Papers Vs Cigars

By Doobie Ozwald

When it comes to papers vs cigars, just know, I grew up in the 80’s. In my era, everybody smoked what they called joints. They were small papers, sometimes they called them white boys. This this weed had a very distinct smell. You can always tell when your granddads, uncles, grandmas or the older people who had a house party or you were near a house joint. The robust flavors and smells we have now, didn’t exist. I have not smelled that scent in a long time. But, around the time I became a teen and started smoking, everybody smoked out of cigars.  

I never smoked joints out of the Topps papers. We smoked what they call blunts. You know, there was Garcia Vegas, there was Fronto leaf, swisher cigars and all these different kinds of popular cigars to choose from. We smoked cigars for years. At this stage in my life, I actually don’t roll with cigars at all. It’s been 8 years for me. Personally, I would say papers. Definitively papers. Papers specifically cause they’re all natural, organic, and they don’t have any additives. For me that’s a game changer because you take away any chemicals that could’ve been put on it.

Economically…

Forget the health perspective, from an economic perspective; papers or even a no brainer simply for the fact that a pack of papers and a pack of cigars cost 2 bucks. A pack of cigars may get you 4 cigars for those 2 bucks. Whereas for a pack of papers, for that same 2 bucks you’ll have 32 papers, so. For two bucks you could have 4 cigars and smoke four times, or you can buy 32 papers and smoke 32 times.

Economically, choosing between papers vs cigars is a no brainer. My papers of choice to smoke out of is Raw. I purchase mine online in bulk and for roughly 30 bucks, buy enough papers to smoke for an entire year. The biggest issue I think people have with papers for most part is they don’t know how to roll them. To learn how to do that, I suggest you read our article on how to roll papers.
