Practice does make perfect when it comes to this method of rolling, so grab yourself a few packs of blunt wraps and get to work!
How to roll with blunt wraps
First, you’ll need to gather all essential items that are required when preparing the perfect blunt. All you will really need is a blunt wrap, grinder, and material of choice to pack into the blunt wrap. Sometimes, smokers prefer to roll a “roach” or filter at one end to avoid inhaling any pieces of bud or potentially closing the end with your spit (it happens). Mainly, you’ll want to make sure you have enough material to pack a blunt wrap so at least 0.5 – 1.0 grams of smoking material will be sufficient. If smoking this blunt wrap with a group, rolling a fat blunt is probably a better idea than a smaller one so keep this in mind when preparing a blunt for multiple smokers.
1. Prepare smoking material
The smoking material of choice will need to be cut into bits with a grinder. This step is absolutely essential to rolling the perfect blunt because the dry herbs must be fine and smooth to avoid any bumps created when rolling it into the blunt wrap. Grinding more than what you intend to smoke is usually the best approach because you can always add more content to the blunt wrap and will make less of a mess when rolling.
2. Wet and bend the blunt wrap
Many blunt wraps will come packaged as dry and stale looking, however with some saliva and lightly wetting the blunt wrap should bring it to life. Using a small amount of water on your finger is another option, however saliva dries up fairly quickly and has a less chance of becoming too wet and separating. Doing this brings back the flexibility in blunt wraps and makes it a lot easier to handle in this next step.
3. Pack contents and roll the blunt wrap
When you have a sturdy grip on the blunt wrap with one hand, use the other hand to transfer the smoking material across the blunt wrap. This is the step where distributing the contents evenly and at the desired thickness is what will make or break a blunt wrap, so pay attention and make sure your blunt wrap is filled with enough of that good stuff to make it worthwhile. If using a roach, place the filter at the end chosen to inhale before starting the rolling process. With both hands, use both thumbs to press down on the blunt wrap side that is close to you – this packs in the smoking material which will help hold its shape. While pressing down on the bottom part of the blunt wrap with both thumbs, lightly lick along the top blunt wrap side that will be rolled towards you to overlap the bottom side. Starting on one end is most helpful, and some prefer to start with the filter side or not. If you are a beginner to rolling with blunt wraps, practice on both ends and see what you prefer.
4. Dry the blunt
Before lighting up the blunt to smoke, you will have to light up the blunt to dry it out. You will not be completely lighting it up, but lighting along the blunt wrap line sealed with saliva will help to dry it out and blend it seamlessly with the rest of the blunt wrap. This will help patch any air holes or imperfections prior to starting a smoke session.
Time to smoke!
Now that you know how to roll perfectly with blunt wraps, you can thank yourself for becoming the head honcho in your friends group and making sure everyone has a great time. Knowing how to roll the perfect blunt is a skill that not many can pull off, but with enough practice it will become something your homies look forward to whenever they pull up to your house for a smoke sesh.
