Local vs. Imported Wraps: Which Reigns in Puerto Rico?
When it comes to rolling up, one big question always pops up: Do I go local or imported with my wraps? In Puerto Rico, both have a place in the sesh — but let’s break it down.
🇵🇷 Local Wrap Brands & Benefits:
Some PR-based headshops carry or even make their own wraps using natural ingredients like guava leaves or palm. Pros:
- Support local businesses
- Fresher products (less time in cargo)
- Unique flavors you won’t find in the States
🌍 Imported Wraps:
Think RAW, Backwoods, Swishers, High Hemp, King Palm — the classics. These are known, trusted, and consistent. You know exactly what you're getting with a Honey Berry Backwood or a Mango High Hemp.
👃 Flavor & Burn Comparison:
- Imported wraps often have better flavor variety.
- Local wraps may burn slower and feel more organic.
- Quality can vary depending on the source — always try before judging!
🎯 Price Check:
Imported = higher price (especially with shipping/taxes).
Local = often more affordable, but may be hit or miss if not stored properly.
Island Tip: Keep a mix! Use local wraps for chill house sessions and imported wraps for flex nights or when you want that premium puff.
