OCB
OCB is one of the rolling paper names most UK smokers recognise on sight. This collection holds 2 OCB products and both were in stock when this page was written, each at £1.99: the OCB Pre-Rolled Slim 109mm Unbleached/Virgin Cones 3pk and the OCB Pre-Rolled Slim 109mm Premium Cones 3pk. Each pack contains three ready made cones with the card tip already fitted.
Pre-rolled cones have taken a large share of the paper market for one straightforward reason. They remove the skill from rolling. The paper arrives already formed into a cone with a tip at the narrow end, so all that is left is to fill it and twist the top closed. The two OCB options differ in the paper rather than in shape or size.
What 109mm slim means
Rolling paper sizes are described by length and by width. A standard single paper is around 70mm long. King size runs to roughly 109mm. Slim describes the narrower width that produces a tighter, more tapered roll. A 109mm slim cone holds noticeably more than a single paper while keeping the draw restricted rather than loose. It is the most common cone size sold in the UK.
Unbleached virgin paper against premium paper
Unbleached papers, often sold as virgin or natural, are left in the shade the pulp comes out at rather than being whitened during manufacture. They are usually a light brown and they suit anyone who wants the least processed option on the shelf.
Premium style papers are the thin white alternative. Thinner paper burns more slowly and contributes less of its own character to the smoke, which is why the finest grades are prized by regular rollers. Both OCB packs here are the same 109mm slim cone in the same three cone pack at the same price, so the choice comes down to unbleached brown paper or a fine white one.
Cones against rolling by hand
Rolling by hand gives complete control over how tightly the finished item is packed and it costs less per paper. It also takes practice, since a badly rolled paper burns down one side or runs out halfway. Cones sidestep that. The cone shape also burns more evenly than a straight cylinder, which keeps the draw consistent from the first pull to the last.
Filling a cone properly
Grind the material evenly first. Uneven pieces create air channels that make a cone burn crooked. Fill in small amounts and tap the cone on a hard surface between additions so the contents settle into the taper. Firm is the target rather than compressed, because an over packed cone simply will not draw. Twist the excess paper at the open end to close it. The card tip already fitted keeps the end open and stops loose material reaching your mouth. Grinders, trays, filter tips and loose papers sit in the wider smoking products range.
Storing papers and cones
Paper is sensitive to damp and to heat. Store packs flat, sealed and away from radiators or sunny windowsills. Damp paper burns unevenly and can go out partway through, while packs kept loose in a bag get crushed. A tin or a rolling box solves both problems.

OCB cones questions answered
What is in the OCB collection?
The collection holds 2 OCB products. Both are pre-rolled slim 109mm cones sold in packs of three at £1.99. One pack uses unbleached virgin paper and the other uses premium white paper. Each cone comes with the card tip already fitted.
What size is a 109mm slim cone?
109mm is the king size length, which is around 40mm longer than a standard 70mm single paper. Slim refers to the narrower width, which gives a tighter and more tapered roll rather than a fat one. It is the most widely sold cone size in the UK.
What is the difference between unbleached and premium papers?
Unbleached or virgin papers are not whitened during manufacture, so they stay a natural light brown. Premium style papers are the thin white alternative. Thinner paper burns more slowly and adds less of its own character. Both OCB packs here are the same cone size at the same price, so the paper is the only real choice.
Are pre-rolled cones easier than rolling by hand?
Considerably. The cone is already formed with a tip in place, so you only need to fill it, tap it down and twist the top. Rolling by hand costs less per paper and gives more control over packing density, though it takes practice.
How should I store rolling papers?
Keep them flat, sealed and away from damp and heat. Moisture makes paper burn unevenly and can put it out partway through, while loose packs get crushed in a bag and the cones lose their shape. A tin or a rolling box keeps them in good condition.
Do I have to be 18 to buy rolling papers?
Yes. Rolling papers, cones and smoking accessories are sold to adults aged 18 and over in the UK and every order is age verified before dispatch. UK delivery is free on orders over £20 and the team is on 07827 210361 between 8.30am and 4.00pm.
