Most people, when asked what the first brand of joint rolling paper that comes in to their mind, would reply Zig Zag. Almost all of us have smoked a joint rolled in a Zig-Zag at one time or another. These papers have remained an icon in smoking culture for a reason: No fancy stuff, they are just good papers.

For this review, we chose the classic, 1 1/4″ Zig Zag Papers. These papers burn nice and clean. When rolled properly they burn evenly almost every smoke.

Useless Zig-Zag history fact:

The packages feature the famous Zouave symbol. Zouaves are soldiers from a special infantry regiment. During their battles, Zouaves would climb rocky cliffs to surprise the enemy and use their artillery against them.

As the story goes, one of the Zouaves had broken his smoking pipe during battle. He had the brilliant idea of using his gun powder back material to roll up his tobacco and smoke it, thus creating the first cigarette rolling paper! That is the reason the Zig Zag symbol is so popular in today’s culture.
