Dedy,

The papers that are included with American Spirit loose tobacco, brand name

Rizla + blue, made in the U.K. where you are, are somehow different and

better than American Spirits prerolled cigarettes and all commercial

cigarettes. Paper goes out with the tobacco which is often so you know

there's no keep burning additives. If I smoke any cigarette not an American

Spirit handrolled in this paper I can taste and smell chlorine used to

bleach paper. DH thinks the Rizlas could be rice paper, unbleached and not

wood pulp paper, bleached. Didn't realize they were U.K. made till right

now. If they are bleached wood pulp the U.K's process is definitely

different than the U.S's.

Thanks for the info Wanita... yes Rizla is the brand I use... I did a bit of

research on their sites... strangely their Belgian site has the most factual

info...

Here's some more trivial Rizla info :-)

The 'KS Bleu' Rizla is made from linen [flax] and hemp fibres !!! and yes it's

unbleached... all have natural Gum Arabic for bonding and all are 100% natural

[whatever that means:-)]

Rizlas are not made of rice [riz] but the material used in the process resembles

rice in the first stage of production hence the name.... seems all their

products have been unbleached since 1996.

Many thanks for the research, Dedy! Wasn't imagining the bleach after all.

The gum arabic should make the licking gluten free too, unlike mailing

envelope glue.
