New to blunts? How to choose between Tobacco vs Hemp Wraps
Ever stood at a shop counter, staring at different wraps and wondering which to choose? You're not alone. Whether you're new to rolling or looking to switch things up, knowing the difference between hemp and tobacco wraps can make your experience better – and save you money.
Here’s the difference between the two…
Hemp Wraps in a Nutshell
They're made from the hemp plant (yes, related to cannabis, but without the high). They're tobacco-free, often cheaper, and come in plenty of flavors. If you're trying to avoid tobacco or just want something different, these might be your thing.
Tobacco Wraps at a Glance
These are the classics. Made from real tobacco leaves, they give you that traditional smoking experience. They contain nicotine and have that distinct tobacco taste that many people love. They're what your grandfather probably used.
Okay, but what’s inside these hemp wraps?
Like I said above, hemp wraps are made out of hemp plant fiber. That's it. No tobacco, no nicotine, just plant fiber pressed into a wrap. Many brands add natural flavors, from fruity to minty, but you can find them plain too.
Why People Love Them
- Perfect for tobacco-free rolling
- Usually cheaper (no tobacco taxes!)
- Lots of flavor choices
- Burn slowly and evenly
- Great for beginners - they're usually easier to roll
- Eco-friendly (hemp grows fast with few pesticides)
Which one’s cheaper (and how to save money while buying…)
A pack of hemp wraps typically costs less than tobacco wraps. Why? No tobacco taxes. Plus, many shops run deals on them because they're becoming more popular. Smart tip: Buy in bulk when you find a good sale - they keep well if stored right.
How hemp wraps feel when you smoke em’
Hemp wraps give you a smoother, lighter experience. They don't add any buzz like tobacco wraps do. Think of them as a blank canvas - you just taste what you put inside and whatever flavor the wrap might have.
If you want a cleaner taste with slow & even burn – then hemp wraps are your go-to.

“But what about Tobacco Wraps? I’ve been using them for years and they’re just fine!”
These wraps are made from actual tobacco leaves that have been dried and cured. They contain natural nicotine and tobacco's natural flavors. Sometimes (if buying from local stores) they have chemical & other additives added to preserve them. Which not only f*ck with the taste but ALSO harms you long-term. (Gum disease, tooth decay etc)
Why People Choose Them

- The nicotine gives an extra buzz
- Usually burn very evenly
- Strong and flexible when rolling
- Time-tested and reliable
- Some say they enhance the smoking experience
“What’s the price compared to hemp wraps?”
They cost more than hemp wraps, mainly because of tobacco taxes. Prices can vary a lot depending on where you live - states with high tobacco taxes mean higher prices. Pro tip: Some shops offer better deals than others, so it pays to look around.
