What Makes Empire Rolling Cones Better Than Store-Bought Brands?

If you've ever used store-bought pre-rolled cones, you probably know the pain: uneven burns, paper that tastes like chemicals, or cones that tear before you even start packing them.

At Empire Rolling, we set out to fix all that — and we did. Here’s how our UltraSmooth Cones are different from the big-box brands you see on every shelf.


🧪 1. Lab-Tested for Clean, Smooth Smoking

Most cone brands don’t advertise what’s in their papers — and that’s a red flag. Empire Rolling cones are tested for:

  • Heavy metals

  • Pesticides

  • Additives

We publish our lab results because you deserve to know what you’re smoking.


🌱 2. Materials That Make a Difference

Unlike the mass-market brands, we don’t bleach or dye our papers. Empire cones are made from:

  • Responsibly sourced wood pulp or hemp

  • No bleach, no chalk, no mystery “burn enhancers”

  • Ultra-thin for a smooth, even burn

And if you're into colors, our tints are safe and aesthetic — without flavoring or harsh chemicals.


🔥 3. Designed to Burn Better

We engineered our cones to avoid the classic issues:

  • No “canoeing”

  • No overpowering paper taste

  • Burns evenly from tip to end

If you've used other cones that go out constantly or burn too fast — you’ll immediately notice the upgrade.


🌎 4. Eco-Conscious Every Step of the Way

From hemp-based packaging to zero plastic, we build everything around reducing our carbon footprint. Plus, we support reforestation efforts with the Rainforest Foundation.


💸 5. Real Value, Premium Feel

Some other brands charge more, market harder, and still don’t deliver. With Empire, you're paying for quality — not hype.


🎯 Final Thoughts

Not all cones are created equal. If you're tired of the inconsistency, it's time to try something smoother, cleaner, and better designed.
