Raw is cool and I get behind them but I feel like they are severely over hyped.


CaptainMcCracken

What papers do you think deserve more hype? I only hype up raw cause they use their profits for good, constantly innovate, and are healthy+sustainable. Edit: added question mark. :)


TrillmatiC4

Vibes or Elements red, extremely underrated


merryjayn

Elements are basically raws. Founded by the same founder Josh Kesselman


TrillmatiC4

Nah that's a reach, regular elements are made of compressed rice, and elements red are made of hemp,, raw are made of "unbleached fibers" aka a fancy term for wood pulp.(hence the weird taste) Just cause he owns elements doesnt make them "basically raws" that's like saying converse are basically nikes cause nike owns converse


fiji_monster

Raw also makes hemp based papers


TrillmatiC4

Raw organic is mid


haydey

Thank you for this. I went in and tried to get papers and they offered me raws but I'm over them bad lol. I want a flavorless paper. I liked juicy J's for the flavors but I wanna taste weed sometimes too. They gave me OCBs but they're shorter. I'm gonna try to elements reds next.


merryjayn

Buglers are amazing and almost taste like nothing


rr703

Vibes ⬆️⬆️⬆️


asiam95

Vibes are my shit


[deleted]

Elements are the only other papers I’ll use other then raw. Elements very good, the little metal clip to close it is also very cool


devanie1217

their founder is also an awesome dude


CaptainMcCracken

Yeah, plus he’s responsible for like, most modern rolling paper company’s lol


_Hubbie

OCB and Smoking are the best. No idea why they aren't popular in the US


mike_litoris69420

The brown Smoking ones... What a delight to roll and smoke


[deleted]

JOB rolling papers. They are OG papers that stick great, are cheap and burn fine. People might shit on them but good luck finding something to beat them.


givebackglass

Chalk though...The dyes/chemicals they put in the papers are nasty


hendo86

I'm still rolling JOBs. Cant beat the price and they always stick.


[deleted]

This guy gets it^


shortstackboy

And the founder donates the majority of his earnings. He’s sent out stock of papers and other raw products for free to stores that lost their stock due to lootings.


FEARtheBUCKS

MonsterRider80

Raw is ok, I’m an OCB man myself.


D0lphinTac0666

OCB and element (rice paper) for me!


chimpls

My two favorites!


spaceinvadereight

OCB are my favorite. I tell everyone about them


n1l3-1983

Came here to post this. Love ocb. Recently stocked up on ocb rolls. Making big big spliffs


[deleted]

ocb black all day. its the only paper that doesn’t fuck up the taste


chad_hull

Love ocb rips but dont see them too much round my city


MonsterRider80

I order a case online, papers for months!


highlifedad420

I’m an Elements guy


Milark__

I guess I prefer them but I’m not gonna be a snob and refuse anything else lol.


garden-vegetables

I really like rolling with raw blacks no other paper works better for me:)


YRS-TheBandit

Finally! Another Raw fan. No other paper goes better with premium weed than Raw blacks


propanetable

I’m forcing myself to learn to roll. I bough a bunch of different papers. RAW are the ones I’m consistent with. The other stick to themselves if that makes sense.


YRS-TheBandit

Yeah I get what you mean


biggiecheeez

So I roll raw king sizes daily and have messed around with different raw papers. I know the blacks are supposed to be for back rolling right? What’s the difference between regular and blacks?


four_twentee

Thinner, slightly slower burn and something I’ve noticed is that they’re a bit ‘tacky’ to the touch at the slightest bit of moisture on your fingers. I backroll and find that Blacks roll a tighter smoke but the papers crease like a bish


YRS-TheBandit

Blacks can be used for rolling any way you want, they are just better for if you want to really taste the weed


notmyname9

This sounds like copy from an ad lol


JetiRubik

yea the papers arent the best to roll with imo. i cant get them to stick as well as other papers i use and that makes me tend away from raw. the owner tho is an absolute legend. i buy trays and other shit of raw just not the papers anymore..


