a sock drawer, you might get a canoe (one side burning faster than the other). Roll it snug, though, and these burn beautifully from tip to roach.
This sounds like a small detail, but if you've ever pulled a crumpled, bent paper out of a battered booklet at the bottom of your bag, you'll appreciate it. The magnetic closure on these Mascotte booklets keeps the flap shut properly. Papers stay flat, clean, and dry. No dog-eared corners, no papers sticking together. At 34 leaves per booklet, you're getting a solid supply that stays in good condition from the first sheet to the last.
The booklet itself is compact enough to slip into a shirt pocket. It's roughly the footprint of a standard king size pack but feels more substantial — the magnetic strip adds a fraction of weight but a lot of practicality. We'd take this over a flimsy cardboard flap any day of the week.
If you're comparing these to RAW Classic King Size — the other big name in unbleached papers — the main differences come down to paper weight and gum. The Mascotte Browns feel marginally thicker than RAW Classics, which actually makes them a bit easier to handle for less experienced rollers. RAW papers are famously thin, which is great for taste but can be tricky if your technique isn't dialled in yet.
Against OCB Virgin King Size (another unbleached option), the Mascotte booklet wins on packaging alone — that magnetic closure is genuinely useful compared to OCB's standard tuck flap. Paper quality between the two is comparable, but Mascotte edges it on burn consistency in our experience. Both are solid choices, but the Mascotte Brown is the one we'd grab off the shelf for everyday use.

We've been stocking Mascotte products since the early days of the shop, and the Brown King Size is consistently one of the papers people come back for. The thing we hear most often is that the burn is reliable — no relighting, no racing, no papery aftertaste. For a product that costs pocket change, that's exactly what you want.
One thing we always mention: if you're rolling in humid conditions (festival season, looking at you), these hold up better than ultra-thin papers because they've got just enough body to them. They don't go soggy the second your fingers are slightly damp. Small thing, but it matters when you're standing in a field in August.
Yes. The brown colour comes from the paper being unbleached — no chlorine, no calcium carbonate, no dyes. The only addition is the natural gum arabic on the adhesive strip, which is plant-derived and standard across virtually all rolling papers.
Each booklet contains 34 leaves. One leaf per joint, so 34 joints. That's 2 more than most competing king size packs, which typically come with 32.
They're a solid choice. The paper is thin but not ultra-thin, so it's forgiving enough for newer rollers while still giving you a clean burn. If you're really struggling, pair them with a hand rolling machine until your technique improves.
King size papers are approximately 108mm long and 44mm wide. That's large enough for a generous joint with a filter tip, typically holding 0.5–1g of milled herb depending on how tightly you roll.
Most people find unbleached papers have less of a papery taste than bleached white ones. The difference is subtle but noticeable, especially with aromatic strains where you want the terpene profile to come through cleanly.
It does. We've carried these in jacket pockets, backpacks, and festival bum bags without the booklet popping open. The magnet is small but strong enough to keep the flap sealed during normal use.
Absolutely. King size papers work with any 110mm rolling machine. Just load your herb, insert the paper with the gum strip facing you at the top, and roll. The machine does the tucking for you.
