Rolling papers
by RAW
RAW King Size Slim rolling papers are unbleached, ultra-thin papers made from unrefined plant fibres with zero chemical additives. They burn evenly, taste clean, and come 32 sheets to a pack — the go-to choice if you want nothing between you and your smoke except the bare minimum of paper. Made in Alcoy, Spain, where rolling papers have been produced since the 1700s.
Most rolling papers on the market go through a bleaching process — chlorine or calcium carbonate whitening that leaves chemical residues in the paper. RAW skips all of that. The light brown colour you see is the paper's natural state: unrefined fibres with nothing added to change the look, smell, or burn. You can actually feel the difference — hold a RAW paper up to the light and you'll notice the fibres aren't perfectly uniform. That's the point. It's real paper, not a processed sheet.
The adhesive strip uses natural hemp gum rather than synthetic glue. It sticks reliably with a single lick — no need to slobber all over it — and it doesn't leave that faint chemical taste some papers have. At 110mm long and slim width, the King Size Slim format gives you enough room for a proper roll without excess paper flapping about at the seam.
One honest limitation: because these papers are ultra-thin, they're not the most forgiving if you're still learning to roll. They can crease or tear if you handle them roughly. If your rolling technique is still a work in progress, you might find a slightly thicker paper easier to manage — or just grab a set of RAW pre-rolled cones and skip the rolling entirely.

Complete your setup: pair these papers with RAW filter tips for a cleaner draw and a sturdier roll. A RAW rolling tray keeps your workspace tidy and stops loose material from ending up in your carpet. If you'd rather skip the manual rolling, RAW pre-rolled cones in King Size fit the same amount and take about 10 seconds to fill.
The paper you roll with is the one thing you're guaranteed to inhale every single time. According to research published in the Journal of Analytical Toxicology, some commercially available rolling papers were found to contain heavy metals that caused samples to fail above testing action limits (PMC, 2024). That's a good reason to care about what your papers are made from.
RAW papers use no chlorine, no calcium carbonate, no burn-rate accelerants, and no dyes. The natural hemp gum adhesive avoids the polyvinyl acetate (PVA) glue found in cheaper papers. You get a slower, more even burn and a taste that's as close to neutral as paper gets. We've been stocking RAW since they first appeared in our shop, and the consistency batch to batch is one of the reasons they've stayed on the shelf for years.
Compared to bleached white papers, the burn rate on RAW King Size Slims is noticeably slower. That means less relighting, less wasted material, and a more relaxed session. The even burn also means fewer "canoes" — that annoying thing where one side burns faster than the other and your roll falls apart halfway through.
We've sold rolling papers since 1999, and RAW King Size Slims are consistently one of the top 3 sellers in the shop. The question we get most often: "Are these actually different from white papers, or is it just marketing?" Honestly, you can taste the difference. Light up a bleached paper and a RAW side by side — the RAW burns cleaner, with less of that papery, ashy aftertaste. It's not dramatic, but once you notice it, you don't go back.
The other thing worth mentioning: these papers are thinner than most competitors at this price point. That's a good thing for flavour and burn quality, but it does mean they're slightly trickier to roll if your hands are damp or if you're working in windy conditions outdoors. Keep them in the pack until you need one — they pick up moisture quickly if left out.
RAW papers are unbleached and unrefined — no chlorine, no calcium carbonate, no chemical burn accelerants. The adhesive is natural hemp gum instead of synthetic glue. You get a cleaner taste and a more even burn compared to processed white papers.
They're ultra-thin, which means they can tear if you're heavy-handed. If you're still learning to roll, RAW pre-rolled cones are an easier starting point — same paper, no technique required. Once your rolling is consistent, switch to these.
Avoid papers with chemical additives, bleaching agents, artificial flavours, and synthetic adhesives. According to research on commercial rolling papers, some products contained heavy metals above safe action limits. Sticking with unbleached, additive-free papers like RAW reduces that risk.
Each pack contains 32 rolling papers. At the rate most people use them, that's roughly 2-4 weeks per pack depending on frequency.
Yes. RAW King Size Slim papers use no animal-derived materials. The paper is plant fibre, and the gum is natural hemp-based — no casein, gelatin, or beeswax involved.
RAW was founded by Josh Kesselman, who set out to create a natural, additive-free rolling paper. Production is based in Alcoy, Spain — a region with over 700 years of papermaking history. The brand has grown into one of the most recognised names in rolling accessories worldwide.
Yes. The lack of burn-rate accelerants and the ultra-thin, unrefined paper stock means RAW King Size Slims burn noticeably slower and more evenly than most bleached alternatives. Fewer relights, fewer canoes.
