RAW Classic King Size Slim Rolling Papers

RAW Brand Overview

RAW is a world-renowned brand specializing in unrefined smoking rolling papers. Founded by Josh Kesselman, the brand gained massive popularity for its commitment to natural, vegan, and additive-free materials, primarily focusing on hemp and flax fibers. The 'Twenty Year Anniversary Pack' shown in the image celebrates the brand's long-standing history in the smoking industry, dating back to Kesselman's early ventures in the late 1990s and the official launch of RAW in 2005.

Manufacturing and Origin

While the brand is headquartered in the United States, its manufacturing heritage is deeply rooted in Alcoy, Spain. Alcoy is traditionally known as the birthplace of rolling papers, and RAW continues to produce its papers there to maintain specialized quality standards. The production process utilizes wind power and natural materials to align with the brand's eco-friendly identity.

Ownership and Distribution

RAW is owned by HBI International (also known as BBK Tobacco & Foods LLP). Based in Phoenix, Arizona, HBI International manages a vast portfolio of smoking brands. Despite being a major player in the global market, RAW maintains a strong connection to its founder, Josh Kesselman, who remains the face of the brand and an advocate for natural smoking products. The brand is distributed globally through various local subsidiaries and authorized distributors.
