The cannabis industry keeps growing, but so do the pressures on brands. Buyers expect consistency. Retailers want products that look familiar. Consumers expect a smooth experience from start to finish. In a category where first impressions matter, how a product looks can be just as important as how it performs.
For many brands exploring alternatives to traditional tobacco wraps, the decision to switch hasn’t been simple. Even when the product inside offers a cleaner burn, smoother handling, and a more natural experience, appearance still drives perception. That was the impetus behind our introduction of Botani Smooth—a texture option created to match the familiar, uniform look of blunts while preserving the natural composition and sensory experience customers expect from our products.
A Natural Look, Now in a Familiar Form
Botani’s standard blunt wrapper sets the bar for quality. It burns evenly, holds up in production, and offers a clean, botanical aroma. Its natural texture signals authenticity and stands apart from more processed alternatives. But some customers want a texture that feels more familiar—something that matches the uniform appearance of blunts while still delivering clean performance.
Botani Smooth was created to close the wrap gap. It’s made from the same botanical base and delivers the same experience, but the texture has been refined during processing. The result is a cleaner, more uniform surface that feels familiar to brands used to traditional blunt wraps.

Why Appearance Matters
In a category where perception shapes decisions, appearance makes a difference. Some buyers hesitated to switch because the original texture looked unfamiliar. Botani Smooth was developed to match the look of blunts while keeping the same natural composition, helping brands make the transition with confidence.
Full Sensory Experience
Botani Smooth doesn’t just look the part—it touches all the senses. The refined texture enhances the full experience: it feels smooth, looks smooth, smells smooth, and tastes smooth.
Offering a Real Choice
Botani didn’t phase out its original texture. Some customers still prefer the earthy, more natural look of the standard wrap. Others are drawn to the polished appearance of Smooth. The company supports both options so brands can choose the one that fits their product strategy.
For certain SKUs, Botani now defaults to Smooth, especially when appearance is key to adoption. That shift reflects what the market wants and allows customers to get started with fewer barriers.
How the Market Has Responded
Smooth has garnered fans. Some buyers who were hesitant about the original texture have since made Smooth their primary choice. Others continue to offer both formats.
The takeaway is simple: Smooth makes the product easier to adopt without asking buyers to compromise on quality or expectations. In a competitive market, that’s a smooth option.
