King Palm UK Stockist

Palm leaf and hemp are not the same purchase

King Palm built its reputation on hand-rolled palm leaf. The material is Cordia leaf, and the selling point is that it holds its shape without glue, dyes or artificial binders, because the leaf is sturdy enough to do the job on its own. Slow burn, plenty of airflow, and a flavour that comes from the leaf rather than from anything added to it. If you have heard of this brand, that is almost certainly what you heard about.

The hemp cones are a different line entirely. They are made from hemp paper, pressed into a cone shape with a filter tip already fitted, and they behave like a very good pre-rolled paper rather than like a leaf. Tobacco free, no additives, and considerably more familiar if you have ever used a cone from any other brand.

Neither is better. They are different things, and the reason to be clear about it is that a lot of people arrive at this brand specifically wanting the leaf. If that is you, our shelf will disappoint you, and we would rather say so on the page than let you find out at the checkout.

One detail worth knowing whichever side you end up on: King Palm packs its cones with a packing stick, which is the small tool used to press your material down evenly rather than tamping it with whatever is to hand. The filter fitted in the hemp cones is corn husk rather than the rolled card most brands use, and that filter turns out to do more than filter. What it does is the subject of a section further down, because it is the fact most likely to change how you get on with these.

Which cone size holds what

We carry the hemp cones in two sizes and the difference between them is capacity rather than anything else. This is the single most useful fact for choosing, and no page selling the brand in the UK publishes it.

A one and a quarter size cone holds roughly three quarters of a gram. A king size cone holds roughly a gram. In King Palm's own catalogue those map to the 84mm and 109mm categories respectively, with a 70mm mini size below both that we do not carry.

So the choice is straightforward. If you want a shorter session or you are sharing less, take the one and a quarter. If you want the full gram in one go, take king size. The three flavoured lines we stock are all one and a quarter and our king size line is the natural, unflavoured one, so on our shelf you are choosing between flavour and capacity rather than getting both. That is a limit of what our distributor carries and not of the brand: King Palm does make flavoured king size hemp cones, we just do not have them.

How many cones come in a pack is where the listings stop agreeing with one another, and it is worth being straight about that. King Palm's own product pages sell the one and a quarter hemp cone as a six cone pack and the king size as a three cone pack. Marketplace listings for two of our exact flavours, Banana Foster and Lil Lemon, say the same: one and a quarter, six per pack. A US wholesaler describes both configurations identically.

Our own product titles disagree with all of that, and they also disagree with our own photographs. Three of them say three cones while the picture on the same listing is a six cone pack, and the king size line reads sixty three cones, which is not a quantity anybody makes. We are treating the manufacturer's figures as the reliable ones and confirming the exact quantity against every listing with our distributor before this range opens to orders. Until that is settled we would rather show you the conflict than pick a number and sound certain.

The number in brackets on each of our titles is a trade display count rather than a cone count. A cone display holds thirty packs, which is how a shop buys them, and the fifty on the papers listing looks like the same convention applied to booklets, though that one we have not confirmed.

The hemp rolling papers need a specification of their own, because ours does not state a size and for a rolling paper that is the main thing you need to know. King Palm makes the flavoured hemp papers in one and a quarter only, which settles what ours are. A booklet holds forty leaves with forty unrolled paper tips, each leaf around seventy eight by forty six millimetres, from hemp fibre the brand describes as organically grown and free of dyes, bleaches and added chemicals. The king size hemp paper, which we do not carry, comes as thirty two leaves and thirty two tips instead.

The flavour is in the filter, not the paper

This is the one thing about the flavoured cones that nothing selling them in Britain bothers to explain, and not knowing it is the likeliest way to be disappointed by them. The hemp paper is unflavoured. The flavour sits in a sealed terpene bead inside the corn husk filter tip, and until that bead is broken the cone tastes of very little.

King Palm calls it squeeze and pop. You pinch the filter between finger and thumb until you feel the bead give way, and from that draw onwards the terpenes carry through. Before that, a Banana Foster cone and a Natural cone are close to the same thing.

Two consequences follow, and both are practical. If you buy a flavoured line expecting it to taste of something immediately, you will conclude the pack is faulty when in fact you have not started it. And the flavour is under your control rather than the manufacturer's, because a bead left intact is simply an unflavoured cone. That is genuinely useful if you are working through a pack with somebody who does not want fruit.

The hemp rolling papers work the other way round. There the flavour is on the paper itself with a matching paper tip, so it is present from the first draw and there is nothing to pop. Same brand, same flavour idea, two completely different mechanisms, and no listing we found anywhere says so.

A brand that is genuinely hard to buy in Britain

Something odd turns up when you research this brand from a UK address. Search for the specific products we sell and almost everything that comes back is American.

US smoke shops, US wholesalers, US marketplace listings, and the brand's own international site. There is a UK-facing King Palm storefront at a British address, sitting behind an age gate, and it carries roughly fifty words of copy with no specification on it whatsoever.

The one British page that does rank properly for this brand is stranger still. It is a Manchester wholesaler, it runs to well over a thousand words about King Palm, and it is trade only: it does not sell to the public at all. So the strongest UK page for this brand is one that an ordinary customer is not able to buy anything from, which goes a long way to explaining why nobody has written a useful consumer page about it.

That is unusual. Most of the brands on this site are fought over by six or eight UK retailers each. King Palm is a large, well-known name that hardly anyone here appears to be selling, or at least hardly anyone is writing anything about selling.

For you that mostly means one thing: buying from a UK stockist avoids an import. Ordering rolling accessories from an American retailer means international shipping on a low-weight item and, depending on the value, a customs charge on the other end. It is not complicated, it is just tedious, and there is no reason to do it for a cone.