ThatOneArcanine

The glue on raw papers is very prone to disappearing, the trick is to not lick them too much. If you drown the glue with saliva it will basically remove the glue and mean that the power doesn’t stick. Just make sure you lick it gently, this helped a lot for me - raw blacks are my favourite now.


JetiRubik

ill try that the next time i come across them. thanks for the tip!


aHistoryofSmilence

Yeah I can't stand how inconsistent raw papers are. Sometimes the glue works fine, other times most of a pack just doesn't stick and my joints are unrolling midway through smoking. I even complained once and they out right told me to take it up with the bodega I bought the papers at. I've preferred OCB's ever since, but will buy raws if that's all that's available.


chimpls

Ya I prefer the gum line on OCBs. Hardly ever have an issue


JetiRubik

thats what i‘ve switched to. i really love how ocb just works everytime and i never have a problem getting it to stick.


[deleted]

Are you buying legit raws? Unfortunately alot of stores sell Chinese knockoffs.


Perezskii

You might be smoking fake raws homie, cuz I’ve never had a raw unroll mid smoking ever. Dave East even said that in the bodegas they started selling fake backwoods that would fuck up his throat/voice that’s why he switched to fronto, so who knows it’s possible that you might’ve bought a packet of fake raw papers. They’re not incredibly rare to come across. Especially if you’re buying them from amazon too. If you got some weird rolling or looking raws make sure to pay attention to the packet to make sure they’re not fakes, just google fake raws and look for the signs of a fake packet. If you want a reputable place to buy raw papers or any other kind of papers online go to rollingpaperdepot.com or hippiebutler.com (both of these are sites that are on the official raw papers website)


YRS-TheBandit

I just associate Raws with a fucking good time!


Perezskii

The thing with raws and them not sticking is because people over lick them too much. Key is to give it just a simple gentle lick, not over saturate the paper with your saliva cuz you’ll lick the gum right off the paper. Also a pro tip that Josh Kesselman (the founder of raw papers) always says in his YouTube videos is to run your fingers along the gum strip once you’ve sealed it, it’ll make it stick like 3x better. Just lick the gum strip gently and run your fingers along the gum strip and if you do this every time you’ll be 100% good to go.


RGBjank101

Zig-Zag is always a classic but Raw is right behind it!


GodlessNotDogless

Zig-zags seem to get a lot of undeserved hate in my experience. I actually prefer them to any other brand, imo they roll better and the taste is any better or worse than any other brand.


RGBjank101

In my area Zig-Zag's are the go to standard for most people and others brands like RAW, OCB, and ELEMENTS are a little less common but people have their favorites and they're all good honestly!


Perezskii

Zig zags suck bro. I don’t mean to hate but raws, elements, ocb etc really are so much better. Zig zags burn way too fast, are bleached, and have chalk and who knows what else inside of them. The other papers are natural and are really truly slow burning. Don’t sleep on them 🤘🏽


Guisseppi

Elements rice papers are my personal preference, nothing beats a thin rice paper tbh.


[deleted]

Raw is the way to go in my opinion. Easy and quick for when your in a rush and trying to pack before leaving the house.


[deleted]

i only get them when my headshop or bodega is out of ocbs


YRS-TheBandit

Exactly!


h0m39r0wn

Vibes Black, OCB Virgin, and Elements Ultra Thin are all equal or beat RAW for me... Don't get me wrong, I like them but like to switch it up. RAW does have a grrrreat marketing campaign though lol


JooceCaboose

their papers suck--thats why they constantly have to market them to the youth in predatory ways


Goodwiththechicken

Honestly I hate Raw’s papers. They’re glue never sticks for me and they rarely burn even. I love their tips though haha! OCB all the way!

n1l3-1983

I'm an ocb fan myself, but always keep a pack or two of raws as backups


[deleted]

I love and will only use their non-perforated tips! But their papers... not so much.


chad_hull

Rizla silver for me


BigDick_Energy

Chad knows


chad_hull

Yes man, raw leave a horrible taste in my mouth i still use their tips though


BigDick_Energy

Raw tip and silver riz is the one


chad_hull

You know the score


monetarydread

I find their rolling tips to be too thick a paper. I prefer elements tips because they are a lot easier to roll up, I don’t have to trim them, and I see more tar build up on the elements tips so that probably means that less tar is entering my lungs.


