Royal Queen Seeds Natural Rolling Papers
Royal Queen Seeds Natural Rolling Papers are hemp-based rolling papers that deliver a clean, additive-free smoke so you taste nothing but your bud. Measuring 111 x 27 x 9mm, each sheet gives you proper room to roll without cramping your style — slow-burning, even, and made from sustainable hemp fibre. If you've been putting up with bleached papers that leave an aftertaste, these are the upgrade you didn't know you needed.
Why These Hemp Rolling Papers Matter
Most rolling papers on the market are made from wood pulp, rice, or blends that include calcium carbonate, potassium citrate, or chlorine bleach. You might not notice the taste from a single paper, but over a session — or a week of sessions — it adds up. That faint harshness at the back of your throat? That chemical edge you can't quite place? Often it's the paper, not the herb.
Royal Queen Seeds strips all of that out. These natural rolling papers use hemp fibre as the base material, which burns at a slower, more consistent rate than standard wood-pulp papers. No chlorine bleach, no added chalk, no burn accelerants. The result is a smoke where the terpene profile of your chosen strain actually comes through. If you've spent time selecting a flavourful flower — a citrusy haze, a gassy kush, something with pine and pepper — it makes no sense to then wrap it in something that masks those flavours.
We've been stocking rolling papers since the early 2000s, and the honest limitation here is the same one you'll find with any unbleached hemp paper: they're slightly thicker than ultra-thin rice papers. You can feel the difference between these and a rice sheet when you hold them side by side. That said, the trade-off is a paper that's far easier to roll with — it doesn't tear when you tuck, and it holds its shape while you pack. For most people, that's a better deal.

Complete your rolling setup with a decent grinder — a fine, even grind makes all the difference with slow-burning papers like these. A metal herb grinder with a kief catcher pairs well, giving you consistently milled material that packs evenly and burns without canoeing. If you're rolling on the go, a rolling tray keeps everything tidy and catches what you'd otherwise lose to the wind or your lap.
How Natural Hemp Rolling Papers Compare to Standard Papers
Here's where it gets practical. You've got three main paper types on the market, and each has a different feel, burn, and flavour impact. This should help you figure out where RQS Natural Rolling Papers sit in the lineup.
| Feature | Hemp papers (RQS Natural) | Rice papers | Wood-pulp papers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material | Hemp fibre | Pressed rice | Wood pulp |
| Burn speed | Slow | Very slow | Fast |
| Ease of rolling | Good grip, forgiving | Slippery, needs practice | Easy, stiff |
| Taste interference | Minimal | Very minimal | Noticeable |
| Thickness | Medium | Ultra-thin | Thick |
| Additives | None | Varies by brand | Often includes chalk, bleach |
| Sustainability | High — hemp is a fast-growing crop | Moderate | Low — slow-growth forestry |
The best rolling paper for flavour-focused smokers is a hemp paper like these RQS sheets. Rice papers technically interfere even less with taste, but they're a nightmare to roll if your fingers aren't bone-dry — they stick to themselves, tear at the gum line, and require a level of patience that most people don't have at midnight. Hemp papers give you 90% of the flavour transparency with twice the forgiveness. That's the sweet spot.
How to Roll with RQS Natural Rolling Papers
- Grind your herb to a medium-fine consistency. You want it fluffy, not powdered — a 2-piece or 4-piece grinder with a few twists does the job. Overly fine material restricts airflow; chunky bits cause uneven burning and canoeing.
- Hold the rolling paper with the adhesive strip facing you, at the top, sticky side up. The 111mm length runs left to right. Place a filter tip at one end if you're using one — cardboard roach tips work well with these papers.
- Distribute the ground herb evenly along the crease of the paper. Aim for a slight cone shape if that's your preference — wider at the open end, tapering towards the filter.
- Tuck the non-adhesive edge of the paper around the herb using your thumbs, rolling back and forth gently to shape the contents into a cylinder. Hemp papers grip well, so you shouldn't need to fight them.
- Once the material is shaped, roll upward, tucking the front edge under the herb and continuing until only the adhesive strip is exposed. Lick the gum lightly and press to seal.
- Pack the open end gently with a pen or similar tool. Twist the tip closed if you're saving it for later, or light up and enjoy the clean, slow burn.
