🔥 What You Need to Roll a Blunt

Before you start, make sure you have everything ready:

1️⃣ Blunt Wrap or Cigarillo

• You can use a Dutch Master, Backwood, Swisher Sweet, Game Leaf, or any blunt wrap.
• For easier rolling, try a pre-cut blunt wrap instead of cracking open a cigar.

2️⃣ High-Quality Flower

• Use about 1 to 1.5 grams of well-ground flower.
• Make sure it’s not too fine (prevents clogs) or too chunky (prevents even burning).

3️⃣ Grinder (Optional but Recommended)

• Grinding ensures an even burn and a smooth pull.
• If you don’t have a grinder, break it up by hand, removing stems and seeds.

4️⃣ Lighter

• You’ll need this to seal the blunt and light it up.

5️⃣ Razor Blade or Fingertips (If Using a Cigarillo)

• Used to split the cigar lengthwise and remove the tobacco inside.

🌀 How to Roll a Blunt (Step-by-Step Guide)

🔪 Step 1: Split & Empty the Cigar

• If you’re using a cigarillo (like a Swisher or Dutch Master), you’ll need to cut or split it open.
• Use a razor blade, a knife, or your fingers to gently split it lengthwise.
• Carefully dump out the tobacco (guts) without tearing the wrap.

💦 Step 2: Moisten the Wrap

• Lightly lick or dampen the blunt wrap to make it more flexible.
• This helps prevent cracks and makes rolling easier.
• If the wrap is too dry, breathe on it or use a tiny bit of warm water.

🌿 Step 3: Fill It With Flower

• Spread your ground herb evenly inside the wrap.
• Don’t overstuff it—this makes it hard to roll and seal.
• Use 1-1.5 grams for a standard blunt, but you can adjust as needed.

🌀 Step 4: Shape & Roll the Blunt

• Use your thumbs and index fingers to shape the blunt into a cylinder.
• Start rolling the bottom edge over the flower, tucking it under the top edge.
• Tuck and roll tightly but not too tight—airflow is important!

💨 Step 5: Seal the Blunt

• Once it’s rolled, lick the inside edge of the wrap and press it down gently to seal.
• If the wrap is stubborn, use a tiny bit of honey or sugar water as "blunt glue."

🔥 Step 6: Dry & Light It Up

• Run a lighter quickly along the seam (don’t burn it!) to dry and harden the seal.
• Light the tip, take slow pulls, and enjoy a smooth, even burn.

🚀 Pro Tips for Rolling the Perfect Blunt

✅ Use Fresh Wraps – Old wraps crack easily. Store extras in a sealed bag.
✅ Grind Evenly – Helps prevent canoeing (uneven burning).
✅ Don’t Overstuff – Too much flower makes it hard to roll and pull.
✅ Tuck & Roll Tight – But not too tight! Airflow matters.
✅ Let It Dry – A quick pass with a lighter helps seal the blunt properly.
