RAW Classic 1 ¼ Rolling Papers
$ 19.99
RAW Classic 1¼ Rolling Papers are the standard-size rolling papers that have been a staple in the smoking community for centuries. These unbleached, natural papers are built for everyday rollers who want a clean burn without added chemicals or dyes. Each pack holds 50 papers with RAW's signature crisscross watermark that keeps your roll burning even, not racing down one side while the other side sits there looking sad.
Key Benefits
- Burn clean without chalk or dye — 100% plant fibers mean you're not inhaling bleach or filler additives
- No sideburn or canoeing — the crisscross imprint controls airflow so your roll burns evenly from light to roach
- Natural gum line that actually sticks — water-based adhesive holds without tasting like licking an envelope
- The original size that started it all — 1¼ papers (also called Spanish size) have been the go-to dimensions for hundreds of years
- Thin enough to taste your flower — ultra-thin construction means the paper stays out of the way
- Bulk box of 24 packs — keeps you stocked for months or makes splitting with friends easy
Best For
Daily smokers who roll their own and want papers that don't mess with the flavor. Great for people who've tried thicker papers and ended up tasting more paper than flower. If you're rolling 2-3 joints a day, the 24-pack box means you're not running to the shop every other week.
How to Use Them
These are standard rolling papers — if you know how to roll, you already know how to use these. The 1¼ size gives you enough room for a decent personal joint without being oversized. The gum line runs along one long edge; a quick lick and seal is all it takes.
The crisscross watermark isn't just branding — it's functional. The pattern controls how air moves through the paper as it burns, which keeps the cherry moving evenly instead of racing down one side. You'll notice it most when you're halfway through and the burn line is still straight.
Store them somewhere dry. Humidity makes any rolling paper harder to work with, and these are thin enough that moisture really shows. Keep the booklet closed when you're not using it.
Rolling Tips
Because these are thin and unbleached, they're a little more delicate than thicker papers. If you're heavy-handed or new to rolling, take your time with the tuck. The payoff is a cleaner taste and a slower, more controlled burn. Break up your flower fine and evenly — clumps and stems will tear through thin paper faster.
If you're used to flavored or ultra-thick papers, RAW Classics will feel different. They don't mask anything. That's the point. You taste what you rolled, not the paper.

Why 1¼ Size?
The 1¼ size has been around for centuries and became the standard because it's big enough for a satisfying personal joint but small enough to roll without wasting flower. It's not a king-size for group sessions, and it's not a tiny single-hitter — it's the middle ground that works for most situations.
If you're rolling for yourself or splitting with one other person, this is the size. Bigger papers like king-size are great for parties, but they're overkill for solo sessions. Smaller papers (like 1.0 size) can feel cramped if you're trying to roll anything substantial. RAW's 1¼ papers hit the sweet spot.
FAQ
Are these papers bleached or treated with chemicals?
No. RAW Classic papers are unbleached and made from 100% plant fibers. There's no added chalk, no dyes, and no whitening agents. That's why they have that natural tan color instead of bright white. The gum line is water-based and doesn't contain harsh adhesives.
What's the crisscross watermark actually do?
It's not just decoration. The crisscross pattern is engineered to control airflow as the paper burns. This keeps the cherry moving evenly across the paper instead of running down one side (canoeing). You'll notice it most on longer rolls where uneven burns usually show up.
How many papers come in this box?
Each box includes 24 packs. Each pack has 50 papers. That's 1,200 total sheets. If you roll one joint a day, this box lasts over three years. More realistically, if you're rolling 3-4 a day, you're looking at about a year of papers.
Are these good for beginners?
They're thin, so they require a slightly lighter touch than thicker papers. If you're just learning to roll, you might tear a few while you figure out the tuck. But once you get the hang of it, the thin construction makes for a better smoke. Start with a small amount of flower (easier to control) and take your time with the seal.
Do these papers have a flavor?
No. RAW Classic papers are unflavored. They're designed to stay out of the way so you taste your flower, not the paper. If you want flavored papers, RAW makes a separate line for that, but these are just pure plant fiber with no additives.
What's the difference between RAW Classic and RAW Organic?
RAW Organic papers are made from organically grown fibers and are slightly thinner. RAW Classic (these) are unbleached but not certified organic, and they're a bit more forgiving if you're still getting comfortable with rolling. Both burn clean and even, but Organic papers are the premium option for people who want the thinnest possible paper.
Can I use these with a rolling machine?
Yes. 1¼ size papers work with most standard rolling machines designed for that size. The thin material feeds through machines just fine. Just make sure your machine is sized for 1¼ papers (78mm) and not king-size.
