RAW vs. OCB vs. Vibes: The Ultimate Rolling Paper Comparison
Every paper rolls different. Here's our honest breakdown of the three most popular brands we carry at Mister Smokes.
RAW — The People's Choice
RAW is the most popular rolling paper brand in the world, and for good reason. Unbleached, unrefined, and made with natural plant fibers.
- RAW Classic: The original. Natural brown, medium thickness, easy to roll
- RAW Black: Ultra thin — the thinnest RAW paper. Triple-pressed for a slow, even burn
- RAW Organic Hemp: Made from organic hemp. Slightly thicker than Black, very smooth
- Best For: Everyone. Whether you're a beginner or a veteran roller, RAW has a paper for you
OCB — The Connoisseur's Pick
French-made since 1918. OCB papers are known for their ultra-thin, slow-burning quality. A favorite among experienced rollers who prioritize a clean smoke.
- OCB Premium: Classic black pack. Thin, smooth, reliable
- OCB X-Pert: Extra thin with a smooth finish. Burns incredibly slow
- OCB Virgin: Unbleached, natural. For purists who want zero processing
- Best For: Experienced rollers who want a premium, slow-burning smoke
Vibes — The Culture Pick
Created by Berner, Vibes papers have become a staple in the culture. Available in three materials, each with a distinct smoking experience.
- Vibes Rice: Ultra thin rice paper. Burns the slowest of the three
- Vibes Hemp: Natural hemp paper. Medium burn rate, easy to roll
- Vibes Ultra Thin: The thinnest option. Almost transparent
- Best For: Culture enthusiasts who want style and substance
The Bottom Line
There's no "best" paper — it's all personal preference. RAW is the safe bet that works for everyone. OCB is for the connoisseur who wants the smoothest burn. Vibes is for the culture. Try all three and find your go-to.
