Rolling papers
by Mascotte
Mascotte Original 1¼ rolling papers are a Dutch-made smoking accessory that delivers a clean, even burn with natural Acacia gum adhesive — 50 leaves per booklet, sized at the classic 1¼ format that sits comfortably between single-wide and king-size. Mascotte has been producing rolling papers since 1855, making them one of the oldest names in the game. When you tear a leaf from this booklet, you can feel the weight is just right — thin enough to let flavour through, sturdy enough that it won't rip mid-roll.
A bad rolling paper ruins everything. Too thick and you're tasting paper instead of herb. Too flimsy and you're picking apart a soggy mess before you've even finished rolling. Mascotte's Original line sits in that sweet spot we've come to expect from Dutch manufacturing — the paper is thin, burns slowly and evenly, and the natural Acacia gum strip seals with a single lick. No re-wetting, no peeling corners, no drama.
The 1¼ size (roughly 78mm long and 45mm wide) gives you about 25% more room than a standard single-wide paper. That extra width means you can roll a slightly fuller smoke without jumping up to king-size territory. For most people rolling with a cardboard tip, 1¼ is the most practical everyday size — big enough to be satisfying, small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. If you tend to roll slimmer, a single-wide like the Mascotte Slim Size would suit you better. But for a standard, no-fuss roll? The 1¼ is what we'd grab.
One honest note: these are standard-thickness papers, not ultra-thins. If you're chasing the absolute thinnest paper on the market, Mascotte makes a separate "Extra Thin" line for that. The Originals prioritise ease of rolling and durability — they forgive slightly damp fingers and clumsy tucks in a way that ultra-thins simply don't. For newer rollers especially, that's a genuine advantage.

Choosing the right rolling paper size is simpler than it looks — it comes down to how much you want to pack and how portable you need the result to be. Here's how the 1¼ stacks up against the other common formats:
| Size | Approximate Dimensions | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Single Wide | 68 x 36mm | Slim, quick smokes — minimal material |
| 1¼ (this product) | 78 x 45mm | Everyday rolling with a tip — the all-rounder |
| 1½ | 78 x 62mm | Fuller rolls, sharing with a mate |
| King Size Slim | 110 x 44mm | Longer sessions, cones, party rolls |
The 1¼ is the best rolling paper size for daily use if you roll with a filter tip and prefer a moderate amount of herb. It's the format we see sold most often alongside tip booklets — the proportions just work.
Complete your setup: grab a pack of Mascotte Original Filter Tips for a proper mouthpiece, and a Mascotte Rolling Machine if you prefer a consistent, hands-free roll every time. A small metal rolling tray keeps loose herb off your table and makes cleanup a 5-second job.
We've stocked Mascotte papers since the shop opened in 1999, and the Originals have barely changed in that time — which is exactly the point. The Acacia gum is the detail that makes the difference. Synthetic adhesives on cheaper papers sometimes taste bitter or refuse to stick on the first try. Mascotte's natural gum seals cleanly and doesn't leave any off flavour. You can actually smell the difference if you hold a Mascotte leaf next to a budget paper — the Mascotte is almost odourless, while cheaper options carry a faint chemical note.
The texture of the paper itself is slightly waxy to the touch, which helps it resist tearing when you're tucking. It's not as papery-feeling as a RAW, and not as slippery as a Smoking brand paper. Somewhere in between — grippy enough to control, smooth enough to roll without catching. After 25+ years of watching customers roll at the counter, we can say confidently: the 1¼ Original is the paper that causes the fewest "can I start over?" moments.
They measure approximately 78mm long by 45mm wide. That's about 25% wider than a standard single-wide paper, giving you room for a filter tip and a comfortable amount of herb without going full king-size.
Mascotte uses natural Acacia gum — a plant-derived adhesive that activates with a single lick. It's flavourless and sticks reliably on the first pass, unlike synthetic alternatives that sometimes need re-wetting.
No. The Originals are standard-thickness papers built for easy rolling and durability. The Extra Thin line is noticeably thinner and burns even slower, but it's less forgiving if your rolling technique is still developing. Start with Originals, move to Extra Thin once you're confident.
Each booklet contains 50 leaves. At one roll per day, that's nearly two months from a single pack.
Barely, if at all. The organic wood pulp and natural Acacia gum produce very little flavour interference. Compared to thicker or chemically treated papers, the Mascotte Original lets the natural flavour of your herb come through cleanly.
Yes. The 1¼ width fits standard 78mm rolling machines. Mascotte makes their own 78mm roller that pairs with these papers — drop in a tip and herb, close the lid, and you get a uniform roll every time.
Mascotte papers are manufactured in the Netherlands. The brand has been producing rolling papers since 1855 — over 165 years of Dutch paper-making expertise.
