Zig Zags - meh, the glue is good, the paper is shit, burns irreg, thick (i know you can get thins). I think they are probably the most over hyped rollingpaper. Juicy - the glue is a bit shittier than a ziggie but the paper is a bit thinner. Any crazy cellulose paper - looove cellulose, not that rice paper is bad, but i love rolling with a clear joint, smokes well, no canoes. I could go on, but the best paper in the world, by far, is OCB. Trust me. Go buy some OCB papers and roll a spliff and smoke it, you'll see what I mean. The perfect papers. Im rocking me some OCB kings.
zig zags are the easiest to roll, granted all the things you said about them are also true but i dont really dig the cellulose "papers" cuz i just dont dig em, they suck to roll with and they taste funny but ill go 3 further american spirits, nice papers, rolls just as easy as zigs, but burn nice and clean RAW, fantastic papers to use with good bud, takes a little bit to get to roll with well, but totally worth it, unbleached Skunk brand, burn sooo nice, rolls great, has no taste(like raw), just overall good weed
zig zags are over hyped because of the ease to roll, and the 'holy shit i can get these anywhere' accesibility
any paper that is king size and very thin is my favorite. rizla silvers, smoking silvers, OCB premium, zig-zag silvers, etc.
zags are alright by me, since i hardly ever roll any joints. i want to try elements though, i hear they're very good.
very nice papers, i really like the "smoking" brand papers. but the company that makes them was recently convicted of adding cancer causing additives to their papers.
perfect size = 1 1/4 1 1/2 are too fat. don't get me wrong a fat joint is good, but i prefer a little longer and slimmer, than bulging short fatty. i've used those raw papers, i thought the glue sucked. i guess i don't have a preferred brand. randy's are cool tho, although not the best.
