I've probably done every one of those things on that list...but then I just started leaving them pretty big and rolling them into another joint.

My grandmother used to put little cardboard "filters" on the ends, but she would roll them toothpick thin, too. I never really liked doing that until I went to Amsterdam. Now I do it more often. Sometimes its too much work.

Luckily I brought several packages of the pre-made ones back from Dam. It sure does reduce the amount you have to get your fingers dirty and smelly(bonus for us professionals).
