Zig Zag Cigarette Roller 70mm Carton

The Zig-Zag 70mm Cigarette Roller is a hand-crank rolling machine built for smokers who want consistent, tight rolls without the learning curve of hand-rolling. If you've ever fumbled through crumpled papers or lopsided smokes, this thing fixes that. One pass through the roller and you've got a uniform cigarette that actually burns evenly.

Key Benefits

• Consistent rolls every time — the roller mechanism ensures even tobacco distribution and uniform tightness, so no more loose ends or runs
• Less wasted tobacco — precise rolling means you're using what you load, not losing half of it to the rolling tray
• Faster than hand-rolling — crank out a smoke in seconds once you get the hang of it, no finesse required
• 70mm size fits standard papers — works with most regular-width rolling papers you already have
• Durable construction — Zig-Zag's been making these for decades because the design holds up to daily use

Best For

This roller is made for smokers who roll their own regularly but don't want to spend five minutes per cigarette. If you're rolling more than a few a day, the consistency and speed pay off. Also solid for anyone learning to roll — it teaches you what a proper tight roll feels like without the trial and error.

How It Works

The roller uses two small drums wrapped in a fabric or rubber belt. You load your tobacco evenly between the drums, nestle your paper in the gap with the gum strip facing you, then crank the rollers. The drums spin the tobacco into a tight cylinder while pulling the paper through. Lick the gum strip, give it one more crank, and you've got a finished smoke.

Tips for best results: don't overload the chamber — less tobacco rolls tighter. Spread it evenly across the length of the roller so you don't end up with a fat middle and skinny ends. If the paper gets stuck, you're probably forcing it; ease up and let the rollers do the work. After a few rolls, you'll figure out the right amount of tobacco for your preferred tightness.

Clean the rollers every so often by brushing off stuck bits of tobacco. Residue buildup can make the drums slip or cause uneven rolls. A quick wipe-down after heavy use keeps things smooth.

Specifications

What's Included

One 70mm Zig-Zag Cigarette Roller (papers sold separately)

Fit & Compatibility

This roller is sized for 70mm papers — the standard width for most cigarette-style rolls. It works with Zig-Zag papers, OCB, RAW, or any other brand that matches the width. Won't fit king-size or wide papers without forcing it, so stick to standard sizes.

If you're rolling with herb instead of tobacco, the same rules apply: grind it fine, spread it evenly, don't overstuff. Coarser grinds can jam the rollers or create lumpy cigarettes.

FAQ

What size papers does this roller use?

Standard 70mm rolling papers. Most regular-width cigarette papers on the market will fit. King-size or wide papers are too big for this roller.

Can I use this for hand-rolling herb?

Yeah, it works for herb as long as it's finely ground. Chunky pieces will jam the rollers or create uneven burns. A grinder helps get the consistency right.

How tight do the cigarettes come out?

Pretty tight if you don't overfill it. The key is even distribution — spread your tobacco or herb across the full length of the roller and don't pack it in. Too much material makes a loose, fat roll that burns fast.

Does it come with papers?

Nope, papers are sold separately. You'll need to grab a pack of 70mm rolling papers if you don't already have some.

How do I clean it?

Brush off stuck tobacco bits with a dry brush or cloth. Don't soak it or use solvents — the fabric belt can degrade. Just wipe down the drums and shake out loose debris after heavy use.

Is this better than hand-rolling?

For consistency and speed, yeah. Hand-rolling gives you more control over tightness and shape once you're good at it, but this roller eliminates the learning curve and saves time if you're rolling multiple smokes in a session.

Will this work with king-size papers?

Not really. King-size papers are wider than 70mm and will bunch up or hang over the edges of the roller. Stick to standard-width papers for this model.
