The Complete Blunt Guide - How To Roll A Blunt

I want to just start out by saying that I love blunts. This is one of my favorite topics to write about and I could probably write 10 pages about blunts. I’ll try to keep it short and sweet here and have you blazing a blunt asap.

There are many methods and materials you can use to roll a blunt. Some blunts are wide, some blunts are skinny. Some blunts taper down towards the tip to a more cone-like shape, and some blunts stay wide until the end and use a more supportive filter or roach in the tip. Blunt rolling is essential to any stoner’s arsenal of smoking techniques and being able to roll a good blunt will impress friends and strangers alike. Below I will go over the supplies and methods necessary to create a perfect blunt.

Blunt Wraps
Have trouble choosing the right blunt wrap to roll that perfect fatty? The right wrap is crucial to rolling an impressive blunt. Below are my five favorite blunt wraps:

1. Game Blunt – Game blunts are a newer edition to the blunt rolling world, but also my current favorite for rolling blunts. The wraps are large and stay moist easily, and they stick well when rolled.

2. Dutch Master – An undisputed classic in the blunt rolling world, rolling with dutch masters is always a treat. The warm smell of a honey dutch blunt, or the flavor of a vanilla dutch are enjoyed by many stoners every day around the world. The wraps are the perfect size, stay moist and roll easily.
3. Garcia Vega Green Leaf – The Garcia Vega is the blunt you want if you’re going for a big blunt. They are about an inch longer than regular blunts, and also come with a slow burning green leaf that does not crack easily. They are a bit harder to roll than the previous two blunts, but are well worth it once you have the skill
4. White Owl – White Owl’s are similar to dutch masters as they come in flavors, and they are also available almost anywhere as a single cigar with its own tube. They roll a really nice blunt, but I just find them to be a less popular blunt wrap than the dutch master. However, they are a great alternative if in need.
5. Swisher Sweets – Swisher Sweets are a pretty mainstream blunt wrap however I strongly dislike buying them because there are too many Swisher Sweet products on the shelf. For blunt rolling, you want a blunt wrap without a filter tip or anything but a plain tobacco end so that you can use the entire length of the blunt wrap. The regular swisher sweets are fine, but a lot of times there is a filter tip or tapered down ending that you cannot see from outside the box when purchasing them. They are great for rolling blunts, just make sure you have the regular swisher sweet cigars.

Blunt Rolling
With a blunt wrap in hand, it is time to get to the fun part…rolling. There are two mainstream methods that are used for rolling a blunt. One involves cutting the blunt with the leaf still on it, and the other involves taking the leaf off before cutting the inner blunt wrap. For both methods you will need a wrap and a knife. I will go through each method:

Method #1:
For this method you will also want to get an index car or business card that can be used to make a roach later.
1. Determine how much weed you will use for the blunt and grind it all up.
2. Thoroughly moisten the blunt with your tongue. This is to stop the blunt wrap from cracking when you cut it and empty the innards.
3. Take a knife and slice the blunt open lengthwise in as strait a line as possible. If the blunt is not moist enough, you will notice it cracking around where you are cutting.

4. Dump the contents of the blunt (tobacco) out so that you are left with a blunt shell. The rounded end of the blunt can be torn off now, as it contains what I call “cancer paper” between the leaf and the inner blunt wrap (this paper is used to stiffen the rounded end where a cigar would be hit from).

5. Breathe on the inside of the blunt wrap to moisten it. You have to be very careful handling the blunt wrap once the contents have been dumped out, as it is very brittle. As you breathe on the wrap, you should notice it starting to get moist and soften up. Once is has softened a little bit, you can lick the wrap until it is full moistened and pinch any edges with your lips if the leaf is separating from the paper.

6. Once the wrap is flexible and in one piece you now can spread the weed evenly in a line across the blunt. Start to mold the paper around it, pinching your fingers along the blunt to give it a shape. Tuck the shorter side of the blunt all the way around the weed once the shape has been molded.

7. Lick the last ½ inch of paper (or what ever you have left) and slowly begin to press down the rest of the paper, molding it into a perfect blunt!

8. Take a poking utility and pack down both ends to make sure the weed is spaced evenly, add extra weed if a lot packs down. Pack down with some force but not so hard that you rip the blunt. Leave a ½ inch for a filter tip on the smaller end.
9. A roach or filter tip is recommended for this strategy. Cut a piece of card about ½ inch wide and 2 inches long and roll it into a cylinder. Then slide it into the smaller opening and let it expand to fit the blunt. Proceed to press the filter in until it is firmly in its position.

Method 2 (tread method 1 first):
Method two is similar to Method 1 with a couple of distinct differences.
1. First instead of cutting the blunt you want to get it as wet as possible and then peal the leaf off of the inner cigar wrap by finding a corner of the leaf on the tip that you can peal. Once you find the starting point of the leaf the whole wrap will unravel.
2. You can then cut the blunt wrap and moisten the inner wrap like you would in the previous method
3. You roll the inner wrap the same, however you have to be careful not to rip it. Many people prefer a cone shape with this method, which produces a slower burning, easier to rip blunt, however you can’t take as large rips with this kind of blunt.
4. Once the inner wrap is rolled, moisten the leaf and the outside of the blunt and re-roll the leaf around the wrap as tight as possible, covering up any cracks there may be.
5. A filter tip is optional if you rolled the blunt as a cone.
