Rolling papers
by Mascotte
Mascotte Hemp Slim Rolling Papers are slim-format rolling papers made from 100% hemp fibre — unbleached, naturally thin, and designed to burn slowly without interfering with the taste of whatever you're smoking. Each booklet holds 34 leaves at approximately 106mm x 44mm, which is the standard king-size slim dimension that fits comfortably in a back pocket or rolling pouch. Mascotte has been producing rolling papers since 1855 in the Netherlands, making them one of the oldest names in the game — and these hemp slims are one of their most straightforward offerings.
Most rolling papers on the market are made from wood pulp, rice, or flax. Hemp papers sit in their own category — they're sturdier than rice papers without being as thick as standard wood pulp. That matters when you're rolling by hand. Rice papers are lovely and thin, but they crumple if you breathe on them wrong. Wood pulp papers are forgiving to roll with but burn faster and can leave a papery aftertaste. Hemp splits the difference: enough grip and body to roll easily, thin enough to let the flavour of your herb come through.
The Mascotte Hemp Slims are unbleached, which means no chlorine processing. You can see it in the natural light-brown colour of the paper. They burn evenly and slowly — noticeably slower than a standard white Rizla, for instance. If you tend to roll and then chat for a bit between drags, a slow-burning paper means less waste and fewer relights. We've had customers switch from bleached papers to hemp and tell us they can actually taste the difference in their smoke. Whether that's placebo or genuine, the paper itself has a faintly earthy, neutral character that doesn't compete with your herb.
One honest limitation: the gum strip on Mascotte hemp papers is good, not exceptional. It seals fine with a single lick, but if you're used to the almost aggressive stick of some Spanish brands, you might find yourself giving it a second pass. Not a dealbreaker — just something to note if you're switching over.

Complete your rolling setup with Mascotte Slim Filters or a pocket-sized rolling tray. A decent grinder makes a real difference too — evenly ground herb rolls more consistently and burns more uniformly than hand-torn material.
It's easy to think all rolling papers are the same — a thin sheet, a gum strip, done. But anyone who's rolled regularly knows the difference between a paper that cooperates and one that fights you. Cheap papers tear mid-roll, burn unevenly (canoeing down one side while the other barely catches), and leave a harsh chemical taste that sits on the back of your tongue. You've spent time picking your herb — why filter it through bleached wood pulp?
The Mascotte Hemp Slims cost pennies per paper. At 34 sheets per booklet, you're looking at one of the most affordable ways to upgrade your smoking experience without changing anything else about your routine. Same herb, same filter, same technique — just a paper that burns at the right pace and stays out of the way. We've been stocking Mascotte since the early days of the shop, and they remain one of the most consistently reliable brands on the shelf. No surprises, no duds in the pack. They just work.
Compared to something like RAW Classic King Size Slims — which are also unbleached and hemp-based — the Mascotte papers feel marginally thicker in the hand, which some rollers actually prefer because it gives more control during the tuck. RAW papers are a touch thinner and more translucent. Both are solid choices; the Mascotte tends to be the better pick if you roll without a machine and want that extra bit of structural forgiveness.
No. They're unbleached, which gives them that natural light-brown colour. No chlorine or chemical whitening agents are used in production.
Each booklet contains 34 king-size slim papers, each measuring approximately 106mm x 44mm.
They have a very faint earthy, neutral character — much less noticeable than bleached wood-pulp papers. Most people find they interfere less with the flavour of their herb, not more.
Yes, the 106mm x 44mm king-size slim format fits standard rolling machines designed for that size. The slightly sturdier hemp fibre feeds through without tearing.
Both are unbleached hemp papers in the same format. Mascotte papers feel marginally thicker, giving more control when hand-rolling. RAW papers are a touch thinner and more translucent. Both burn slowly and evenly — it comes down to personal rolling preference.
Yes. Hemp fibre burns noticeably slower than standard wood-pulp papers. You'll get a more even, longer-lasting smoke with less risk of canoeing.
No, this is a papers-only booklet with 34 leaves. Grab Mascotte Slim Filter Tips separately — they're designed to pair with this exact format.