It also means there is very little independent information about this brand written for a British reader, which is most of why this page runs as long as it does.

How King Palm compares with the other cone brands we stock

Our rolling paper aisle runs to 31 lines across eleven brands, and four of those brands make cones. They divide up more cleanly than you might expect.

King Palm is the capacity specialist. Two clearly differentiated sizes with published capacities, a packing stick in the pack, and the option of a natural unflavoured cone, which several rivals do not bother with.

G-Rollz is the artwork and flavour specialist. Three cone lines, licensed Banksy and Cheech and Chong designs, a nine-flavour system shared with its wraps, and a QR code on the booklet to verify the pack is genuine. More choice, more personality, no published capacity.

Monkey King is the one-brand-covers-everything option, with cones alongside booklets, rolls and papers with tips. If you want a single order to cover several formats, that is the one.

Mr Tipp's is the outlier, a pre-rolled hemp blunt tube with a glass tip, which is a different product again.

Where the flavour physically lives is the axis nobody else in this aisle sets out, and it separates these brands more cleanly than the flavour names do. King Palm keeps it in a bead in the filter, so you decide whether to use it. G-Rollz infuses terpenes into the cone itself on its Cheech and Chong line, so the choice is made for you. Monkey King and Mr Tipp's do not flavour their cones at all.

One more thing worth saying plainly, since this is a CBD shop and none of the above contains a cannabinoid: if what you actually want is a rolling paper with CBD in it, there is exactly one in our aisle and it is not this brand. ROOR makes a CBD-infused king size paper. Every other line here, King Palm included, is hemp as a material only.

So the honest summary: King Palm if you care how much the cone holds and want the flavour switchable, G-Rollz if you care how it looks and want more flavours, Monkey King if you want everything from one brand, ROOR if you want the cannabinoid.

Where King Palm is strong, and where it is not

Strong: the specification, once you find it. Two sizes with real published capacities is more than any other cone brand we stock manages, and it makes choosing genuinely easy.

Also strong: the packing stick and the corn husk tip. Small, practical, and unusual in a category where most brands ship a cone and nothing else.

Also strong: the bead in the filter. It is the only flavour system in this aisle you can decline to use, since leaving it unbroken gives you an unflavoured cone from a flavoured pack.

Also strong, and worth noting because it has been rare across this whole run of brand research: King Palm's own website makes no health or benefit claims about smoking. Six of the brands we have written up had a top-ranking page that did. This one does not, and that deserves saying.

Weaker: we do not stock the thing the brand is known for. If palm leaf is what you want, this shelf cannot help you and neither can any other brand here.

Weaker: the brand publishes navigation where it ought to publish information. Its own collection pages and even its own blog post about pre-rolled cones returned menus rather than specification. The capacity figures in the table above came from third-party retail listings, not from King Palm.

Weaker: only one natural, unflavoured line, and it is king size only. If you want an unflavoured one and a quarter, we do not have one, although popping no bead on a flavoured one gets you most of the way there.

Weaker, and this one is ours rather than the brand's: our listings cannot agree how many cones are in a pack. Three of the four cone titles state one number, the photographs on those same listings show another, and the fourth states a quantity nobody manufactures. We are resolving it with our distributor, and you should know it is unresolved while you read this page.

Weaker, also ours: the papers listing does not say what size booklet you are getting. King Palm only makes the flavoured hemp papers in one and a quarter, so that is what these are, but a listing should not make a reader work that out.

Weaker: everything reaches us through a single distributor.

Who should not buy this: anyone here for a cannabinoid, since nothing in this range contains one. Anyone specifically after palm leaf. And anyone who wants a wide flavour choice, where G-Rollz carries eight or nine per line against our three flavoured King Palm cones.

Where King Palm sits under UK law

There is very little to say here, and that is the honest answer rather than an omission. Nothing in the King Palm range we stock contains cannabidiol, THC or any other cannabinoid. These are rolling accessories made from hemp and hemp paper, so none of the cannabinoid rules that govern the rest of this site apply to them.

No Novel Foods question, because nothing here is ingestible cannabidiol. No per-container THC test, because there is no THC to test for. No lab certificate, because there is nothing to certify.

What does apply is the age restriction. Everything on this page is 18+ only, as is everything else we sell.

One thing we will not do, here or anywhere else on this site, is tell you that one rolling material is healthier or safer to smoke than another. Several pages ranking for other brands in this aisle do exactly that. Smoking anything is not a health decision and a retailer is not the party to rank options on that basis.

Buying King Palm in the UK

This is one of the easier arguments we have had to make for buying from a UK stockist, because the alternative is largely an American one.

What we have added: a clear statement up front that our range is the hemp side and not the palm leaf, so nobody orders the wrong thing. The capacity mapping for the two cone sizes, assembled from retail listings because the brand does not publish it in one place. The bead in the filter, and why a flavoured cone tastes of nothing until you pop it. A proper specification for the papers, including the size our own listing leaves out. And a comparison against the three other cone brands on our shelves, including the cases where they beat this one.

We have also published a conflict that reflects badly on us rather than on the brand, which is that our own cone counts do not match the manufacturer's or our own photographs. It would be easier to quietly pick a number. A page that only tells you the flattering things is not worth reading.

We stock those three other brands, so when G-Rollz suits your flavour or Monkey King suits your order better, we will point you there and say why.

If our distributor starts supplying King Palm's palm leaf lines, this page changes on the day it happens, because that is the range most people are actually looking for.
