Where to find Juicy Jay's
Our story
The Juicy Jay's story began in the late 1980s when founder Josh Kesselman earned the nickname "Cool J" during a trip to Queens, inspired by his love for LL Cool J. What started as "Cool Jay's" menthol wraps quickly evolved into the iconic Juicy Jay's brand with their breakthrough watermelon-flavored papers. Kesselman developed the concept further in 1993 after connecting with a rolling paper factory owner in Spain's Alcoy region, establishing partnerships that would define the brand's commitment to quality.In 2009, Juicy Jay's fought a crucial FDA legal battle to protect their products in the US marketplace, successfully defending their right to continue operations. This victory solidified their position as one of the few remaining flavored paper brands in America. By 2018, the brand had expanded to over 30 different flavors, becoming synonymous with bold, innovative taste experiences. The same company behind Juicy Jay's also created the globally successful RAW rolling papers brand, demonstrating their deep expertise in smoking accessories and natural paper production.
