ZIG ZAG TERPENE INFUSED HEMP CONES CARTON – SHORTCAKE

The Zig-Zag Terpene Infused Hemp Cones in Shortcake flavor bring dessert-forward sweetness to your pre-roll routine without any of the artificial harshness. Built for smokers who want flavor enhancement that actually complements their flower rather than masking it, these cones come ready to fill straight out of the pack. Each carton delivers 15 packs with 2 cones per pack, giving you 30 total cones for consistent sessions.

Why terpene-infused cones hit different

• Flavor that pairs, not overpowers — The Shortcake profile adds vanilla-sweet notes that blend with your herb's natural terpenes instead of drowning them out
• Skip the rolling entirely — Pre-formed cone shape means you just load, pack, and twist the end closed
• Clean material, no compromises — Premium hemp paper burns evenly without the chemical taste of bleached alternatives
• No tobacco, no nicotine — Pure hemp construction keeps your session free from additives you didn't ask for
• Non-GMO hemp source — For smokers who care about what goes into their papers as much as what goes into them
• Bulk-ready format — Carton packaging makes sense for daily rollers or stocking your shop's counter display

Best for

These cones work well for smokers who appreciate a little flavor enhancement but don't want to deal with wraps or flavored papers that burn weird. The Shortcake terpene blend leans sweet and creamy — think vanilla cake vibes without being candy-like. If you're someone who rolls 2-3 times a day and wants consistency without the ritual of hand-rolling every time, pre-formed cones save real time. Also solid for social settings where you're passing around something that tastes better than a plain hemp cone but doesn't scream "flavored" to everyone in the room.

How to use them

Each cone comes with the filter tip already installed and the paper shaped into a funnel. Grind your flower to a medium consistency — too fine and it'll clog at the tip, too chunky and you'll get uneven burns. Pour your ground herb into the wide end, tapping the cone gently on a flat surface to help it settle toward the bottom. Use a pen, chopstick, or the included packing tool if your cones came with one to lightly tamp down the material every few loads. Don't pack it like you're stuffing a cannon; you want airflow. Once filled to your preferred level, twist the open end closed or fold it over.

The terpene infusion is already in the paper, so you don't need to do anything extra to activate the flavor. It comes through on the inhale, especially in the first half of the session before heavy resin buildup. These burn a bit slower than standard cones because of the hemp paper weight, which works in your favor for longer sessions.

For storage, keep unused cones in the original packaging or a joint tube to prevent them from drying out or absorbing ambient odors. Terpenes are volatile compounds — they'll degrade faster if exposed to heat, light, or open air.

Terpene flavor breakdown

The Shortcake blend uses a curated terpene combination designed to evoke dessert notes without synthetic flavoring agents. You're getting compounds that occur naturally in cannabis and other plants, selected for their aromatic profile. The result leans toward creamy vanilla with subtle sweetness — closer to a bakery smell than candy. It pairs particularly well with strains that already have dessert or creamy terpene profiles like Gelato, Wedding Cake, or anything with Cookies genetics. If you're smoking something earthy or diesel-forward, the Shortcake notes will add contrast rather than complement, which some people prefer.

According to Leafly's terpene guide, terpenes contribute significantly to the overall experience of cannabis consumption, influencing both aroma and the subjective effects of different strains.

Hemp cones vs. other wraps

Hemp paper sits in a middle ground between rice papers and traditional wood pulp. It's thicker than rice, so it's more forgiving if you're new to filling cones or tend to overpack. But it's lighter than blunt wraps, so you're not adding tobacco weight to your session. The burn rate on hemp lands right around where most people want it — slow enough to last, fast enough that you're not relighting constantly.

Compared to unflavored hemp cones, the terpene infusion adds a noticeable but not overwhelming flavor layer. Think of it like the difference between plain water and sparkling water with a hint of fruit — present but not dominating.

Frequently asked questions

What does Shortcake flavor actually taste like?

Creamy vanilla with light sweetness, similar to smelling a bakery rather than eating frosting. It's noticeable on the inhale but doesn't coat your mouth with artificial sweetness. Pairs well with dessert strains.

Are these the same size as regular Zig-Zag cones?

These are standard 1 1/4 size cones, fitting roughly 0.75 to 1 gram depending on how tight you pack. They're not king-size, so if you're looking for party-sized cones, these might feel small.

Do terpene cones get you higher?

The terpenes in the paper are for flavor and aroma, not potency. Any effects come from what you fill them with. The terpene amount in the paper itself is minimal compared to what's in your flower.

How long do these stay fresh in the packaging?

Unopened packs stay good for several months if stored in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Once opened, use within a few weeks for best flavor. Terpenes degrade over time with air exposure.

Can I use these for concentrate-infused pre-rolls?

You can add concentrate to your flower before filling, but don't apply oils or wax directly to the paper — it'll cause uneven burning and potential runs. Layer your concentrate inside the ground herb for best results.

Are these harsh compared to rice papers?

Hemp is thicker than rice paper, so there's slightly more smoke volume per puff. Most people don't find them harsh, but if you're ultra-sensitive to paper smoke, rice might be smoother. The terpene infusion actually helps mask any paper taste.

What other Zig-Zag terpene flavors exist?

Zig-Zag offers several terpene profiles in this line. If Shortcake isn't your speed, look for fruit-forward or more herbal options. Check our rolling papers collection for current availability.
