Smoking is one of the most recognisable rolling paper brands in Spain. Its catalogue is wide and, at first glance, can be confusing: different colours, thicknesses and sizes. In this guide we put the ranges in order so you know what sets each one apart and which best suits the way you roll. You can see the full catalogue in our Smoking papers section.
Sold exclusively to adults aged 18 and over.
How the Smoking range is organised
The brand distinguishes its papers by three variables: the colour of the packet (which usually identifies the range), the thickness or type of paper and the size. Bear in mind that the match between colour and characteristics can vary by product, so the most reliable approach is to check each product’s page.
Ranges by thickness and colour
Standard-weight papers
These are the most common, with even combustion and a feel that is easy to handle. They are a convenient option for those who roll daily and want a paper that behaves predictably. Within the brand, the classic coloured-packet ranges such as brown, green or yellow generally fall into this broad category.
Thin and ultra-thin papers
The thinnest ranges, usually associated with silver or gold packets, offer a lighter paper. The advantage is that the paper is less noticeable in the cigarette; the drawback is that they are somewhat more delicate to handle, especially for anyone still getting comfortable with rolling.
Natural fibre or unbleached papers
Smoking also has brown or raw-toned products, recognisable by their unbleached look. It is a matter of aesthetic preference and feel when rolling, not of any additional effect.
Flavoured papers
Flavoured papers exist for those who want a different touch. They are an occasional option, and it is worth checking the availability of each flavour in the shop.
Sizes: short, 1¼, King Size and roll
| Size | Characteristic | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|
| Short | Small size, a more compact roll | Small cigarettes and quick rolling |
| Medium 1¼ | Slightly longer than short, balanced | Daily use and hand rolling |
| Long King Size | Greater paper length | Long cigarettes and use with a machine |
| Roll | Continuous strip of paper | Rolling to your preferred length |
Short Smoking
The short Smoking paper is the classic size and the most widespread for hand rolling. It is practical for those who prefer small cigarettes and a simple rolling motion.
Medium 1¼ Smoking
The medium 1¼ Smoking offers a little more surface than the short. It is a good middle ground for those who want comfortable rolling without moving up to a long size.
Long King Size Smoking
The long King Size Smoking suits longer cigarettes and is common among those who use a rolling machine or injector, where the size of the paper makes the process easier.
Roll
The roll lets you cut the length you want. It is a more specific format, aimed at those who know their rolling preferences and want to control the size.
Which range to choose for your rolling style
- If you hand roll daily: a standard-weight paper in short or 1¼ size is the easiest to handle.
- If you like a light paper: try the thin ranges, bearing in mind that they need a little more care.
- If you use a rolling machine: King Size is usually the most convenient.
- If you roll long or custom cigarettes: the roll gives you freedom over length.
- If you want something different: flavoured or unbleached papers offer alternatives to suit personal taste.
Accessories: matching filters
To complete your roll, choose a filter whose diameter suits the paper and the style of cigarette. In the shop you will find Smoking filters, designed to pair with the brand.
Practical tips
- Store the booklets somewhere dry so the gum on the edge keeps its adhesion.
- If you are torn between two ranges, buy one booklet of each and compare how they handle.
- Always check the product page to confirm the size and number of leaves.
