You can answer the question for all of us... a beautifully rolled blunt or joint, doesn't guarantee a perfect smoke. Sometimes the loosest or most curved/twisted joint can get the job done like a Terminator... well maybe not the loosest (that is inexcusable). So... basically... you tell us. How did it smoke? Wasn't it better knowing that your fingers created that? Sounds philosophical, but I feel that meals that I cook for myself taste better than the same cooked by someone else. It's all about total satisfaction. You create... you enjoy! As for the "tip" tip... I don't really mess with those. If you have a pinhole mouthpiece and it clogs up when you smoke, you need to fix your technique. I'll sacrifice a piece of bud in my mouth, for an age old rolling style with no extra fancy filter tips or what have you, but I don't knock anyone for doing it!!! That's the beauty of the culture... millions of people... millions of styles/slang/rituals, that join us together by acknowledging our differences. That's why, to me, it doesn't matter if someone hates on my rolling style... that just means they aren't getting in on this MAAAAAAAAAN! Haha. :jointsmile:
