About the Zig-Zag Palm Mini Rolls

If you’ve been a smoker for any amount of time, you know the rolling paper brand Zig-Zag. Established in Europe in the 1890s, maker of rolling papers of all thicknesses and sizes, found in every head shop from sea to shining sea – need I go on? Like any other smoker, I’m a big fan of their ultra-thin papers, but these palm rolls took me by surprise.

I’d call these mini palm rolls blunt wraps, but they’re made from palm leaves, not tobacco paper. You get the smooth, slow-burning experience of a blunt without mixing in any tobacco or nicotine. (The packaging on these rolls tells you that the Mayans used palm leaves to smoke, which I like but did not verify.)

Why I love these Zig-Zag Mini Palm Rolls

I love these wraps because they come with tips – all-natural corn husks. I started smoking cigars, so I love a long smoking experience. But it is endlessly frustrating to me that blunts don’t traditionally have tips – I find the quality of the smoking experience is significantly decreased without a tip. Even with the most conscious smokers, the end of a blunt with no tip gets squished and soggy. These corn husk filters are thick and more layered than your average tip, providing a lovely filter.

Since these are made from palm leaves by a smoking brand, they come hollow with a paper insert to keep their shape. Unlike traditional blunt wraps, you don’t have to slice the paper open, remove the tobacco contents, refill it with weed, and reseal. It’s so much easier than that – just remove the paper insert, grind, and pack. You can use a small funnel to fill it with flower or scoop directly from the grinder. Each package contains a small wooden poker still to help you pack the flower down.

Unlike tobacco paper, these palm leaves don’t have a strong flavor. These come in a grape flavor, but you have to pop a flavor bead somewhere in the tip, and I haven’t successfully done that. Honestly, I don’t care – I’m not crazy about flavored papers and I like that these don’t add much. Additionally, these rolls come in packs of two with a Boveda humidity pack, so they stay fresh. Traditional blunt wraps can be stiff and hard to roll or seal, and there’s no struggle with these.

I got the Grape pack of palm rolls. The flavor of each of these is more aromatic than tastable, and it fades quickly as the rolls age. It adds to the scent of the roll but I couldn’t taste much when smoking it. The packaging claims to have squeeze-and-pop flavor beads, but they didn’t work for me. I could have just as easily done without them, as they didn’t add anything to my smoking experience.

These rolls burn slowly, as you want blunt papers too, but they dry out with age. I held onto my last pack of Grape palm rolls a little too long, and the last one burnt through twice as quickly as these rolls did when they were new. They’re packaged in a resealable bag with humidity control packages, but I’d estimate a 12-month shelf life for these.

The smoking experience is great, an easy 5/5. It’s smooth, filtered, and thick, everything you want from a blunt. I’m not one to hate on tradition, but these palm rolls from Zig-Zag are a massive upgrade over traditional wraps and will be in stock in my weed cabinet for further notice.

In Zig-Zag tradition, these rolls are delicious, convenient, and affordable. A two-pack is less than $4!

How much do Zig Zag Mini Palm Rolls Hold?

These are mini rolls, but they still hold up to a gram of ground flower. If I’m not smoking that much, I’ll fill these rolls as much as I want and then trim the excess paper with scissors before lighting it.
