The Brief History of Rolling Papers
2

• The first company to create rolling paper was
  Pay-Pe, founded in Spain in 1703. The known
  history of Tobacco Rolling Paper can be traced
  back to Alexandro Rizzlet de Cramptone Lacroix,
  an ancestor of the Lacroix family who founded and
  managed the RizLa Rolling Papers Company over
  the centuries. The story goes that in 1532,
  Lacroix in France exchanged a bottle of champagne
  for a rolling paper brought from Spain by French
  soldiers. Then he copied the paper (as the French
  still do today). The rolling paper was invented
  in Spain, not France. The Spanish already traded
  tobacco to the new world long before the French
  were.

• In 1660 the Lacroix family began producing paper.
  In 1736 he obtained a factory and founded the
  Lacroix Rolling Paper Company. His first major
  contract was none other than that of Napoleon.
  Napoleon gave him a license to make paper. His
  soldiers rolled up tobacco using the pages of the
  book. In 1865, the company changed the formula of
  the smoking paper to Rice Paper, changing the
  name to RizLa Because "Croix" means "cross" in
  French.
• The Lacroix family continued to reap significant
  profits from the venture over the centuries,
  earning enough fortune to build an impressive
  family mansion by 1891. His products were
  distributed throughout Europe and America by
  1900, and in 1942 he successfully patented a
  method for applying glue to the edges of the
  paper, becoming a market leader.

• The Lacroix family owned the company until 1978
  when it was sold to Fernand Penblanc.
• In general, the structure of rolling papers has
  remained the same for centuries. Different
  companies use different combinations of pulp,
  hemp, rice, and flax. The use of rice in rolling
  paper dates back to at least 1865. Some companies
  may use esparto, or "needle grass," that grows in
  northwestern Africa and southern Spain. But the
  material is not popular, as it may be more
  carcinogenic.

• JOB brand paper has some reputation. In 1838, the
  company hired Paul Harvey to paint the brand's
  paintings reminiscent of Alphonse Mucha's popular
  Art Nouveau style. Rolling papers popularity, in
  general, rose around 1883, when another
  innovation in the Lacroix family, the cigarette
  rolling machine, was invented. Their original
  design is still used in rolling machines today.
  Soon after, Rolling Paper under the ZigZag brand
  introduced the "interleaving" method, a very
  popular way to wrap rolling paper.

• In 1906, RizLa introduced the first flavored
  peppers (menthol and strawberry). Rolling Papers
  innovation is still ongoing, and in a way, it's a
  microcosm of popular culture. Magnetically

  Bugler's papers were widely smoked in prison for
  some time, and Raw's papers reflect a general
  preference for organic ingredients. Their papers
  are vegetarian and are sold additive-free.

Not All Rolling Papers Are Created Equal

• Today, rolling papers are available in a variety
  of materials, weights, and sizes to suit
  individual smoking preferences. Some prefer the
  taste of rice paper, others prefer wood or flax.
  Some prefer thick, hard paper, while others
  prefer very thin, transparent burns. Some papers
  are like thick glue strips and some don't have
  adhesive strips. It all comes down to personal
  preference.
