Rolling Papers

Cigarette paper is made from thin and lightweight "rag fibers" (nonwood plant fibers) such as flax, h**p, sisal, rice straw, and esparto. The paper is available in rolls and rectangular sheets of varying sizes, and has a narrow strip of glue along one long edge. It has a high filler content and a basis weight of 18-28 g/m². To control the smoking properties, this paper has a porosity that is suited to the type of to***co and contains additives that regulate burning.
