Pre-rolled cones are a great way to enjoy perfect joints, quickly and effortlessly. Although they may lack the character of a hand-rolled joint, you will never be left endlessly fiddling around with a failed joint. Pre-rolls just work. However, there are so many different kinds of pre-rolls that it can be hard to decide what to use.
Pre-rolls differ mostly by size and material. Our list contains everything from a standard 1 ¼ pre-roll to a giant one-foot-long cone. Materials used for the rolls may include hemp paper, palm tree leaves, wood pulp, rice paper, and more. When some companies are not clear about what their rolling paper is made from, it can be hard to trust the rest of the industry. That’s why we decided to gather some info about the top pre-rolls that are for sale today, so you can make an informed decision next time you’re at the smoke shop.
Today, let’s take a look at some different types of pre-rolls available in 2021. We will include the basics, as well as alternative styles and materials.
These cones are your standard-issue rolling papers in a pre-rolled form. If you like reliable, time-tested products, then Zig-Zags will certainly get the job done. Nothing about them is particularly stellar, but you can find the cones at any smoke shop and you’ll always know what to expect from them. Zig-Zag’s Unbleached Cones are made from natural fibers and include a crush-proof box to store your rolls on-the-go.
King Palm has made some big innovations in the industry over the past few years. Most notably, their Cordia Leaf Pre-Rolled Cones have been able to provide a tobacco-free alternative to blunt wraps that burn just as heavy and slow. King Palm takes another unique step by outfitting every leaf cone with a corn husk filter tip. These filter tips have extremely small holes that allow for a smooth draw without any plant matter sneaking through. All in all, King Palm provides one of the most elevated smoking experiences on the list, combining convenience and luxury in the perfect way.
The RAWket launcher is more than just a preroll. A more accurate description might be “pre-roll experience,” as the product includes 20 pre-rolled cones in seven different sizes. To smoke them all in one evening, even with a small group, is a considerable challenge. The set begins with the modest Lean Cones (holding less than a gram of flower) before making its way up to the laughably-large Supernatural Cones (with a length of 12 inches). You might need to devote a whole weekend to conquering the RAWket Launcher challenge!
Juicy Jay’s flavored cones are made from their signature rolling papers, complete with juicy flavors and fruit-shaped prints. Dubbed the Juicy Jones, the fun flavors include Grape, Blackberry, Blueberry, and Watermelon (there are dozens of more flavors available in the form of non-cone rolling papers). Their papers are made from a pure hemp base and soy-based ink for printing.
Cyclones are known for their tobacco cones and wraps. Lately, they have been producing natural pure hemp cones that smoke like their tobacco counterparts: slow and heavy. The cones come in a variety of flavors, including Grape, Strawberry, and Natural. They have a long history in the rolling paper business, introducing innovations like their clear cones and a multitude of flavor options.
High Hemp Organic Wraps have been available for a while, but they only recently started offering them in cone form. Their high quality and unique addition of low doses of CBD to some wraps make them worth checking out. The organic hemp cones are made from sustainably grown European hemp before being imported from the Netherlands. They are certified non-GMO, tobacco-free, and organic.
Blazy Susan is known for one thing: pink rolling papers. These pink cones stick to the business model, as they utilize the familiar pink rolling papers and feature a Blazy Susan logo on the filter tip. The cones are made from wood pulp and provide a slow burn with no added taste. These are definitely manufactured for style rather than to provide the best smoke. Unless you need to roll flashy joints, there are much better options on our list in regards to the quality of the smoking experience.
Elements has the most popular rice paper brand. Their ultra-thin papers have some benefits over the more popular hemp papers, most notably with the lower amount of ash that they produce. Their ingredients list is very short: rice makes up the paper, while sugar is used for the gum strip. When it burns, only a small amount of ash is left behind by the caramelized sugar. Additionally, a criss-cross watermark prevents the cones from running and promotes a smooth and even burn.
Tyson Ranch, the cannabis brand of boxer Mike Tyson, and Futurola, the Dutch rolling paper company, teamed up to craft this deluxe blunt cone. The wrap is infused with natural terpenes from Mike Tyson’s favorite cannabis strain, The Toad (which commonly tests for over 40% THC and features notes of cinnamon, hops, and orange). The blunt cone comes in a reusable glass tube to preserve its freshness. This is one of the best-tasting pre-rolls on our list, but that quality comes with a higher price.
This is another premium option, as Shine’s brand revolves around gold-infused rolling papers. A slow-burning hemp blend, these papers are infused with 24k food-grade gold for a more luxurious smoking experience. The gold does not reach temperatures high enough to smoke or vaporize, so the precious flakes end up in your ashtray. However, the amount of gold is minuscule, so don’t expect a payday at the end of this joint. This pre-roll is best when enjoyed with others; the gold joints are quite a hit at parties.
Smoke shops can be confusing at first glance, as they often feature rows of seemingly identical rolling papers and pre-rolled cones. Now that you have a better idea of the differences between popular rolling paper brands, you should feel well-equipped to go pick out the perfect pre-rolls for you.
