Blazy Susan vs RAW — Quick Comparison

Paper Material — Wood Pulp vs Hemp

This is the biggest real difference between Blazy Susan and RAW. Blazy Susan uses French wood pulp. RAW uses unbleached hemp.

Wood pulp (Blazy Susan): More durable, slower burn, zero flavor impact. Wood pulp paper holds its shape better during rolling — less tearing, less collapsing in humid conditions. The slower burn means less material wasted per joint. No aftertaste at all — what you taste is purely what’s inside the paper.

Hemp (RAW): More porous and natural. Burns slightly faster than wood pulp. Some smokers notice a very subtle hemp flavor in thin papers — most don’t. Hemp paper is more eco-friendly than wood pulp. RAW Organic takes it further with organic hemp certification. Hemp paper can be slightly more challenging in humid environments where it absorbs moisture and becomes limp.

For pure smoking performance — burn rate and flavor neutrality — wood pulp has the advantage. For eco-preference, hemp wins. Both are legitimate choices depending on what you prioritize.

Papers Per Booklet — Count Matters More Than People Think

Blazy Susan gives you 50 papers per booklet. RAW Classic gives you 32. RAW Black gives you 50. If you’re comparing Blazy Susan to RAW Classic — the most common RAW product — Blazy Susan is giving you 56% more papers per pack at a comparable price point. Over a year of daily rolling, that difference compounds significantly.

If you’re comparing to RAW Black (50 count), the paper count is equal. The difference then comes down to material preference — wood pulp vs hemp.

Burn Rate — Blazy Susan Burns Slower

In direct comparison, Blazy Susan burns slower than RAW Classic. Slower burn means more time per joint and less wasted material per session. For daily smokers who go through papers fast, the burn rate difference adds up. RAW Black burns closer to Blazy Susan’s rate due to the thinner construction, but Blazy Susan still has a slight edge in even burn consistency.

Durability — Who Wins?

Blazy Susan wood pulp is more tear-resistant than RAW hemp at the same thickness. Hemp paper is more porous, which makes it slightly more vulnerable to moisture damage and mid-roll tearing. In dry conditions both papers handle well. In humid conditions or for rollers with slightly damp fingers, Blazy Susan holds up better. For beginners who tear papers frequently during rolling, wood pulp gives more margin for error.

Which One Should You Choose?

• Choose Blazy Susan if: You want slower burn, more durable paper, zero flavor impact, or you prefer the pink/purple colorway. Also the better value vs RAW Classic on paper count.
• Choose RAW if: You prefer unbleached hemp, want the most widely available paper brand, or you specifically want organic certification (RAW Organic).
• Run both if: You roll every day and want variety. Most experienced daily rollers have multiple brands in rotation. Blazy Susan for the sessions where burn rate matters, RAW for the sessions where you want organic hemp.
