I'm gonna roll my first blunt (a Swisher Sweet cigarillo, strawberry flavor) in a few days... any advice for an "amateur"?
never rolled anything in my life, not even a joint.
I've heard the basics (lick it, cut it, gut it, fill it, roll it, seal it). any specific tips?
good luck
if it's your first expect it to be somewhat thin. It's hard to roll a thick blunt first time around. other than that, just cut straight as possible, and be careful not to tear the end if you pack the weed in tighter when you finish the roll.
I advise you to buy 2, mayby 3.
But for starters roll a joint. Or practice somthing. Its like either you do it correctly the first time or you fuck up bad. The splitting, the dumping of tabaccy and the putting the weed in the wrap is easy. Its the twisting the first half thats tricky.
Always roll over a piece of paper or somthing. Weed always falls out the sides. Then afterward you can take the fallin weed and stuff it in the ends. Always have a paper clip or keys ready to pack that shit down.
Go search google how to roll joints/blunts using Dollar bills. You can make real nice shit usin that. But tends to be real tight. Just practice.
Oh, and if you slobber all over it. Use a lighter to try and dry it off. KNowone wants to make out with you. Especially if your already hittin the blunt.
Oh yeah, that reminds me, the end can get really soggy with saliva, so be careful not to get spit on it. lighter will dry it out. When you use a lighter (either drying the end or sealing it) touch the flame to the wrap but keep it moving quickly so you dont accidently burn a hole. holes can be patched with a small piece of wrap ripped off the mouth hole end of the wrap, wetting it really good, and slappin it on.Quote:

If it's rolled tight like it should be, you want a bit of ash on the end at all times (half an inch). Much like the ash that has to be present on a cigar, this makes it burn cooler so it doesnt kil your throat.
will dollar bills help with rolling a blunt shell? mind, I'm not using a flat rolling paper, but have to be delicate with cigarillo wrap...
Make sure its fresh. The best way to tell is to squeeze it the softer, the better.
Best advice ever: PRACTICE :jointsmile:
pratice...
is it me or does swishers leave a nasty after taste?
Get grape swishers next time.
Anyway like everyone said practice makes perfect. Check out some of the rolling guides on the internet and try it out.
lol funny you said that... I asked my dealer for some papers or a cigar or something to smoke with (so as not to have to deal with those goddamn soda cans), and his friend was bout to hand me a Swisher Sweet when he told him not to hand me the grape one.. everyone's favorite, apparently
