The Complete Guide to XL Rolling Papers (130mm Explained)

What are XL rolling papers?

XL rolling papers are longer than standard king size slim papers.
While most king size slim papers measure around 108–110mm, Loud LDN XL rolling papers extend to 130mm, offering more length and, in some formats, additional width.

But XL papers aren’t simply “bigger”. They exist because some people want more control over how a session unfolds, rather than being boxed into a short, one-and-done format.

At Loud LDN, XLoud papers were designed to answer a simple question:

What if a rolling paper didn’t force you to rush?


Why 130mm exists

The jump from ~110mm to 130mm might not sound dramatic on paper, but in practice it changes how people roll and how they pace a session.

A longer format means:

  • More room to work with

  • Greater flexibility in how a roll is constructed

  • The option to pause and return later without needing to roll again

XL papers weren’t created to increase speed or intensity. They were created to slow things down.


XL vs King Size Slim (the practical difference)

King size slim papers are efficient and familiar. They suit short sessions and quick rolls.

XL rolling papers suit a different mindset:

  • Fewer interruptions

  • Less re-rolling

  • More control over timing

Rather than framing this as “better vs worse”, it’s more accurate to see XL as the next format up for people who’ve outgrown the limitations of standard sizes.


How XL rolling papers change pacing

One of the most overlooked aspects of rolling paper design is pacing.

Standard formats often encourage finishing a roll in one sitting. XL formats don’t impose that pressure. Many people prefer XL papers because they allow for:

  • Natural pauses

  • Breaks without waste

  • Returning later without starting again

That flexibility is the real difference.

XL rolling papers aren’t about doing more — they’re about doing less, less often.


Who XL rolling papers are for

XL rolling papers tend to suit people who:

  • Dislike re-rolling multiple times

  • Prefer longer, more relaxed sessions

  • Value control over speed

  • See rolling as part of the experience, not a chore

They’re not for everyone — and that’s exactly why they work so well for those who choose them.


Final thoughts

XL rolling papers exist because habits change.
As people move away from rushed formats, longer papers offer a different rhythm — one built around pacing, flexibility, and control.

Once people experience that shift, many don’t go back.
