Blunt
A blunt uses tobacco or hemp wraps filled with dry herb. The thicker wrap creates a slow, even burn, and the flavor comes from both your material and the wrap's natural characteristics.
Key features:
- Tobacco or hemp wraps provide slow, steady burn
- Larger format accommodates more material for extended sessions
- Wrap characteristics add dimension to the flavor profile
- Format works well for group sessions
- Available in pre-rolled wraps for convenience
The wrap defines the experience. Traditional tobacco wraps bring earthy, sometimes sweet notes that complement your botanicals. Hemp wraps offer similar burn characteristics without tobacco or nicotine. Either way, the thicker material burns more slowly than papers, extending session duration.
Rolling technique affects the burn and overall experience. The wrap needs proper moisture — the right balance keeps it pliable and ensures it seals cleanly. Even material distribution creates an even burn; uneven packing can cause one side to burn faster and make the blunt run. Many people work with pre-formed wraps or use pre-rolled cones for consistent results.
Blunts accommodate more material than papers — typically one to several grams, depending on your roll. This makes them well-suited for social settings. You can also blend different botanical varieties or incorporate concentrates for enhanced potency and varied effects.
What you need for blunts: Start with a grinder to break down your flower evenly — consistent texture supports even burning. You can choose pre-rolled blunt wraps or cones for straightforward preparation, or work with loose wraps if you prefer traditional rolling. Some people add a filter tip (also called a crutch) at the mouthpiece end for easier handling. A rolling tray keeps everything organized during preparation. To enhance your blend, you can add kief or concentrates before rolling.
