Rolling papers

Rolling papers are small sheets or leaves of paper which are sold for rolling ones own cigarettes either by hand or with a rolling machine. When rolling a cigarette, one fills the rolling paper with tobacco, shag or sometimes illicit substances. They are most commonly made with hemp, flax or rice as a base material. The basic design of a single paper is a long rectangle with a narrow strip of glue or gum all along one of the long edges. Longer, rice-based rolling papers are also often used to make spliffs or used by connoisseurs for the finest possible cigarette. Rolling papers are also called skins or rollys, but the term skinning up refers solely to the act of rolling a spliff. Newer rolling papers are available in various flavors. This is said to enhance the smoking experience. The latest rolling papers are unbleached with a translucent brown color. These unbleached papers provide a more natural smoking experience similar to using a natural tobacco. Rolling papers have experienced a resurgence of popularity because in many countries it is less expensive to roll your own cigarette then it is to purchase a machine-made cigarette.
