Rizla Papers

Rizla Papers: Cult for centuries - Find your perfect variety

Almost everyone knows them, and many swear by them: Rizla Papers are one of the absolute veterans in the world of twisting. Ever since Alexandre Lacroix laid the foundation stone in the early 18th century (yes, really that long!), the brand with the iconic name has stood for an almost unbelievable tradition. But Rizla is much more than just history. It is the huge selection of Rizla sheets that continues to impress today. From wafer-thin to robust, from classic to sustainable - there is a suitable paper for every taste and every rolling preference. Are you wondering what the differences between Rizla papers are and which variety could become your new favourite? Then you've come to the right place! We decipher the famous Rizla colour code for you and help you find the perfect papers for your individual enjoyment.

The Rizla colour code: which leaf suits your style?

The most well-known feature of Rizla is probably the colour coding of the packaging. Each colour stands for a specific type of paper with its own characteristics. We have broken down the most common colours and their meaning for you so that you no longer have to puzzle over them:

Rizla Blue: The light classic

As blue as the sky on a relaxed day - Rizla Blue is a fine all-rounder. They are one of the lighter papers in the range, but still offer a good grip when rolling. Their burning behaviour is pleasantly slow and even. If you are looking for a reliable, not too thin paper for everyday use, Rizla Blue is the right choice for you.

• ✅ Fine and pleasant to roll
• ✅ Slow, even burn-off
• ✅ Good all-rounder for many occasions

Rizla Silver: Extra thin for pure flavour

Want to taste as little paper as possible? Then Rizla Silver is your first choice! These papers are ultra-thin (often around 13.5 g/m²) and almost transparent. The result: an almost unadulterated flavour of your herbs or tobacco. Despite their delicacy, they burn surprisingly slowly. Perfect for connoisseurs and purists who value maximum flavour.

• ✅ Extremely thin for the purest flavour
• ✅ Very slow burning
• ✅ Ideal for experienced rollers and flavour gourmets
• ⚠️ Can be a little trickier to roll for beginners

Rizla Green: Medium thickness with cut corners

Green stands for the practical solution: Rizla Green are medium-thick leaves that are characterised by a special feature - the 'cut corners'. The cut corners make it easier to roll up the paper and are particularly popular with beginners, but also often make turning more comfortable for experienced players. The paper itself is slightly thicker than Blue and offers good stability.

• ✅ Medium thickness, good stability
• ✅ Cut corners for easier turning
• ✅ Popular with beginners and for fast turning

Rizla Red: The robust standard

Red pack, red thread - Rizla Red is the robust standard in the range. Similar to the green leaflets, they are of medium thickness and offer good strength. Unlike Rizla Green, however, they do not have cut corners. A solid choice for anyone looking for an uncomplicated, slightly thicker Rizla cigarette paper without special features.

• ✅ Medium thickness, robust and tear-resistant
• ✅ Uncomplicated and reliable
• ✅ Good standard for everyday use

Rizla Natura: unbleached and natural

Rizla Natura is for environmentally conscious connoisseurs. These sheets are unbleached and are often made from organic hemp fibres. They are relatively thin and burn pleasantly slowly. The natural, slightly brownish colour and the clear conscience when smoking make them a popular alternative to bleached papers.

• ✅ Unbleached from organic hemp
• ✅ Thin and neutral in flavour
• ✅ Slow burning
• ✅ More sustainable option

Rizla Bamboo: the sustainable choice

Rizla goes one step further in the direction of sustainability with its Bamboo Papers. As the name suggests, they are made from rapidly renewable bamboo fibres. They are thin, very tear-resistant and known for their particularly slow burning. An excellent choice for anyone who values environmental friendliness and a long smoking experience.

• ✅ Made from sustainable bamboo
• ✅ Thin, but very sturdy
• ✅ Extra slow burning
• ✅ Environmentally friendly alternative
