Rolling papers
by RAW
The RAW Phatty Roller is a joint rolling machine designed specifically for thick, oversized joints that would test even experienced hand-rollers. Load it up, turn the roller, lick and seal — done. If you can operate a tin opener, you can roll a cone that looks like it came out of a coffeeshop display case. RAW built this one wider than their standard rollers, so you're getting properly chunky results every single time.

Complete your setup with RAW Classic King Size Slim rolling papers and RAW pre-rolled filter tips. The Phatty Roller works best when the papers and tips match its wider gauge — RAW's own papers are the obvious pairing since they're cut to the same spec.
Hand-rolling fat joints is a different beast from rolling standard-width ones. The wider the paper, the harder it is to keep the herb evenly distributed and the tuck clean. Most people end up with a lumpy mess that canoes down one side after 30 seconds. We've watched customers in the shop try to hand-roll king-size cones and give up after the third attempt — not because they're bad at rolling, but because physics works against you when there's that much paper to manage.
The Phatty Roller takes the guesswork out entirely. The rolling apron does the tucking for you, applying even pressure across the full width. The result is a joint with consistent density from tip to filter — no thin spots, no air pockets, no side-burning. And because it's built wider than RAW's standard roller, you're not trying to cram extra herb into a machine that wasn't designed for it. This one was built for fat joints from the ground up.
The honest limitation? You're locked into one diameter. If you want to alternate between slim rolls and fat ones, you'll need two machines. The Phatty Roller does one thing — thick joints — and it does that one thing properly. If you mostly roll slim, grab a standard-width RAW roller instead. But if your sessions call for something with a bit more presence, this is the tool.
We've stocked joint rollers since the early 2000s, and the number one mistake people make is overpacking. If you stuff the Phatty Roller until herb is spilling over the edges, the apron can't rotate smoothly and you end up with a joint that's rock-hard in the middle and loose at the ends. Use about 0.8–1.2g for a proper fat joint — enough to fill the chamber without forcing it. You'll feel a slight resistance when turning; that's the sweet spot.
The second most common issue: using papers that are too short. The Phatty Roller is built for king-size papers (approximately 110mm long). Regular-sized papers won't wrap all the way around the wider diameter, leaving you with an exposed seam. Stick with king-size slims — RAW Classic or RAW Organic Hemp are the obvious choices since they come from the same brand and the dimensions match exactly.
Weight-wise, the Phatty Roller feels solid in the hand without being heavy. The plastic is the same grade RAW uses across their roller range — not flimsy, not luxury, just functional. It fits in a jacket pocket or a small pouch. After a few uses, you'll notice a slight herb residue on the apron. A quick wipe with a dry cloth keeps it rolling smoothly. Don't use water or solvents on the apron — it'll warp the material.
Consistency. A roller applies even pressure across the full length, so you get uniform density from filter to tip. Hand-rolling fat joints takes genuine skill — the Phatty Roller skips the learning curve entirely and delivers the same result every time.
King-size papers, roughly 110mm long. Regular-sized papers are too short to wrap around the wider diameter. RAW Classic King Size Slim or RAW Organic Hemp King Size are the best match.
Roughly 0.8–1.2g depending on grind consistency and how tightly you want it packed. Don't overfill — leave a couple of millimetres of clearance so the apron can rotate freely.
Yes, and you should. Place a filter tip at one end before adding your herb. RAW pre-rolled tips are the easiest option since they're sized to fit RAW rollers, but any standard cardboard tip works fine.
Wipe the apron and rollers with a dry cloth after every few uses. Avoid water or cleaning solvents — they can warp the rolling apron. A soft brush works well for clearing stuck herb from the edges.
Width. The Phatty Roller is built wider to produce thicker joints. A standard RAW roller gives you slim to regular-width rolls. If you want fat cones without the hand-rolling hassle, the Phatty is the one to grab.
It produces straight, cylindrical joints. For tapered cones, you'd need a cone-specific loader or hand-roll technique. The Phatty Roller's strength is uniform, evenly packed fat joints.
