Pioneering the Natural Paper Movement (Since 1995)
RAW is the brand that revolutionised the rolling paper industry. Before RAW, the market was dominated by bleached white papers treated with chalk and harsh chemicals, sealed with animal‑based or petroleum‑based glues that altered the taste of the smoke. Created in 1995 by Josh Kesselman and officially launched in 2005, RAW was designed from the ground up with a single philosophy: paper should be seen and not tasted. Today, RAW has grown into one of the most trusted and recognised rolling paper brands in the world, available in over 100 countries.
Made from the Earth – Not a Factory
The RAW Classic King Size papers are the embodiment of the brand‘s “back to basics” ethos. Instead of cutting down ancient forests, RAW papers are made from a proprietary blend of unbleached flax and hemp fibres – fast‑growing, renewable plants that require no chemical bleaching or chlorine treatment. The signature light‑brown, translucent colour is not artificial; it is the result of the manufacturing process being stopped before chemical brighteners and bleaches are added.
Engineered for the Smoker
Every detail of the RAW Classic paper is engineered to deliver a superior smoking experience:
-
Proprietary CrissCross™ Watermark: A patented watermark pressed into each sheet of paper that acts like a shock absorber, guiding the burn and preventing “runs” or “canoeing” for a smooth, even burn every time.
-
Vegan Acacia Gum Line: The adhesive is made from 100% natural, sustainably harvested sap from Acacia trees in the Ethiopia/Senegal region. It is completely non‑toxic, tasteless, and provides a perfect seal that holds even in cold or humid conditions.
-
Ultra‑Thin and Lightweight: At just 13 g/m², the paper is incredibly thin and translucent, allowing you to taste only the flavour of your tobacco or botanicals, not the paper.
-
Slow‑Burn Formula: The combination of natural hemp/flax fibres and the lack of chemical burn accelerators means the paper burns slowly, evenly, and to the very edge, producing a full line of fine, white ash.
Proudly Made in Alcoy, Spain
RAW‘s papers are manufactured in the historic paper‑making region of Alcoy, Spain – the same region that has supplied the world with fine papers for centuries. RAW‘s state‑of-the-art, eco‑conscious factory uses 100% renewable wind energy to power its operations, aligning with the brand‘s commitment to sustainability.

🔧 How to Use RAW Classic King Size Papers
-
Remove a single paper from the booklet. Hold it up to the light to admire the translucent quality and the CrissCross watermark.
-
Add your fill (tobacco or botanicals) and spread it evenly along the length of the paper.
-
Roll the paper between your fingers, tucking the nearest edge over the fill to form a tight cylinder. The paper‘s flax‑hemp blend is naturally strong and resists tearing.
-
Seal by lightly moistening the Acacia gum line. The gum will seal instantly and hold firmly, even in cold or humid conditions.
-
Enjoy the slow, even, flavour‑forward burn that RAW Classic papers are famous for.
Pro Tip: The CrissCross watermark ensures an even burn. Simply light evenly and smoke – the watermark will guide the burn path to prevent runs.
