Alright I may just be a dumb american but all this interests me. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this is just what I have gathered.

A bifta, spliff, and joint are all kind of the same thing. Just different styles of rolling them and different preferences as to what goes in it.

I remember someone rolled what I thought was a nice joint on one of these forums and people from the UK and other countries other than the USA we're dogging on his style. I thought it was a nice joint that I would easily recognize and call a good joint.

I like the cone idea. I've never tried rolling it like that but I will sometimes. I also never use any kind of a roach. I always just take the ressiny bud from the roach out of the paper and mix it with some new herb or if it was a big roach, I smoke all of it by itself in a bowl.

I just say it's different strokes for different folks and as long as it burns even and slow, it's a good one in my book
