Roll a better blunt with Al Capone Blunt Wraps
Easy rolling and slow burning, Al Capone Wraps are designed for blunt smokers only.
Blunt smokers tend to be loyal. You have your favorite wraps and you would wonder why they make the best rolling and smoking. If your brand is Al Capone, you already know why their slow-burn, all-natural leaf wraps are constructed differently. If you represent another brand, allow us to argue why Al Capone’s intentionally crafted blunt wraps could win your top spot.
Al Capone has been in the cigarillo and cigar business since the 1990’s with a mission to create the perfect blunt wrap and launched its natural leaf wraps in 2016 after approaching blunt enthusiasts directly for research and development had turned. The result is a wrap that is precisely tailored to the needs of the blunt smoker.
We got up close and personal with all three Al Capone wrap flavors – Original, Cognac and Rum – to show why they’re designed to please even the most dedicated diehards.
The case
There is an art to rolling a good blunt, and success begins with the quality of the packaging.
Al Capone began work on his specially designed blunt wraps after noticing a surge in demand for an all-natural wrap. The 100% natural leaf wraps are individually wrapped to protect them from every smooth blunt roll’s greatest enemy: staleness. Imagine every brittle, cracked package you’ve ever broken open, and then imagine the exact opposite. These wraps are fresh out of the bag, with a silky texture and a really stretchy feel.
They’re precut to just the right size, so there’s no messing around after tearing open the pouch. The leaves are soft and resilient with no thick veins to get in the way of a tight, smooth roll. Right out of the box, we even wondered if a wrap might be too fresh—Al Capones are so silky smooth that we weren’t sure at first if we’d have enough texture to easily shape the herb in the wrap—but As if by magic, a few seconds in the fresh air and the wrap is the ideal texture for a beautiful roll.

They’re so flexible and easy to use that it’s hard to believe they’re also the only wraps in the game with a double blade, but that’s the facts! And the proof is in the slow burn that the double wrap delivers.
The role
Good wraps have to be functional, so how do Al Capones wrap? A sweet-spot combination of stretchy, soft and strong, the wraps are easy to handle, with just enough texture to feel nice between your fingers while shaping your herb and to roll smoothly as you scoop the leaf put in. The wraps roll well whether or not you use a crutch or filter, so choose your own adventure there.
Seasoned blunt smokers and newbies alike will appreciate another detail that sets Al Capone Wraps apart: their natural self-adhesive strips. Nothing is more annoying than rolling up a nicely wrapped blunt for the spin only to have it not seal properly. Not a factor at Al Capone. Finish your roll by peeling off the strip and pushing it down for a tight, reliable seal that’s built for the rounds this blunt will turn during its super slow burn.

Pro tip: In our testing, we found that the ideal time to pull off the strip is after you’ve started rolling – at that point, when the blunt is balanced in your two hands, it’s easy to pull the strip with Grab your hands and pull off your mouth and then finish the last twist.
The smoke
Really, when it comes to the quality of a wrap, it’s all about the smoke. At Al Capone Wraps, two words sum it up: smooth and slow.
To test how Al Capone wraps light up, we rolled each of the brand’s flavors with a different flavor. For blunt smokers, flavors can make or break a wrap. Some smokers swear by a brand because they have a wrap flavor they love, and others just prefer the most natural flavor they can get their hands on. Al Capone’s flavored varieties of Cognac & Rum could easily be why you reach for these wraps at the store.
Cognac, with its subtle maltiness, and rum, with its light fruit aroma, are both designed not to overpower – each has a nice sweetness coming out of the pouch that doesn’t overwhelm your nose or the aroma of your cannabis. Original lacks some of that sweetness, but if you prefer a more natural wrap, it’s fresh with all the right notes and really lets the spiciness of your herb take center stage.
Upon firing, we found that all three strains blended well with the herb and had a subtle, balanced effect where you could taste the natural leaf covering along with the strain’s unique notes. While smaller wraps have a harsh smoke or can overwhelm you with heavy flavors, Al Capone wraps are smooth, smooth, smooth.
Thanks to the double sheet and the fact that these wraps are so easy to roll, you can expect a nice, long burn. For party-sized rotations where the blunt has to endure a lot of passes, these are the wraps we want. When you’re alone, the slow-burning, smooth smoke these wraps deliver is luxurious enough to make you feel like you’re partying.
