Educational Guide: RAW Black vs RAW Classic

What Is RAW Black?

RAW Black is the premium tier of the RAW rolling paper range. While RAW Classic is already ultra-thin by industry standards, RAW Black takes this further by double-pressing the paper during manufacturing — compressing the fibres to create an even thinner, more translucent sheet. The result is a paper that burns more slowly, produces less ash, and interferes even less with the flavour of your tobacco.

What Does Double-Pressed Mean?

Double-pressing is a manufacturing process where the paper is passed through rollers twice rather than once, compressing the fibres more tightly. This reduces the paper's thickness significantly while maintaining its structural integrity. The result is a paper that is noticeably thinner and lighter than a standard rolling paper, with a slower, more even burn rate.

What Is the 1¼ Size?

1¼ (one and a quarter) is a paper size that sits between a standard single wide and a king size. It is wider than a regular single wide, allowing for a slightly larger roll with more tobacco capacity, while remaining shorter than a king size. It is a popular format in the US and increasingly common in the UK market, particularly among experienced rollers who prefer a mid-size roll.

What Is the Connoisseur Format?

RAW's Connoisseur format combines rolling papers and filter tips in a single pack, secured with a natural rubber band. This eliminates the need to carry separate tips and papers, making it ideal for on-the-go use. Each Connoisseur pack contains 50 papers and 50 tips — a complete rolling kit in one compact package. For tips sold separately, see RAW Original Filter Tips.

Why Is Alcoy, Spain Significant?

Alcoy (Alcoi) in the Valencia region of Spain has been the global centre of rolling paper manufacturing for over 150 years. The town's unique combination of water quality, climate, and centuries of papermaking expertise made it the natural home of the rolling paper industry. RAW papers are manufactured in Alcoy using traditional methods alongside modern quality controls, giving them a provenance that resonates strongly with discerning smokers.