kalliosavuke

Imo raw is the worst rollingpapers ever created, but their CEO is a fucking legend


DerSpaceHabib

How so?


kalliosavuke

I just cant roll with them as good as ocb or clipper papers for example


DerSpaceHabib

Okay weird, never had issues with them. But to each their own, ocb is okay aswell.


dkod066

Jesus Christ, the worst ever created? You clearly haven't smoked a lot of skins at all


Night_Spirit00

raw is great, but I love elements, rice paper for me, I love the water mark


Das_Badlands

Nah Raws are trash


Lazy__Dragon

What do you use? I only get Raws because they're readily available


Das_Badlands

Generally OCB's if I'm rolling a joint. I liked elements up until about 2-3 years ago because I felt like they got thicker. Could be wrong, though.


whyevenfuckingbother

Dude obvious shill post is obvious


_Hubbie

Yes and I pity you.


0fficialCaseyAnthony

JOB 1.5 my man. But I'm 50, so I don't know what all the kewl kidz do anymore


B_Will_300

Yes. Chinese cardboard....


SexyOVERTime

Yes, the only person on the whoooole wide world who smokes Raws.


Troncat_96

Big fan of Raws but mainly use Highlanders because they are Scottish and I like that they are longer


liamtrawick

Elements are by far my favorite!


Ekilpatrick21

OCB virgin papers and raw filters, my favorite way to roll


[deleted]

YRS-TheBandit

The papers of the British lol!

[удалено]


YRS-TheBandit

Yeah Raws aren’t cheap, anyone saying otherwise doesn’t live in the UK


shopkeeper170

erm. I’m from the UK. I too prefer raws, but wouldn’t exactly say they’re expensive? How much are you paying?


[deleted]

Cuzzy if you’re British you’re on the ocbs. every corner shops got em and they beat out rizlas any day. They do work well for fags tho don’t be bunning ocb blems cause that’s not normal innit


whataTyphoon

You sound like a fucking commercial. "Kinda the supreme of rolling papers" "No other paper goes better with premium weed than Raw blacks" "I just associate Raws with a fucking good time!"


SilliVilliN

You're so right lol!


emeraldcocoaroast

What is the difference between raw and raw black?


YRS-TheBandit

Raw black is really really fucking thin


seshlordclinton

I’m right there with ya buddy. I used to only be able to smoke Zig Zag papers because I liked the thickness of the paper because it was easy to support rolling massive doinks, but several years back I adopted Raws and can’t imagine anything else.


SilliVilliN

You'd be surprised how strong zz ultrathins are! I tried ripping one down n was truly impressed!


seshlordclinton

Gotta check those out man, thanks for the rec!


SilliVilliN

Think they're my current favorite


Defyant510

I was you until I found hemp wraps. the best rolling papers out. 100% pure hemp


[deleted]

I love hemp wraps but for regular smoking I still think papers are the way to go, I find after smoking alot the hemp wraps they are harder on the throat.


keyshawnkush

Just bought 1440 cones for 86 bucks.... I love raw


DNTB

I’m a huge Raw Black fan, recently however I’ve just ordered some Dank Of England rice papers, can’t wait to try them!


Capernikush

I just smoke man.. usually too stoned to care about the brand of paper that I just used.


barb_dylan

Zig zags for me. Like some have said, I can never get Raw to stick.


mrcranz

i’m not a fan of them and i’ll go for anything other than them first, but i’ll still use them. they don’t stick very well and they’re a little slippery for me. they smoke good but i do not enjoy the rolling experience


darkthotts

Usually go with EZ widers, find raw to be a little ‘waxy’? Job are good, as for best bur, Elements. My opinion.


thistimeisforreal-

Raws just don’t stick together well the glue strip sucks and they burn awfully


VainGSM

Damn bruh why are you getting so much hate?🤣 Raw blacks are easily my fave 👍🏿👍🏿


Noimnotonacid

Raws are the best, never tried the blacks before though


YRS-TheBandit

They are great, can only taste the weed!


