Best pre-roll cones for cannabis
A pre-roll cone is a paper tube that tapers from a wide opening down to a paper tip. You fill it from the top, then twist the end closed. No rolling skill needed. The cone shape changes the burn: more paper near the tip, less at the top.

Raw King Size Pre Rolled Cones Review
How we picked
- Paper: unbleached, rice, or hemp. Bleached white paper burns faster and adds a paper taste.
- Size: cone length in mm and fill weight in grams.
- Tip: paper tip width in mm. A 26mm tip is the standard for King Size cones.
- Pack count: cost per cone drops as the count rises.
1. RAW Classic King Size Cones: best overall
RAW Classic cones use unbleached paper with a criss-cross watermark. The paper is made in Alcoy, Spain. HBI International distributes the brand from Phoenix, Arizona.
King Size cones measure 109mm with a 26mm tip and hold about 1 g of ground flower. RAW also sells 1¼ (84mm), 98 Special (98mm), Lean, and Emperador (140mm) cones. Pack counts run from 3 to 800.
How Many Grams in a King Size Cone? Capacity Guide
Price sits at $2 to $4 for a 6-pack at US shops. The paper is thin, so pack flower in small pinches. A loose fill pulls air and burns hot.
Downside: the paper tears at the tip if you overpack.
2. Elements Ultra Thin Rice Cones: best for a slow burn
Elements is an HBI International brand, the same company behind RAW. The paper is rice-based and translucent. It burns slow and leaves light ash.
Elements cones come in 1¼ and King Size. King Size is 109mm with a 26mm tip. Fill weight lands at 0.8 g to 1 g.
Rice paper shows resin marks as the cone burns. If you want a clean look at the end of a session, pick another brand.
3. Zig-Zag Ultra Thin Cones: easiest to find
Zig-Zag is owned by Republic Brands in Skokie, Illinois. The brand sits in gas stations, grocery stores, and smoke shops across most US states.
Ultra Thin cones come in 1¼ and King Size. The paper is thin and white. Fill weight for King Size is about 0.75 g to 1 g.
Downside: the paper is bleached. Some smokers note a paper taste on the first pulls.
4. Blazy Susan Cones: best colored paper
Blazy Susan is based in Denver, Colorado. The cones use pink and purple paper with a food-grade dye. The company states the paper is vegan and non-GMO.
Cones come in 1¼ and King Size. Fill weight runs about 0.5 g for 1¼ and 1 g for King Size. The dye does not change the fill weight or the tip width.
5. OCB Organic Hemp Cones: best hemp paper
OCB is a Republic Technologies brand. The papers are made in Perpignan, France. Organic Hemp cones use unbleached hemp paper with a natural gum line.
Cones come in 1¼ and King Size. Hemp paper is thicker than rice paper, so fill weight is about 0.9 g for King Size. The cone holds its shape while you pack it.
Cone size and fill weight
- 1¼ cone: 84mm, 26mm tip, about 0.5 g
- 98 Special: 98mm, 26mm tip, about 0.75 g
- King Size: 109mm, 26mm tip, about 1 g
- Emperador: 140mm, 26mm tip, about 2 g
These numbers are estimates. Grind size and pack pressure change the total. A fine grind packs tighter and adds weight.
