RAW Rolling Papers

RAW is a world-renowned brand of rolling papers and smoking accessories founded by Josh Kesselman. The brand is deeply rooted in the traditional paper-making history of Alcoy, Spain, which is often referred to as the birthplace of rolling papers. RAW revolutionized the industry by introducing unbleached and unrefined papers, focusing on a natural, vegan-friendly approach that omits the use of chalk, dyes, or burn additives found in many traditional brands.

While the company's innovation and marketing are driven from its American roots, the actual manufacturing process takes place in specialized mills in the Benimarfull region of Spain. This location is chosen for its unique water quality and historical expertise in thin-paper craft. Today, RAW remains an independent brand under its parent company, HBI International, and has maintained a strong identity centered on transparency and sustainable manufacturing practices.
