RAW Guide: Classic, Black & Black Organic Hemp Compared
Nick Will
RAW stands for unbleached papers, custom sizes, and accessories with a natural aesthetic. At Skunaby, you'll find RAW Classic, RAW Black Classic, RAW Black Organic Hemp, convenient combo packs, Paper Rolls, and selected wooden and metal tools.
But which RAW papers are right for your setup? This guide shows you the differences between Classic, Black, and Black Organic Hemp, explains the benefits of rolls, and helps you put together a RAW setup that suits your style.
RAW at Skunaby: More Than Classic Papers
>The RAW Collection combines three paper variants with flexible size options and matching accessories. This lets you choose a classic daily setup, opt for a particularly fine variant, or consciously create a unique setup with organic hemp papers, a wooden tray, and a grinder.
The most important question is not which RAW paper is generally the best. What matters is which material, paper thickness, and size suit your personal handling.
RAW Classic, Black & Black Organic Hemp Compared
>The three RAW variants differ primarily in paper character, material, and how they fit into your setup. This overview helps you get started:
| Variant | Character | Suits You Well If... |
|---|---|---|
| RAW Classic | Classic, unbleached, and balanced | you are looking for straightforward RAW paper for everyday use. |
| RAW Black Classic | Particularly fine and refined | you prefer lighter paper with a clear RAW aesthetic. |
| RAW Black Organic Hemp | Fine paper made from unrefined hemp | choosing natural materials is particularly important to you. |
If you want to compare paper types and sizes across brands, you'll find additional guidance in our Papers Guide.
RAW Classic Papers: The Straightforward Starting Point
>RAW Classic Papers are the classic choice for a simple, natural setup. They are ideal if you are looking for a proven King Size Slim paper and want to remain flexible when choosing a filter.
Solo papers give you the freedom to combine them with classic tips or activated carbon filters in your preferred size. This makes RAW Classic a great starting point for anyone who wants to put together their own setup.
If you prefer to have your paper and matching tips together in a booklet, the RAW Classic Papers + Filter Combo Pack is the more convenient choice.
RAW Black Classic Papers: Particularly Fine and Refined
>RAW Black Classic Papers are the particularly fine variant in the RAW selection at Skunaby. They suit a minimalist setup and are designed for anyone who consciously prefers a lightweight King Size Slim paper.
The fine paper makes slow, clean rolling worthwhile. If you currently use RAW Classic and want to try a finer alternative, RAW Black Classic is the natural next step.
RAW Black Organic Hemp: Fine Paper Made from Organic Hemp
>RAW Black Organic Hemp Papers combine the fine Black line with unrefined hemp as a material base. They are ideal for anyone who consciously wants to choose a natural, unbleached paper variant.
The choice between Black Classic and Black Organic Hemp is not a matter of right or wrong: Black Classic is the fine classic variant, while Black Organic Hemp takes a similar approach with a clear hemp base. Try out which material and handling feel right for your setup.
Black Organic Hemp paper is also available pre-rolled: The RAW Black Organic Hemp King Size Cones come in a 20-pack.
Solo Papers or RAW Papers + Tips?
>Whether you buy papers individually or as a combo pack depends mainly on how freely you want to design your setup.
Solo Papers
You freely combine your paper with your preferred tips or activated carbon filters. This is ideal if you want to test different sizes or customize your setup individually.
Papers + Tips
The paper and matching filter tips come together in a booklet. This is convenient for on the go and for anyone who wants to complete their setup without having to search for additional items.
The RAW Classic Papers + Filter Combo Pack brings 32 King Size Slim papers and 32 matching tips together.
RAW Paper Rolls: You Determine the Length
>With RAW Classic Paper Rolls, you are not limited to the fixed length of a booklet. You cut off exactly the amount that suits your desired size.
Rolls are particularly useful if you like to vary your sizes or consciously determine your own paper length. For a fixed, recurring King Size Slim setup, a classic booklet is often the more straightforward choice. For more flexibility, however, the RAW Roll offers greater freedom.
RAW Cones: Pre-Rolled Instead of Rolling Yourself
>Cones are pre-rolled King Size papers with filter tips that you simply fill and pack. RAW offers two variants:
- RAW Ethereal: unbleached and extra fine (13 g/m²), 3 cones plus a paper poker, also available as a 32-pack. RAW Ethereal King Size Cones
- RAW Black Organic Hemp: made from organic hemp, 20 cones per pack. RAW Black Organic Hemp Cones
The RAW Setup: Tray, Storage & Grinder
>RAW at Skunaby doesn't stop at papers. With the right accessories, individual products become an organized, functional setup for home.
RAW Wooden Rolling Tray
The acacia wood tray provides a firm surface for papers, filters, and accessories, and brings a warm, natural look to the setup.
