| I'm not a fan of clear/cellulose papers. They taste like shit, run like a mufugga and rolling with them may be easy because of how much more durable/elastic the paper is but it always makes me wonder why I am smoking this instead of an ol' fashioned Zig-Zag. That and as they burn they tend to kind of 'tighten' up, it's something that really bothers me because at the end of the joint your sucking 'a golf ball through a garden hose' just to get a hit. ![]() Clear/cellulose papers are compromised of extracted cellulose from the Eucalyptus plant, and use glycerol for helping 'seal' it. They sometimes claim they are 'more natural' than traditional papers, but it takes more chlorine to make clear papers than it does a traditional rolling paper. ![]() Zig-Zags are made of wood-pulp and flax, and use natural gum arabic sap for the 'seal' FYI

| I like the clear papers. Using a roller, I have never had any issues rolling using them. They burn far slower than any other paper I've used, and don't seem to "tighten up" on me as Spiral says happens to him. I don't use them all the time by any means, but have never had any problems on the dozen or so occasions I have utilized them. I'd probably use them far more often, but the only size I have available to me locally are 1 1/4 size, and I rarely want to roll a joint that big, at least when I have dank

| I HATE clear papers. They seem to burn slower than a normal paper but the j burns your fingers. It seems that heat transfers all the way throughout the entire paper and even before I get to the roach my hand is burning from holding it. Very shitty in my opinion but maybe some companies make better ones. Nevertheless, won't be smoking any clear papers anymore.

| Haven't used them yet. I'm kinda sketchy about it too. It would freak me out rolling one of those things. Hell I tried Zig-Zag Ultra Thins last night, and rolling one of those freaked me out because I could see the weed. Took me two trys to get over that fact, but that could have been because I was stoned off my ass. However once I did get over it, I rolled the nicest joint I've ever rolled. Smoked perfect ![]() Definitely a good buy but one of those old regular thickness joints are good once in awhile too. Also, the packaging for the Ultra Thins is shiny and keeps me amused. |

| I tryed a banana flavored clear paper before and really didn't think anything good or bad about them. I mean I couldn't roll with them but my boy could and it burned normal and seemed pretty average except for the fact that it was clear. But I'm a pretty old fashioned dude so when I roll up I just stick to what I've always had, BLUNTS. Grape Swishers day and night, I swear my gas station attendant must think I'm crazy rolling in and buying grape swishers like its fuckin y2k! |
