Ahoy Mateys!

Pirate Girl here, answering one of the questions that I get asked most often here at my smoke shop in Plymouth, Massachusetts: Which rolling papers really are the best for smoking weed?! Well my answer is always that it depends on your preferences. For example, some people are looking for the thinnest, most eco-friendly papers, while others value the burn rate most. So below is my analysis for my top 5 most favorite papers: Blazy Susan, OCB, Zig-Zag, RAW, and RAW Black.
