The Zig Zag 1¼ Size Unbleached Cones Carton gives you 144 pre-rolled cones ready to fill — enough to stock a dispensary counter, supply a smoke circle for months, or keep your personal stash fully loaded without running out. These unbleached cones burn slow and even, made from natural fibers that let you taste what you're smoking instead of processed paper. Each carton contains 24 packs of 6 cones, all stored in crush-proof slide boxes that actually survive being tossed in a bag or shoved in a drawer.
Why unbleached cones hit different
- Cleaner flavor profile — no chlorine bleaching means fewer chemicals between you and your herb
- Slow, even burn — natural fiber blend doesn't canoe or run down one side
- Zero rolling skill required — fill it, pack it, twist the end, done
- Crush-proof slide boxes — 24 individual packs survive pockets, purses, and glove compartments
- Bulk pricing that makes sense — 144 cones means you're paying pennies per smoke
- 1¼ size sweet spot — bigger than singles, more manageable than king size for solo sessions
Best for
Dispensaries and smoke shops that move through pre-roll cones fast will appreciate having 24 retail-ready packs in one carton. But this isn't just a B2B play — if you're someone who rolls daily and hates the ritual of actually rolling, buying in bulk saves time and money. Event organizers, party hosts, and anyone tired of making late-night cone runs will get it. The individual 6-packs also make solid gifts or resale units if you're supplying a group.
How these work
Each cone comes pre-formed with a crutch (filter tip) already in place. You grind your flower, funnel it into the open end, use the included packing stick or your finger to tamp it down, then twist the tip closed. That's it. No licking papers, no struggling with tucking, no wasted herb falling out the sides while you fumble with the roll.
The unbleached paper burns at a consistent rate because the natural fibers haven't been chemically processed to uniform thickness. Counterintuitively, this slight variation actually helps — the cone doesn't burn faster on one side like some ultra-thin papers do. You get an even cherry from tip to crutch.
The 1¼ size holds roughly 0.5 to 0.75 grams depending on how tight you pack. Loose pack burns faster and smoother; tight pack burns slower but can restrict airflow if you overdo it. Find your preference and stick with it.

Unbleached vs. bleached — the real difference
Bleached papers go through a chlorine or oxygen process to achieve that bright white look. It doesn't necessarily make them dangerous, but it does add processing steps and chemicals that some smokers prefer to avoid. Unbleached papers skip that step entirely, keeping the natural tan color of the plant fibers.
The practical difference? Unbleached tends to have a slightly earthier taste — or more accurately, less of a taste at all. Some people swear they can tell the difference blind. Others can't. But if you're spending money on quality flower with specific terpene profiles, it makes sense to not filter that experience through processed paper.
Storage tips
Keep the carton somewhere dry and room temperature. Paper absorbs moisture from the air, which can make cones burn unevenly or tear when you try to pack them. The slide boxes help, but if you live somewhere humid, consider tossing a silica packet in your storage spot. Avoid direct sunlight — it won't ruin the cones, but UV can degrade the gum line over time.
Once you open a pack, try to use those cones within a few weeks. They won't go bad, but fresher cones pack and burn better than ones that have been sitting open for months.
Frequently asked questions
How much flower fits in a 1¼ cone?
Roughly half a gram to three-quarters of a gram, depending on your grind consistency and how tight you pack. A medium grind with a gentle pack usually lands around 0.6 grams.
Do these come with a packing tool?
Yes. Each 6-pack includes a small wooden packing stick. It's basic but it works. If you lose it, a chopstick, pen cap, or the back of a small spoon does the same job.
What's the difference between these and Zig Zag's regular white cones?
The paper itself. Regular cones are bleached for a white appearance. These unbleached cones use the same natural fibers but skip the bleaching process, resulting in a tan color and what many consider a cleaner taste.
Can I resell the individual packs?
Absolutely. The 24 packs are designed for retail display. Each pack has full branding and looks professional on a counter or in a display case. Check your local regulations on tobacco and smoking accessory sales.
Are these good for beginners who can't roll?
That's exactly who these are for. Pre-rolled cones eliminate the learning curve entirely. If you can use a funnel and gently tap something down, you can use these. Most people get the hang of it in one or two attempts.
How do I prevent canoeing?
Canoeing happens when one side burns faster than the other, usually from uneven packing or lighting. Pack your cone evenly — don't just dump flower in and twist. Light the entire tip, rotating the cone as you apply flame. The even burn rate of unbleached paper helps, but technique matters too.
How should I store unused cones long-term?
Keep them in the original slide boxes, stored somewhere cool and dry. A drawer away from windows works fine. For humid climates, add a silica gel packet to your storage area. Avoid keeping open packs for more than a few weeks — they'll still work, but fresh cones perform better.
