Elements Red (Hemp) KS Slim (50 pks a Box 33L)

These king size slim rolling papers are made from hemp paper and are supplied as a full box of 50 packs. They suit anyone who rolls their own tobacco and wants a longer, narrower paper without buying one booklet at a time. Express Highs stocks them in the rolling papers, tips and filters range of its headshop.

Design and build

King size slim is a long, narrow format. A king size paper is noticeably longer than a standard single-wide paper, and the slim cut keeps the width modest. The result is a long, fairly slender roll that uses a moderate amount of tobacco. Hemp is a well-established papermaking fibre, and hemp papers are often chosen by people who prefer them to wood-pulp alternatives. They tend to have a slightly different feel in the fingers, so it can take a few rolls to settle into a rhythm.

Choosing the right papers

• Material: hemp paper.
• Size: king size, in a slim width.
• Format: papers, sold as a box of 50 packs.
• Best suited to: hand-rolled tobacco cigarettes.

If you are comparing formats, a longer paper gives you more room to work with when rolling and a longer smoking time per roll. A shorter paper is quicker and easier for beginners to handle. Slim widths suit people who like a tidy, thinner roll, while wider papers hold more tobacco and are often a little more forgiving.

Storage and everyday use

Rolling papers keep best when they are dry and flat. Store them away from damp, direct heat and strong smells, since paper absorbs moisture and odours easily. A drawer or a closed tin is usually enough. Keeping the booklets away from loose tobacco crumbs and from pockets where they can be bent also helps them roll cleanly.

A box of 50 packs is a practical choice if you roll regularly and prefer to keep a spare supply at home. It also works well for shared households or for anyone who likes to hand packs to friends. For best results, roll with clean, dry fingers and pair the papers with a suitable filter tip or a rolling tray from the same section of the shop.