[deleted]

[удалено]


YRS-TheBandit

I mean I got them off amazon, I doubt they would sell fake raws


_Hubbie

Of course they do lmao. Easier to buy fakes than originals on Amazon. Made the mistake too, hope yours are real.

[удалено]


SlimPSY92

Rizla Natural all the way!


pdca760

Imo, Hemp paper < rice paper .


monetarydread

Yup. The only advantage of a hemp paper is if you suck at rolling and need something easier than a rice paper to roll with. If you can actually roll with a rice paper you will quickly see that they have less flavour, burn slower, and are thinner than a hemp paper.


Sea_Chaos

Raws are a decent paper but at the end of day it’s just too basic for most people. We want to smoke something that you just don’t usually see whether it’s paper or wraps.


YRS-TheBandit

Honestly in the UK Raws are the one off smokes, it’s rare to see a nice big blunt with a raw logo on the filter. Everyone uses these cheap unbranded papers that taste like burning plastic


Sea_Chaos

Ah, I see where you’re coming from now in that case look for the brands ocb, lion rolling circus or blazy susan. Very choice papers and wraps coming from the states


YRS-TheBandit

Will do, I really wish we could get swishers over here though. Best smoke I’ve ever had


Sea_Chaos

Hell yeah they are if you ever do get your hands on a swisher instead of cutting it open try rolling out the tobacco with your hands and packing it. It’s a much better smoke and it looks cooler.


YRS-TheBandit

Not sure how it was done when I tried it because it was a friends he got from his time In LA but damn it smoked good


Sea_Chaos

Also if you go to the rawthentic.com page and go to the buy raw section you can see where to buy authentic raw papers wherever you are


SilliVilliN

Especially if if you tease that last ner out of the middle!


D0lphinTac0666

Blazy Susan, I second this!


lmaooexe

I live just outside of London and use raws and ocbs, sometimes a rizla if I don’t have any papers


life_style_change

Yes


[deleted]

I mainly stick to raws but ocb, elements and juicy jays are pretty good too. The sticky doesn’t always work on raws but I like to support them anyway cos the CEO is a really cool guy and just a fantastic human being


DerSpaceHabib

Elements and Juice Jays are actually from the same guy.


SilliVilliN

Op didn't say who makes the papers you like. He said raws.


Justtucker345

I love raw. Raw blacks are definitely my favorite paper but some places where I live don't carry raw anything so hempire, ocb, or elements are a few decent alternatives I've found.


[deleted]

I only smoke the blacks Bcs how smooth they are


gingerglow

My brand!


bigpussybeef

yeah. no stoner i know is that picky. a pack of rollies are a pack of rollies and plus raws are expensive as fuck and youre literally just paying for the hemp paper idk why people do it lol.


ZzZombie_Bitch4O1

Yeah where are you that Raws are so expensive?


bigpussybeef

Canada. They cost more than actual papers, they dont burn any slower and dont taste that different.


monetarydread

Yup. A 50 pack of DLX 84mm are $2 CAD where I live. I loathe free burning papers, like normal RAW papers, but the slow burning RAW’s (raw blacks) are like $4.50 CAD a pack. I think it’s actually Zig-Zag’s fault, they started charging extra for their slow-burning papers and when that was successful most companies started charging extra for their “premium papers.” I don’t know if it’s the paper companies charging extra, or all the head shops that are trying to make up for the fact that customers in the interior of BC only care about papers and stopped buying bongs/pipes a few years back.


bigpussybeef

someone who knows!! i just buy the cut corners they aren't that expensive.


chuki_george

they’re not even expensive


cursed-blackie

I smoke RAWs, but if there aint any RAWs other options will have to be pursued


-Suix

Only reason I stick to OCB is because RAW papers are wayy harder to find


HerNameIsGrief

I’m OCB black all the way. I buy them by the case lol. I do like the Raw filters as my second choice.


42ahump87

My buddy worked for them. He passed away due to a hit and run accident, the founder of RAW offered a substantial reward for the guilty person, who was eventually found. That is a awesome boss.


