empire rolling papers

So you’re looking to expand your rolling paper palate. Who’s who in the zoo of rolling papers. We’ve whipped up a few unique tables for you.  These break down the different types of rolling papers, the brands in that category, a little bit of information and a breakdown of where they are popular.

Find a table of rolling papers below.  In the future we will expand into cones and cannagar or blunt wraps but for now we will touch on the varieties of rolling papers.  Why do we need to differentiate? Because premade CONE papers are NOT rolling papers. A big piece of the culture today has lost the art of rolling – and a pack of papers is completely different than a pack of cones.  Below is a  table of rolling paper companies making papers that you need to be skilled in rolling to use.
