How Much Are Blunt Wraps? A Deep Dive into Pricing & Taxes

Blunt wraps have long been a go-to for smokers looking to roll their own blunts, but prices have steadily increased over the years due to inflation and taxation. While many still associate blunt wraps and cigarillos with the classic 99 cents for two price point, the reality is that in most places, they now cost more.

But why? The answer lies in tobacco taxes, local regulations, and inflation. Interestingly, hemp and tea-based wraps largely avoid these extra costs, making them the most budget-friendly option.

Blunt Wrap Prices: Tobacco vs. Hemp & Tea Wraps

The cost of blunt wraps varies based on what they're made of and where you're buying them. Here's a breakdown:

Tobacco Blunt Wraps: Higher Prices Due to Taxes

Tobacco-based blunt wraps and cigarillos are heavily taxed because they contain tobacco, even though they’re often used to roll cannabis rather than smoked on their own. These taxes apply at multiple levels:

  • Federal Tobacco Tax: The U.S. government imposes an excise tax on all tobacco products.

  • State Tobacco Taxes: Every state has its own tobacco tax, which varies significantly. For example:

    • California: High tobacco taxes, making blunt wraps more expensive.

    • Missouri: One of the lowest tobacco tax states, keeping prices lower.

  • Local City/County Taxes: Some cities add their own extra tax, further increasing prices. For example, Cook County - which includes Chicago - has some of the highest local tobacco taxes in America, while some counties have no local taxes or regulations on tobacco.

Because of these taxes, tobacco blunt wraps and cigarillos can cost well over 99 cents in many locations, with prices typically ranging from $1.50 to $3 per pack.

Hemp & Tea Blunt Wraps: The Budget-Friendly Alternative

Unlike tobacco wraps, hemp and tea-based blunt wraps are often not subject to tobacco taxes. This keeps their prices low, with many brands sticking to the classic 99 cents for two wraps.

  • Wild Hemp Wraps are the cheapest option, offering 4 wraps for 99 cents.

  • Other brands like Zig-Zag Hemp Wraps or High Hemp typically sell for 99 cents per 2-count pack. However, since these wraps are not pre-priced, many smoke shops and dispensaries price them at $2 per 2 count because their customers will pay more than the typical convenience customer.

  • Since they contain no tobacco, most states and cities don’t tax them, keeping them affordable.

Why Blunt Wrap Prices Have Increased

Historically, tobacco wraps and cigarillos were marketed at 99 cents per 2-pack, a price that stuck in smokers’ minds. However, due to inflation and increasing taxes, that price is now mostly a marketing tactic, with some companies listing "99 cents" on the packaging but charging more at checkout. Some have even changed packaging to not include a price or reset it at $1.29 or $1.50. 

In many places, even basic cigarillos like Swisher Sweets, White Owl, and Backwoods now sell for $1.50 to $3 per pack, depending on the local tax rates.

Final Thoughts: Which Wraps Offer the Best Value?

If you're looking for the most affordable blunt wraps, hemp and tea-based wraps are the way to go. They remain at the 99-cent price point in most locations, while tobacco-based wraps continue to rise in cost due to taxes and inflation.

Quick Takeaways:

  • Tobacco blunt wraps & cigarillos are subject to federal, state, and local taxes, making them more expensive.

  • Hemp & tea wraps are not taxed in most places, staying at 99 cents for two wraps.

  • Wild Hemp Wraps offer the best value at 4 wraps for 99 cents.

  • Due to inflation, most tobacco wraps now cost over 99 cents, even if their packaging still advertises that price.
