Method for manually winding a smoking paper including a sheet or sleeve with a custom shape

A method for manually winding a smoking paper, the method comprising:

• providing a flat sheet or sleeve formed of smokable material configured to be manually rolled by a consumer, the flat sheet or sleeve having a generally rectangular base section and a generally triangular wrapper section defining a dividing line therebetween;
• the generally rectangular base section having two long sides and two short sides;
• the generally triangular wrapper section having a hypotenuse and having a base extending from one of the short sides of the generally rectangular base section to the hypotenuse;
• the generally triangular wrapper section including a first cut-off region at an intersection of the base and the hypotenuse, and the generally triangular wrapper section including a second cut-off region disposed adjacent to the first cut-off region and extending at an acute angle of between 5° and 60° relative to the one short side of the generally rectangular base section;
• and
• manually rolling the generally triangular wrapper section around the generally rectangular base section into a tube with a progressive spiral winding geometry by initially manually grasping the second cut-off region and then the first cut-off region, thereby reducing local bending stress and facilitating uniform manual rolling of the smokable material without tearing or creasing.
