How to Roll?

i roll my blunts a little differently. i usually roll with dutches and i dont crack it down the middle, i lick it really well and then find where the outer leaf ends on the rounded part of the blunt. then i very carefully unroll the outer leaf and im just left with the inner paper. then i take off the cancer paper (the peice of paper around the rounded tip), split it down the glue line and empty the guts out. then i rip the glue strip off and put the weed in, broken up pretty well but not too much, and roll the inner paper around it like a joint. when that is rolled i lay out the outer leaf on a flat surface and roll it around the inner paper. ive been told that this is the wrong way to roll a blunt but i feel that you have more control over how it pulls when you roll it this way. its a little more complicated but once you learn how to do it its actually pretty easy. i can usually roll a nice blunt like this between 2 and 3 minutes.

break up bud, better in a grinder put it on the paper grab blunt with both hands pinch it between ur middle and thumb, line up the top edges roll back and forth to fill it evenly if its falling out push a lil bud back tward the center with pointer finger roll it down so that the part that is away from u that ur licking is more higher but be carful to have the bottom top fully cratiling bud and justs kinda tuck it dow under the top peace press a lil along the tuck to press the fluffy ness down so itll be tight but not too tight! lick the top and fold it over. thats my technique and i roll skill full over packed blunts all the time:D

for zig zags i make sure my fingers are a bit moist, that way they grip the paper when i have to tuck and roll.

Naw man that O is way too big, I'd say o or maybe even ., but o is great

ive been rollin swishers and phillies for only god knows ow long, but i saw dutch masters in the store a few weeks ago, and i gotr everyone hooked. they burn slow but the problem ive seen is, they tend to run alot. but they smoke alot slower for some reason

I always use blunt wraps. They're alot easier for me to roll for some reason...plus they taste REALLY AWESOME! Really enhances the smoking session for me...I just roll it up like i would a fat joint. Always works out for me! haha

I despise blunt wraps, Royals always either came dry and cracked or soggy as hell and easily teared. Even if you got a decent one they might be easier to roll but burn too fast and always tasted like shit to me no matter the 'flavor'. It is possible this is because I am not a cigarette smoker and I'd bet anything the wraps are made from the shittiest parts of the plant.
Dutches, especially honey, I find to taste sweet and indisputably burn smoother and longer when rolled to perfection. My only complaint is that sometimes when you get the outer leaf off there are multiple horizontal fractures or devastating circumferential fractures on the inner wrap, cigars inevitably age and dry out. Experienced rollers can work around these obstacles and utilization of the outer leaf can still yeild a perfect, enduring blunt.
When it comes to what is being rolled with what it's all down to personal preference. Meticulous as it is I wont roll with anything but a Dutch Masters or similar type cigar. Considering the amount of precious cannabis I'll be using in my blunts I want it to last and in my experience wraps just don't cut it.
The only way to perfect your rolling skills is practice, watching others roll may give you a general idea but everyone has a different style.

I use Blunt Wrap brand blunt wraps ... I find them a thousand times easier to roll than a joint, and ten times more efficient. Burns the weed slow and even until it's white and then moves up. Each one lasts hours or minutes, depending on how you're hitting it. I just love them.

Nope, I break my buds down to the O that I sized up in my post, I'm getting two Swishers tommorow and hopefully a quarter, I'll post pics of weed and cigarillo unbroken, split cigar, broken down weed, then the final product and show you how we do :D.

I only break my weed down to a lower case o like the one you showed when I'm rolling a zigzag.
