I always smoked joints. however when I went to the USA I found everyone smoking blunts (where you gut a cigar and put the weed in the paper). As everyone proberbly knows it burns slower. Now I think joints are shit and waste your weed!

However now im in the UK I cant find any cheap cigars becuase everyone smokes joints here!!! Does anyone know where i can buy cheap cigars in the UK or any tricks to make my joint smoke slower.

Also, are there any good reasons why anyone prefers joints to blunts becuase I just cant see why!

u can buy blunt wraps online, sites like everyonedoesit.com and a few others i think. or just do a search for them. one brand that is good and isnt an actual cigar is royal blunt wraps. it is only the paper with no tobacco or anything in it so u can do it all urself with no mess. and they come individually sealed

if you roll your j in 2 papers , it will burn slower, but if you dont have a lot of weed in the jay, then you'll be smoking mostly paper.
my 2 cents

ive always thought about how much bud you have. if ive had less than a gram like half a gram then you can roll a jay because its like having a cigarette. a single serving ya know? i never get high after a joint to my head...i get a nice little buz but nothing more. a blunt on the other hand will get me lifted but thats because they also have a lot more bud in it. why does it seem like blunts are very USA? it seems like no other countries do it but i could be very wrong i dont know...

oh and by the way, if your looking for blunt wraps try online or if you are really good just practice gutting swishers and doing it that way. i perfer the wraps because i dont even like the smell of tobacco being there so i like em, but my old dealer used to hand grind and hand roll about a gram of bud and roll it all up up and it would hit like a champ....so i dont know. either way good times!

Yeah I like to double roll my joints so they burn slower.

I am Canadian and I smoke blunts. So not just US

Buy the papers, like everyone said. Same thing, but you determine the size, length, etc...and I actually find it easier than performing intricate surgery to a cigar....

I don't have any wraps right now, so if this guy EVER shows up tonight I am going to try rolling in two papers...thanks!

its easy to gut, just have a sharp knife and lick the outside so as to moisten the blunt. then take the knife and make a cut running the length of the blunt. it should now be split open and able to have the tobacco removed. it gets easier with practice.

Ive been rolling jays lately so im gonna go with those for a while.

and my rule for jays is use as little paper as possibly and as much green as you can.

cause if you can roll right you shouldnt have to double wrap.

Blunts give me crazy headaches. All you guys turning your noses up at Js can feel free to send them my way, particulary as I've never been able to roll them myself. *hangs head in shame*

If you want your joint to burn slower roll it properly. Not many people can.

I can get one king size skin to burn for 30 mins at least. And cigars dont use paper, its a tobacco leaf.

Tobacco...yuck. I'm all about the purest smoke possible (you should buy as many tobacco products as possible cause I own altria stock, took a little hit recently). Not to say I would turn down a blunt.:smokin:

blunts are good to burn when you have a lot of time to do nothin.

joints are good to burn when you want a nice clean bake quick.

I have a friend who rolls so well we swear she uses a machine...but we have watched her and she does it by hand. She doesn't sell, but she buys a pound every couple of months - and she spreads the wealth. Every concert we hook up at, she has half a pack of smokes that are all thick and beautifully rolled jays...and they last a good long time

same here, i think that even in the uk which is supposed to be the home of the joint or some bollocks the art of rolling a j is dying :( i cant stand double rolling a joint, makes the smoke harsh.

but when i do occasionally have a blunt royal blunt wraps are the shit

Lol it sucks you cant find blunts like Swisher Sweets just anywhere in the U.K. but yeah, I rolled a little joint earlier yesterday and I've been smokin blunts for so long I forgot how fast joints burn lol. Just for the fact that blunts burn slower and imo saves weed I think I might just stick with them forever or use a pipe or somethin.

i'm a blunt man but in the uk joints are the norm, i tend to smoke joint in the day and roll myself a nice fat blunt if i'm gonna be sitting down with some people for a nice while. i think the reason blunts are less popular in the uk is you can only really get wraps it's hard to get cigars for gutting that don't cost more than the ganj you put in.

Well blunts take more weed then joints but if i have to choose one or the other i'd prefer to smoke a blunt. I'm a lot more conservative I guess because I only smoke bubblers when i'm by myself.

You want to look for the cheap shitty cigars (in the US some of them are actually called 'blunts' right on the box), the ones where you know the cigar company is expecting you to fill it up with weed. If you go into a cigar store you're gonna get like a real cigar with good tobacco, and those are expensive (and a waste of a good cigar).
The cheaper ones are usually in gas stations and sometimes pharmacies.

I don't know what you've got in the UK but look for brands like Dutch Masters, Phillies, White Owl, Garcia y Vega. They usually cost around US$1 for 1 and $3 or $4 for a box of 5 or 6.

Don't get me wrong, I <3 Blunts, but for some reason they seem too untraditional for me. I like to stick to bowls and bongs for the most part.

No blunts tastes bad to me. I guess if it's something I'm gonna have to like then my tastes are all for it. But as for tomatoes, I still hate them. If they got me high though I'd probably get used to it :stoned:.

I don't like blunts because I think tobacco tastes like cow asshole.
If you want a real slow burning joint, do the two pens method, and really jam it as tight as possible. If I do it that way I can get them to burn so slow that they go out if you don't hit them after like 40 seconds.

the biggest problem with blunts is they fuckin smell. smoke a blunt inside...everything will smell like weed no matter what you do to cover it up.

I have trouble rolling because my hand got fucked up in a car wreck a few months back, so I usually smoke either a blunt or a bong. Mexican brickweed I just take the tobacco out of a cigar (one of the small ones) and replace it with pot, without cutting the outside. The good green I stick with bong hits.

Blunts. They burn slower, and they're better for sharing, which I usually do. No papers in the world can beat a greenleaf garciavega. Plus, blunts burn slow without having to use pens or any obscure shit, and they burn slow without having to hit it so hard your blood rushes to your head.

that'd be nice if I can make the smell to last a little longer ;)
when a few friends take out cigs, Ima always opening the window and turning on the fan.. :(

Personally I like blunts, Wraps mostly, but I'll settle on a White Owl
Also, dont let it go unsaid.. Wraps can be cut in half to make mini-blunts,

Mini-Blunts; the perfect J-alternative to J's.

joints>blunts.
Gangsters and people who get bad weed smoke blunts. people who get really good weed smoke in bowls or occasionally small joints
