Abstract: Multi-ply paper products and methods of making such products includes providing a first furnish including a primary pulp having papermaking fibers with a weight-weighted average fiber length, a coarseness of about sixteen milligrams per one hundred meters or lower, and being at least eighty percent of the papermaking fibers of the first furnish, forming a nascent web having at least two layers, one of the layers being a surface layer of the nascent web and formed from the first furnish, dewatering the nascent web to form a dewatered web, and drying the dewatered web to form a multi-ply paper product. The multi-ply paper product includes a first ply and a second ply arranged such that an inner layer of the first ply is adjacent to an inner layer of the second ply and the inner layer of the first ply is attached to the inner layer of the second ply.
