At the conference, Kesselman introduced a new collaboration with CCELL, a premium vape producer, to develop a product that accommodates all types of legal live rosin. Live rosin is a solventless cannabis concentrate made from fresh-frozen cannabis plants. The working title for the product is RAWsin.
Kesselman also highlighted the pivotal role he plays in the research and development of each new product added to the RAW family of products. "If the product isn't right, we have failed at our job," he stated, underscoring his dedication to maintaining the high quality customers have come to expect of RAW products. "We are here to serve each other," he added, emphasizing this as one of the core values he instills in his staff.
The HBI founder's overarching goal is to provide RAW's dedicated community with high-quality products that enhance their smoking experience. Since launching the brand in 2005, Kesselman has built an independent global brand known for producing high-quality, plant-based rolling papers and other smoking accessories.
