Zig-Zag Silver Regular 70mm Rolling Papers

Thin, slow burning regular papers that suit experienced rollers more than beginners.

The short version

Buy it if
  • People who roll regular size, 70mm cigarettes
  • Rollers who want a thin, slow burning paper
  • Buyers who want to stock up with a multipack
Skip it if
  • You are new to rolling and want a thicker, more forgiving paper
  • You roll 1 1/4, king size or cones
  • You want unbleached or hemp papers

What owners like

  • Burns slowly and evenly compared with thicker papers
  • Thin enough to add little taste of its own
  • Gum seals consistently
  • Long established brand that is easy to find

Common complaints

  • Thin paper is harder to roll for beginners than thick papers
  • Regular 70mm size is too small for anyone used to 1 1/4 or king size

What it does

Thin, slow burning regular size (70mm) rolling papers with a natural gum arabic seal, sold in booklets of 50 leaves; this pack has 10 booklets, and the same Amazon listing is now sold as a larger box.

  • Thinner than Zig-Zag's classic white and blue papers
  • Slow, controlled burn compared with the free burning blue papers
  • Thin line of natural gum arabic for the seal
  • Small booklets that fit in a pocket or tin
  • Sold singly or in multipacks

A sensible pick for people who roll regular size cigarettes and want a thin, slow burning paper from a long running brand. The trade-off is that thin papers are harder to handle than Zig-Zag's thicker white or blue papers, so beginners may find them fiddly, and published specs for paper weight and fiber vary between sellers.
