Zig Zag rolling papers are a classic product enjoyed by smokers. Originating in the 1960s, they quickly became popular because of their unique design and ease of use. Their popularity has not diminished over time and continues to thrive to this day. They were initially designed by two brothers in California who noticed a gap in the market for smoking products that offered a unique experience. At the time, most rolling papers were rectangular in shape. The two inventors wanted to find a way to provide customers with a unique and innovative product. They came up with the circular design that we know today. These original papers were not flavored or scented, and they did not have any additives in them. Over time, the company has been through many changes to keep up with the times. Zig Zag has stayed true to its roots by keeping the original design of its product but also expanding with seemingly endless sizes and styles of its rolling papers, including pre-rolled cones and hemp wraps. It has also introduced new flavors to its lineup and developed new products to meet the market’s changing needs. Despite all these changes, the company has always remained true to its original goal of offering its customers a unique smoking experience. This commitment to quality has helped the company grow to become one of the most successful tobacco supply companies in the United States. Today, the company is privately held and is headquartered in New York.

The History of Roll Your Own (RYO) Products

The usage of cigarette paper rolls did not start as a unified process to mold cigarettes for personal use. The early American colonists explored the process of wrapping paper to produce rolled cigarettes. However, these early attempts were unsuccessful, and tobacco was not quickly processed into formable pulp. It was not until the 1800s that the idea of using wax paper rolled around a mandrel to create rolled tobacco began to take hold. As the demand for these paper-wrapped cigarettes grew, the craftsmen focused on perfecting their process and made the modern-day RYO products we are familiar with today. In 1892, Frank Reese of New York invented a machine that could roll the paper around a mandrel more efficiently than manual wrapping methods. His machine allowed the craftsman to wrap several pieces of paper at a time and cut them into individual sections so that people could make their own cigarettes at home without as much effort.

These days, Zig Zag and other rolling paper companies have extensive selections of papers, cones, wraps, and rolling supplies for all smokers’ tastes.
