Zig-Zag Combo Pack: Orange vs Organic Hemp Carton

Quick answer

Choose the Zig-Zag Organic Hemp Combo Pack if you want more papers and tips per booklet and a natural, unbleached feel. Pick the Orange Combo Pack if you prefer the classic French Orange rolling paper experience and don't mind fewer papers per booklet.

Paper count and value

The most obvious difference between these two combo packs is the number of papers and tips included. The Organic Hemp booklet contains 50 papers and 50 tips, while the Orange booklet contains 32 papers and 32 tips. If you roll regularly, the Hemp pack gives you more rolling sessions per booklet, which can be a better value over time.

However, the Orange combo pack is priced higher per booklet, so you're paying more for fewer papers. This might be worth it if you specifically prefer the Orange paper's characteristics, but for sheer quantity, the Hemp pack wins.

Material and feel

The Organic Hemp papers are made from hemp, which typically has a slightly thicker, more textured feel and a natural, earthy tone. They are unbleached and appeal to those who prefer a more organic rolling experience.

The Orange papers are Zig-Zag's most popular classic, known for their smooth, thin burn. They are made from a traditional paper blend and have that familiar orange hue. If you're used to the classic Zig-Zag feel, the Orange papers will be more familiar.

The glue line and seal

Both combo packs feature Zig-Zag's thin glue line made from gum arabic, derived from the sap of the African acacia tree. This provides a consistent seal without affecting the taste of your smoke. So you don't have to worry about a difference in sealing quality between the two; the adhesive is identical.

This means the choice between Orange and Hemp comes down to the paper material and the number of papers, not the glue performance.
