In the midst of dry herb legalization in myriad states throughout the country, more and more products are being put out claiming to be better than the rest. Over the past few years, flavored rolling papers and wraps have started making waves within the industry, becoming a favorite among smokers who want to enhance the typical flavor of their legal herb.
Recently, however, King Palm has released an innovative product that takes on these flavored rolling papers head-on. King Palm’s new Flavored Pre-Rolled Cones contain terpene-infused flavor beads that change what it means to smoke flavored wraps. Here’s how these two flavorful smoking methods compare.
Making Flavored Rolling Papers
For many companies, flavored rolling papers are a hugely attractive product. Most people who opt for flavor preroll cones are looking for their dry herb’s flavor to be enhanced behind these better, tastier notes. However, with how these rolling papers tend to be made, this just simply isn’t the result.
The Process
To make flavored rolling papers, companies choose to either spray their papers or wraps with flavoring or they dip and soak them in flavor extracts instead. If you think that sounds intense, you’d be right: when flavored this way, the taste on the wraps is strong. For those who don’t enjoy the taste of dry herb, this can be wonderful. However, flavors are often artificial, overwhelming, and quite distracting from the beauty of your dry herb.
Of course, this may not be the case for every flavor-sprayed or flavor-dipped wrap out there but definitely isn’t uncommon. One of the biggest complaints about rolling papers like these is the intense, fake-tasting flavors. When sprayed or dipped like this, these preroll cones are no longer about the dry herb: they’re just about the taste.
For most experienced smokers, this kind of process simply isn’t ideal. However, for so long, this seemed to be the only option out there. Thankfully, that’s not the case any longer.
Crafting Terpene-Infused Filter Tips
King Palm went above and beyond to craft their new Flavored pre-rolled cones in ways that no other company has yet to do. Like every good smoking company, King Palm knows how important it is to celebrate the incredible flavors of your dry herb. That’s why they’ve decided to keep the flavors off the roll entirely; instead, King Palm installs terpene-infused flavor capsules into the cornhusk filter of the roll’s tip.
The Process
By having the flavors inside the filter tip, you get to control when you want to experience them. Rather than the preroll cone or wrap having the flavor emitting the whole time, King Palm’s Flavored Rolls allow you to activate it on your own time. Sometimes, you just want to enjoy the flavors of your herb first. While dipped or sprayed papers don’t allow for this, these Flavored pre-rolled cones sure do.
Wait to squeeze and pop your flavor roll until you’ve taken a few hits and then let the terpenes flow. This way, you know just how great your herb is on its own, and how much better it gets when exposed to these food-grade terpenes. Having this sort of flavor enhancement is something that no other wraps seem to produce.
Simply put, having the flavors inside the filter tip, rather than the soaked on the wrap, is a much smarter process for the smoking experience. But, hey, we’ll talk about that next.
The Smoking Experience
Put your mouth on the filter of a blueberry rolling paper and you’ll have one of two results: either you won’t taste a thing, or you’ll be overwhelmed by artificial blueberry flavors. Most of the time, it seems as though there’s no middle ground. Of course, this can be a bit subjective, and if you enjoy the way that flavored rolling papers taste, that’s wonderful! However, for many experienced smokers, these just feel a bit childish.
That’s simply not the case for King Palm’s flavored rolls. Pre-rolled in a luxurious Cordia palm leaf wrap and extra durable for a smooth, slow-burning smoke, the whole experience triumphs over flavored prer-rolled cones any day.
When mixed with your herb, the terpenes within the flavored rolls are subtle yet delicious. They blend beautifully with the notes that are already hidden within your herb, only making these flavors enhance more. By picking flavors that are common within dry herb, these flavored rolls complement your herb in ways that regular preroll cones could never. After all, your dry herb is full of terpenes, but shouldn’t your wrap be, too?
How Terpenes Top Them All
At the end of the day, terpenes just can’t be beaten. Combining the terpenes of your natural flavors in both your favorite dry herbs and your favorite fruits into a single pre-rolled leaf cone only makes sense.
Again, if you’re dead-set on flavored rolling papers or sprayed wraps, that’s totally okay. But, do take the time to experience a more natural approach and see how different the experiences are. After all, King Palm is known for our all-natural aesthetic, so why not keep that going within our flavored rolls, too? Squeeze, pop, and inhale the sweetness of King Palm’s innovative terpene-infused filters.
