Understanding the ‘Bongsb’ Line‑Up

I’m speaking here with my brand‑rep hat firmly on, and the first thing I tell every new mate who walks into our Byron Bay storefront is this: each Bongsb booklet is hand‑packed straight after the sheets leave the gum‑line roller. That tiny delay between press and pack keeps natural moisture locked in, so the paper bends rather than cracks when you’re out bush. The 1¼ Classic sits at the heart of the range—ultra‑thin, rice–hemp hybrid, finished with a run‑proof criss‑cross watermark that kills canoeing before it starts. But Bongsb isn’t a one‑trick pony. Slims give festival crews more room for blend yet still keep flavour clean, and our Wide King, well, that’s the go‑to for anyone spinning in a cyclone or stuffing a party cone. Each booklet drops into compost like gum leaves once you’re done—zero plastic, zero nasties—so you can spark up with a clear conscience. The phrase raw rolling papers gets thrown around plenty, yet the Bongsb series shows what “raw” really means: unrefined fibres, unbleached tan, and a whisper‑thin natural gum that activates with the lightest touch of tongue.

How to Match Your Paper to Your Blend

Every herb mix tells its own story—sticky mountain bush, citrus‑crazy hydro, smooth hash crumbs—so your sheet choice has to follow suit. Light, high‑terpene strains love the Ultra Thin because there’s literally less paper taste between buds and tastebuds; the sheet rides at 13 gsm, almost see‑through, and burns slow enough for chill veranda sessions.

Heavy resins, on the other hand, call for Bongsb Hemp King: that extra width lets you double back the tuck without choking airflow. My rule of thumb is simple: the messier your blend, the bigger the deck. Roll, pinch, flip, and walk away knowing the watermark is working behind the scenes, pulling heat evenly down the barrel. And if you’re keen on cones instead of straights, grab our Pre‑Roll Tubes—they come with paper tips factory‑fitted so you can twist, drop, and spark on the sand before the tide changes. Nothing ruins good product faster than a bad funnel, so keep a stash of pre‑rolls in the esky when mates roll through.

Accessorising the Session – Grinders, Tips, and Maintenance

No Bongsb buyer’s kit feels complete until you’ve chucked a fibre herb grinder into the mix. Most metal teeth mash fragile terps into the lid, but the natural composite teeth in ours grip rather than shred, leaving crystals intact and fingers resin‑free. Quick pro move: flip the grinder upside down for a few spins after the first chop—gravity forces the fluff through the teeth twice, giving you an even rain of green that rolls tighter and lights cleaner. Once you’ve got the perfect ribbon, reach for RAW Maestro tips. They’re pre‑spiralled, meaning less paper in contact with lips, and they help hold shape even when you’re halfway through the sesh and chatting footy scores. Between missions, sling your gear in a smell‑proof pouch; crushed paper is nobody’s friend, and humidity here in Queensland can buckle a booklet quicker than a midday sunburn. From the gum‑line to the grinder, every tool in the Bongsb ecosystem is built so you can spend more time enjoying flavour and less time fighting hardware.
