diffrent methods for diffrent occassions.....unless you just have to have that much or for some reason want a blunt it's kind of wasteful to smoke a blunts worth when a bowl's worth will do you...but on that same statement it becomes wasteful to pass a bowl around 5 or 6 people if they are going to put a lighter to it everytime. lighting=burning faster i just stick to a bowl to myself or a couple of people, and blunts/joints for 4 or more total....