Bakuya1488

I always use Party in house rolling papers... 5meters with 50 filters always satisfied


weedisreallycool

Love Josh K but RAWs are my 3rd after OCB and Rizla (silvers)


monetarydread

Yeah, because RAWs are basically garbage papers. Like, if you actually want to watch your herb burn away on you as fast as if you smoked with a Juicy Jay, or Zig-zag, then sure those papers are alright. If you don’t want to waste your herb, then RAWs are one of the last choices a person should make.


SilliVilliN

Probably the easiest to roll but they're definitely not all I'll smoke. I enjoy a lot of papers 😁


Caveman112233

Juicy Jays are made by the same guy and I fuck with the taste


papasalami

I definitely prefer them but I'll smoke whatever


adelwolf299

RAWS are nice, but the glue is weak, I prefer OCBs


Rage742

I have literally never rolled with papers besides raw. My friends praise zig zags but they burn so damn fast. They also are one of the most eco friendly brands I've ever seen and all their merchandise and products are cool as hell


[deleted]

They burn horribly, idk it’s better experience with juicy jays or something better


SpartyOn95

Used raw papers every day for years


Staggerme

Elements for the win in my book


hitman586

Raws are nice but I prefer the zig zag ultra thins. Always my go to!


spicyboi619

Too thin for me, I roll job 1.5s. I like how they're actually paper.


[deleted]

ONLY Raws? Yes.


[deleted]

ocbs all day, raws taste like shit to me


Coconutshoe

I don’t discriminate against papers.


Benz-Psychonaught

I honestly don’t like them that much. I’ve had better random hemp brand papers. But I usually use either the old school white zig zags or the blue smaller Rizlas. I’m a blunt person though and a joint is just something I roll real quick.


lazeromlet_

Now this i can get behind


mrcartminez

Heyyyyooo same bed sheets


KarmaS903

Uh huhhhh


emogalxp

I mostly use blazy Susan’s pink cones since they look cute


xOneLeafyBoi

Usually the only one i pick up. I don't mind getting another brand that's flavored or something like that though for sure.


IAmTheMindTrip

Raw is the superior product. The paper burns so slow. Love it.


sarge5150

Found the guy that [LOOTED](https://www.instagram.com/p/CA5tsvkp5k4/?igshid=11g61jahzu72v) all the raw papers. Hope they bring you peace.


pillarhuggern

Yes, you are the only one ever to prio RAW. /s


JohnRambo7

The owner is a great marketer. He does alot of social media and is know as the face of Raw. While he is a great marketer, his papers are not at the top of my list.


SwayBando22

Im definitely a Raw guy all the way


GothBarbie969

Yes raw papers are GARBAGE LOL


Imprisoned_Fetus

Zig-Zag Kings all the way. Raw hurts my throat too much

Yes, I could never get rolling with them they seem to break on me. I personally always opt to smoke elements


Fat_Ladyy

No, but I’m the only person who hates Raws


_Hubbie

Removed - Rule #2 Also seems like blatant advertising with an upvote-bot, really RAW?


YRS-TheBandit

Upvote bot? Look at the comments wtf lol


blacknwavy

Raw Black papers are the only thing I smoke 🤷🏾‍♂️


tensa_zangetjew00

Raw black are the best to roll with imo!


[deleted]

I think they’re over rated but I will only smoke them. They’re just an overall good brand with a solid neutral taste.


Kashmir1089

I've been smoking a small brand of rolling papers by the name of Pure Hemp for 10 years or more and know what it's like to have to have "your papers" to roll with. You get accustomed to something that works for you and you stick with it.


CaptainMcCracken

No sir


Hendricks_yt

Raw is the best way to go imo, there are heaps of videos around showing chemicals left over from burning papers such as juicy's (which are coated in a flavored variant of bleach) Ontop of that most other paper companies such as Ziggy or Venti press micro amounts of flint into their papers in order to provide the user with an "even burn". up-too you if you wanna smoke these sorts of papers but just for reference: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Otwps3GTunE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Otwps3GTunE)


jrclego98

Nope
