Blunts - To Filter or Not to Filter - That is the question

none of my friend use roaches, but i do when i roll because i find theres always some asshole whos slobs all over the end of the blunt, making it impossible to pull on it with out almost making yourself passout. just makes it easier imo

I never use a roach on blunts, but I do fold the paper over to double it up before I roll it. Check out Bluntology 101 in my signature for pics. If you double the paper up at the tip it helps keep it from being a salad shooter and also stiffens it up so it always stays open. :rasta:

A properly rolled blunt should require no filter. A trick for the novice is to buy a cheap cigar cutter from a tobacco shop for a couple bucks. Cuts nice, flat ends that hit well.

jus wanted to thank everyone for they responses. More responses / opinions are still extremely welcomed, but I just wanted to take this oppertunity to thank all those who responded to my question. All of your advice was well taken. As for now i like rolling with a roach/filter (jus a piece of cardboard not a real filter like some of u guys took it as), but I continue to explore and stay inventive with my rolling so maybe my preference will evolve. Peace and Love :rasta: :thumbsup:

A roach [Piece of rolled up card] imporves a joint 100 fold. The hit is bigger, smoother and you dont waste any weed.

Although, as for blunts, i dont put one in.

But if were going to talk about this subject, can we all call it a roach, and not a filter, as a filter is found on a cig, and a roach doesnt filter anything :D

When you're running low on weed Cigarillos will become your friend :p. But anyways no, I dont use a filter. I really dont see the point of using one.

i never use a filter, they always fuck up the taste for me. and i cant smoke a filter when it gets all resinated.

it's just the truth. filters fuck with the taste, and end up wasting a small amount of thc. I just use a solid little chunk of bud at the end, and smoke it right, so im left with a little highly resinated mininugget.

I'm still debating if I wanna roll my first blunt, which is going to be tomorrow night ;) with a Roach or not
