I have to admit, I'm unlikely to spend a full week with our next papers, but when I saw them, I just had to try them...

That's right... Randy's! But in particular, Randy's Roots, which is apparently their attempt to lure the crunchier tokers amongst us into smoking their stainless steel rods... and goshdarnit did they succeed, because here we are...
Natural! Unbleached! Vegan! American!
So many buzzwords I feel like these might actually be good for me, smoking that stainless steel wire be damned!
Honestly, there's something endearing about Randy's, the paper I joke to my friends about when we're waxing nostalgic about being young idiots smoking out of tin cans and whatnot, making papers professing their natural materials and earth friendly credentials

Now since the whole point of Randy's is the built in roach clip I skipped the crutch here. Initial impressions... Slow burning with just a bit of paper taste. Glue holds well. The wire makes it hard to roll the spliff/cones I prefer but overall they're pretty user friendly. Funny enough the lack of a crease is kind of nice for me and if you dumped the wire I think I'd actually really like these papers. They are kind of hard to get out of the pack though... theyre like tissues, you pull one and half the box wants to come with it
And as for that wire...

Let's face it, it's completely useless lol. There is no world where a crutch isn't superior in every way. Also the wire is way flimsier than I remember... the wind had this thing moving all over the place, made it kind of hard to hit holding the wire alone... plus realistically, by the time the joint is small enough to need the wire, I'm probably on to the next joint anyways...
