City Lights Set in Bourgeois Black
Our black smoking accessories pair a stoneware Manhattan Match Striker with 3 packs of Chris Wilson Rolling Papers for the perfect sesh. Everything you need to light up beautifully, wrapped in original art, and doing a little good in the world while you're at it.
Who It's For
The design addict who wants a chemical-free burn and something stunning to spark it with.
The Manhattan Match Striker
An abstract sculptural ode to the female form and your official excuse to never touch a butane lighter again. Strike the included color-coordinated safety matches on the plate underneath, or go rogue with strike-anywhere matches on the unglazed base. Two ways to light up, both of them better than whatever you were doing before. Approximately 2.13" high x 1.25" diameter. Includes color-coordinated safety matches and a replacement striking plate. Stoneware with food-safe glaze. Hand wash only. Replace it if any cracks or crazing develop over time. Slight variations show the artist's hand.
Chris Wilson Collection Rolling Papers
These papers are wrapped in Positive Delusions, an original painting by artist and social justice advocate Chris Wilson. It's a visual diary of how he survived solitary confinement, and it carries the full weight of that experience. At 17, Chris was sentenced to life in prison. While incarcerated, he educated himself, built a plan, and convinced a judge he deserved a second chance. He is now free and has built a celebrated life as an artist, author, and advocate. King-size, unbleached hemp, 33 leaves per booklet, with thin slow-burning filter tips included. A portion of every sale supports Chris directly and goes to Solitary Watch, the premier nonprofit working to inform US policymakers and the public about the harms of solitary confinement.
To maximize support for our artists and their nonprofit partners, discounts do not apply to the rolling papers in this set.
Using the Set
Roll your blend into one of the Chris Wilson papers, strike your match on the plate underneath the striker, and light up. The whole ritual takes about thirty seconds and looks considerably better than it did before. When you're done, the match striker sits on your table like the art object it is and waits patiently for next time.
Color Story
This black is called Bourgeois Black, named for sculptor and painter Louise Bourgeois. She went straight at the darkest parts of human experience: trauma, family, sexuality, feminism. And somehow made them beautiful. Her most famous sculpture is a massive spider she named after her mother. Black, in her hands, was never just a color. It was a position. It's one of 7 colors the City Lights Set comes in.

Frequently Asked Questions
You can read step-by-step instructions here or you can watch this video with step-by-step instructions showing how to roll.
Our Manhattan Match Striker gives you two ways to get lit, depending on your style. Our holder comes loaded with safety matches, which are the most widely available type and can only be ignited against a phosphorus surface. To light safety matches, strike them against the phosphorus dot on the bottom of our holder. Or, if you prefer to use strike-anywhere matches, light those by striking them against the unglazed surface at the bottom of our holder. Either way, you have a chic, functional lighter alternative.
When the original striking plate wears down on our Manhattan Match Striker, simply peel it off and clean off any glue residue from the surface. Then peel and stick the included replacement plate into place. This quick swap will keep your match striker looking and functioning like new.
Instead of sparking up directly with a lighter or matches, try using a hemp wick. Lighters contain chemicals, like butane, and matches contain phosphorus—neither of which you want to inhale. Check out why you should be using a hemp wick here or watch this video to learn more about hemp wick. You can grab hemp wick with a reusable container on houseofpuff.com!
