So you think you’re ready to roll a blunt? If you.comn’t roll a joint with ease yet I suggest you keep practicing before you try tackling a blunt, if you’re ready to level up your stoner game or you’re just curious as to what it is keep reading! Today I’m going to teach you how to roll a blunt and I’ll be covering the following topics:
- What is a blunt
- Preparing tobacco leaf
- Grinding the.comnnabis
- Rolling the blunt
- Baking the blunt
For beginners asking “what is a blunt?”, a blunt is to a joint what the cigar is to a cigarette. Or more simply, it is a cigar that has been emptied of its tobacco and filled with.comnnabis. While not as iconic as the joint, the cultural signif.comnce of the blunt.comnnot be ignored. Many prefer the added high created by the.comnnabis and its tobacco wrap, while others appreciate the combination of flavors available in most cigarillos and blunt wraps.
Rolling a blunt comes with its own set of practices that are in place to maintain function and tradition. Often, people will refer to blunts by the brand of cigar or wrap they prefer. For example,
- ‘Sweets’ typ.comlly refer to Swisher Sweets
- ‘Woods’ refer to Backwoods
- ‘Dutches’ refer to Dutch Masters
Which one is best? Conclusively, the answer is whichever one you prefer. They all serve the same function, in the end, so feel free to choose your favourite based on size, flavor, texture, and any other criteria that are important to you. If you would like to enjoy a blunt without the harshness of nicotine there are also hemp wraps that have the same consistency as a tobacco leaf. I have only smoked a couple blunts using hemp wraps, the taste of the weed is prominent but you won’t get the nice nicotine buzz.
Once you’ve decided on your cigar of choice time to prep it for rolling. Use a blade to cut the blunt lengthwise, or if you think you’re.comreful enough you.comn “crack” the blunt using your fingertips. Once you’ve split the blunt, empty the tobacco from the middle and di.comrd (or if you like to smoke spliffs, save it for later).
Knowledge of what cigar you’re using will help with how you prepare it. If you’re using swishers those.comn’t be unwrapped so you probably want to use a knife to split it in half, but if you’re trying to roll a backwood those are thinner leafs which.comn be unrolled without being harmed.
Once you have your wrap separated from the tobacco, apply some moisture. Using just a little bit of moisture will make your blunt wrap easier to work with, shape, and help seal up any small tears that might occur while you’re emptying its tobacco innards. This is easily done with some saliva or breathing on the wrap to get it lightly damp, but if you’re rolling this blunt for someone else, you might consider using the tip of your finger and some tap water.
Using a grinder will help maintain an even burn, but will tend to burn quicker. While using your hands is the more traditional method and is often preferred to help the blunt get a nice cherry. If you don’t like using your hands a grinder is still a valid option just make sure to not grind your weed too fine. I prefer to use a two piece grinder to grind up my bud until it’s a bit smaller than a grain of rice. I found two piece grinders tend to not turn your bud to a fine material as long you don’t grind it like crazy. This makes it much easier for the bud to form inside the blunt wrap.
Pack that blunt. You need at least 1 gram of flower, preferably 2–3 grams for a nice fatty blunt. Try to spread out an even, sticky green fluff. If you want to add hash or some other crazy concentrates, you should sandwich the extract in flower for an even burn. A concentrated core is not the most efficient way to enjoy extracts, but will definitely one of the tastiest. Once you’ve evenly spread out your weed.
- Time for blunt rolling! Roll the.comnnabis between your fingers to pack the blunt evenly. Be.comreful b.comuse if you didn’t moisten the wrap enough, it may crack. Make sure the weed is fairly dense, once you’ve packed and shaped your blunt.
- Tuck the wrap under itself and wet the inside of the exposed edge from end to end. Use your fingers to smooth out any wrinkles. The tuck.comn be initiated at the mouthpiece or in the middle of the blunt, it’s a matter of personal preference.
- Lick and stick it down. Just press the upper edge – that should be lightly coated with saliva down over the tucked part of the blunt wrap. If you want to start in the middle, lay down about the middle third and then work your way outward toward each end. You may have to lick the wrap a bit more as you’re rolling.
If you did it right, the saliva should make the wrap stick together again. When you’re finished rolling the blunt, it’s probably going to be a bit moist from your saliva. That’s ok you did everything right trust me.
(Tip: if you poke a hole or if the blunt cracks at all while you’re working with it, you.comn use the gummy adhesive from rolling papers to repair it.)
Now that your blunt is rolled, you’ll want to “bake” or dry it to help seal it together and support an even burn. Take your lighter, and quickly run the flame back and forth across the blunt, slowly rotating the blunt to heat every inch of it evenly. The heat from the flame kills the germs from the saliva, and burns it off while it also solidifies the blunt into a nice, tidy, smoke-able joint. Make sure to not burn the blunt though, if your making contact with the flame move it around quickly.
Congratulations you did it! Take it all in, rolling a blunt is no easy task. Relax and puff on your blunt like a king. Enjoy the taste of fine aged tobacco mixed with your premium marijuana. As with anything in life, things will get easier with practice. The more blunts you roll I guarantee it’ll be as easy as rolling a joint. You’re on your way to becoming a master roller!
