Vance Global

What Is Vance Global's Strength Ladder — From CBD to Delta-9?

Vance Global is unusual among hemp-cigarette brands because it does not pick a single lane. The lineup runs along a clear intensity ladder, so you choose by the effect you actually want. At the calm end sit the pure CBD smokes — the original "Pures" — which are non-intoxicating and aimed at relaxation, ritual and harm reduction from tobacco without any psychoactive effect. The Pures carry approximately 150mg of CBD per cigarette, 0.0% Delta-9 THC.

The All Natural Blend (ANB) sits just above — organic hemp flower mixed with a small amount of lavender, delivering around 100mg of CBD in a blend that adds an aromatic layer to the smoke without any intoxication. Above that come the intoxicating tiers: Delta-8 cigarettes (100mg CBD + 50mg D8 per stick) for a gentle, clear-headed lift; HHC cigarettes (50mg HHC per stick) for a smooth, relaxed effect; THCA cigarettes for near-dispensary-grade potency on combustion; and Delta-9 at the top of the ladder. Within each tier, Vance Global uses a patented infusion process — not simply rolling flower into paper, but actively infusing the cannabinoid distillate into the hemp flower using a proprietary method that ensures consistent distribution of potency throughout every cigarette.

What Goes Into a Vance Global Hemp Cigarette — Ingredients and Process?

Every Vance Global cigarette is hand-rolled and packed in their Milwaukee, Wisconsin production facility. The ingredients are deliberately minimal and traceable: organic CBD hemp flower sourced from licensed farms in Oregon and Wisconsin (a few counties from the company's offices), unbleached hemp rolling paper (not wood pulp), and biodegradable wood-fiber filters. No tobacco. No nicotine. No artificial additives or preservatives. THC content tested to less than 0.03% — one tenth of the standard Farm Bill 0.3% threshold, and significantly lower than most hemp flower products on the market.

The hemp is lab tested three separate times before Vance Global even begins the handling process — a multi-stage verification that covers potency, purity and cannabinoid profile. The patented infusion process that applies Delta-8, HHC or THCA distillate to the hemp flower is proprietary and is part of what the brand points to when buyers ask why a Vance cigarette smokes differently from other hemp rolls. A VANCE-branded black tipping paper doubles as an authenticity seal against counterfeits — any Vance cigarette without the branded tip is not a genuine product.

Why Are Vance Global Filters Biodegradable and How Fast Do They Break Down?

Standard cigarette filters are made from cellulose acetate — a form of plastic that can take years to degrade in the environment. Cigarette butts are consistently ranked among the most common items of litter found globally. Vance Global uses high-airflow wood-fiber filters that biodegrade in approximately 17 days — a direct environmental counter to conventional filter waste. The biodegradable filter is paired with unbleached hemp rolling paper and eco-friendly packaging including an eco-seal, giving the entire product a minimal environmental footprint from pack to ash.

The high-airflow design also serves a functional purpose: wood-fiber filters provide a slightly different draw resistance from cellulose acetate, and many Vance Global reviewers note the filter feels and performs distinctly from a standard cigarette filter — contributing to the overall smoke quality rather than simply replicating a tobacco cigarette's filter feel. For environmentally minded smokers who want the smoking ritual without the plastic waste legacy of standard cigarettes, the biodegradable filter is the single most distinctive feature of the Vance Global product design.

Who Founded Vance Global and How Did It Grow So Fast?

Vance Global was founded in 2018 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by August Battles and Brandon Marhal — two young Wisconsin entrepreneurs who identified the hemp cigarette category as an entirely open market immediately after the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp. The brand began making prototypes in 2018 and took its first orders in January 2019. By the end of their first week of sales, the company had sold over $100,000 in cigarettes. By July 2019 — just six months into operations — approximately one million packs of Vance cigarettes had been sold. USA Today recognised Vance Global as a top seller in the hemp cigarette industry in 2020.

The growth trajectory reflects the market timing: Vance Global launched at the exact moment that hemp cigarettes became a legal, widely distributable product, with manufacturing infrastructure already in place, a clear product concept and a distribution strategy targeting the retail channels — gas stations, smoke shops, pharmacies — where tobacco smokers already shop. By 2021 the brand was stocked in more than 250 stores. The company remains founder-owned and Milwaukee-based, still producing in-house at the original facility.

What Else Does Vance Global Make Beyond Hemp Cigarettes?

Hemp cigarettes remain the core of the Vance Global catalog, but the brand has expanded its range across formats for consumers who want the same organic, lab-tested quality in different consumption styles:

• Cartons (10 packs): Bulk purchasing for regular Vance smokers — the same cigarette products at carton volume for buyers who already know their preferred strength tier.
• CBD and Delta-8 Gummies: Vance Global's edible line carrying the brand's same all-natural, lab-tested formulation into chewable format for consumers who prefer not to smoke.
• 510 Vape Cartridges: For buyers who already own a 510 battery and want Vance Global's cannabinoid quality in a vape format. Browse the full 510 hemp vape carts at Pro Cannabis for every cartridge format and compatible device.
