Rolling Papers, Blunts, or Wraps: Which One Is Best for You?
Rolling up is personal. Whether you swear by classic papers, prefer a juicy wrap, or can’t pass up a traditional blunt, your method says a lot about your style. At Cloud 9, we know that not all rolls are created equal—so let’s break down the pros and cons of each to help you find your perfect match.
Rolling Papers: Classic and Clean
Best For: The purist, the casual smoker, or anyone who appreciates a smooth, light smoke.
Rolling papers are the OGs of the smoking game. Made from materials like wood pulp, hemp, or rice, they’re lightweight and offer the most control over your roll. If you like tasting the full profile of your flower without added flavors or harshness, papers are a solid bet.
Pros:
- Easy to roll once you get the technique down.
- Great for preserving flavor.
- Available in eco-friendly, unbleached options (shoutout to RAW).
- Tons of options—flavored, ultra-thin, transparent, and even gold papers if you’re feeling fancy.
Cons:
- Can burn quickly if rolled loosely.
- Not ideal for big sessions or extended smokes.
- Might take some practice for perfect rolls.

Blunt Wraps: Bold and Flavorful
Best For: Smokers who like a rich, slow burn with a hit of flavor—and those who don’t mind the ritual.
Blunts are all about the experience. Usually made from tobacco leaf or hemp alternatives, blunt wraps bring a little punch to your session. They burn slower and give off that distinct aroma that’s perfect for more social settings.
Pros:
- Long, slow-burning sessions.
- More durable for beginners—less tearing than papers.
- Bold flavor and thick smoke clouds.
- Easy to pack with larger quantities.
Cons:
- Tobacco wraps can be harsh or not ideal for those avoiding nicotine.
- May overpower the flavor of your bud.
- Take a bit longer to prep and seal right.

Wraps: The Sweet Spot Between Both
Best For: People who want the ease of a paper with the performance of a blunt.
Wraps are often made from hemp, palm leaf, or other herbal blends—and they’ve exploded in popularity for being tobacco-free. They offer that blunt-style smoking experience with a smoother flavor profile and often come pre-rolled into cones for quick, easy use.
Pros:
- Tobacco-free options for a healthier experience.
- Pre-rolled cones = no rolling required.
- Tons of flavors and sizes available.
- Great airflow and smooth pull.
Cons:
- Can still overpower delicate flower flavors.
- May need a little practice if rolling from scratch.
