  • Paper. Various materials are used to make pre-rolled cones, and they have their notable differences in terms of even burning, flavor, etc. These include hemp, rice, sugar, or raw tobacco leaf, which are the same materials used to make regular and flavored rolling papers. Some are made of traditional cigarette paper from wood pulp or flax. They can be bleached or unbleached, and mixed in tobacco or other flavors. 
  • Styles. Pre-rolled cones come in various sizes and styles. Some can be as small as 70 mm long, while others can be as big as 600 mm. However, the average cones are 83, 98, or 109 mm that can fit 0.7 to 1.3 grams.
