To quote an old Latin proverb – “necessity is the mother of invention”. And, out of necessity, came e-z wider.

Dating back to the early 70’s when leisure suits were in and short hair was out, two New York advertising executives set out to find the elusive, wide-size cigarette rolling paper.

Failing at their quest, the two, who even tried sticking narrow papers together to roll a smoke, set out to make their own paper.

What seemed easy wasn’t so.

Destined to find a cigarette paper manufacturer willing to make a wider paper, the two ended up overseas on what turned out to be an international adventure.

After a long and interesting journey, they found themselves at the doorstep of the company who finally agreed to produce, and who eventually purchased, the original e-z wider cigarette paper.

And since the birth of the doublewide style, the
e-z wider family has grown to include a variety of quality papers ranging from Slow Burning to Pure Hemp to Lights and Ultra Lights.
