What makes good papers?

"Good" papers are not recognized by the hype, but by a few simple basics. If you want to buy papers, pay attention above all to:

• Thickness: Extra thin papers are often more flavor-neutral and feel "lighter".
• Material: Many prefer unbleached papers or alternative fibers (e.g. hemp/bamboo).
• Burning behavior: Even, calm burning simply feels more relaxed in everyday life.
• Gumming: Natural gumming (e.g. with a plant-based adhesive strip) is a common quality feature.
• Format: King Size Slim is the standard, but rolls give you maximum freedom.

Tip: The best Longpapers are often those that work consistently – and fit your style.

Longpapers & King Size Slim: the standard

Longpapers (mostly King Size Slim) are the standard for many, because they fit easily into everyday life. In the "Solo" variant you decide yourself, whether you combine them with classic tips or activated carbon filters. Which filter suits your paper is shown by our activated carbon filter comparison by size and brand.

If you want exactly this freedom: Discover Longpapers Solo.

Popular examples (King Size Slim) are, for example: GIZEH Super Fine King Size, RAW Black Organic Hemp King Size or OCB Bamboo King Size.

For Solo papers you still need tips. Pre-cut blocks save the cutting, such as the OCB Premium Precut Filter Tips (32x) or the colorful ELEMENTS Rainbow Precut Filter Tips (50x).
