5 Tips to Roll Great Blunts

Blunts have made their way into the hearts (and lungs) of cannabis lovers everywhere. They’re known for packing a serious punch, thanks to the bold flavor and slow burn of the cigar wrapper.

And while rolling a good blunt takes some finesse, with practice (and maybe a bit of spit) you’ll be rolling beauties in no time. But what does it take to make a blunt that smokes like a dream and looks good doing it? Here’s the ultimate guide.

Best Practices for Rolling Blunts That Make People Say, “Whoa!”

1. Get a Good Grinder (No, Really)
   
   Want that blunt to burn slow and steady? Then don’t skimp on a quality grinder. Using a top-notch grinder ensures your cannabis is finely, evenly ground, giving you a smoother roll and smoke. Plus, there’s something oddly satisfying about cranking out that perfect grind. Aim for a multi-layer grinder if you’re feeling fancy—it catches the kief and makes you feel like a pro.
   
   
2. Pack It Right, but Don’t Overstuff
   
   When it comes to filling your blunt, it’s all about balance. You want enough cannabis in there for a good smoke, but don’t pack it so tight you’re left gasping for air with every hit. Use your fingers (or a pen, if you’re feeling extra) to pack the flower just right. Remember: too much or too little, and it’s a blunt that’ll burn weirdly.
   
   
3. Moisten the Wrapper, But Don’t Dunk It
   
   Nobody wants a blunt that cracks mid-roll! Gently moisten the wrapper with your tongue or a dab of water to make it nice and flexible. Just don’t get too enthusiastic—drenching the paper can make it a sticky mess. Aim for “lightly misted,” not “accidentally fell in the sink.”
   
   
4. Avoid the ‘Brick Roll’
   
   Rolling your blunt too tight is a rookie mistake. It might look pretty, but you’ll be puffing like a steam engine just to get a hit. So keep things snug but not suffocating. Use your fingers to gently shape the blunt into a cylinder—trust us, your lungs will thank you.
   
   
5. Seal It with a Kiss (or a Little Water)
   
   This is the grand finale! Tuck those edges under, give the end a light lick or a dab of water, and press it closed. Make sure the seal is tight so you don’t end up with a blunt that burns like a campfire gone wrong. A proper seal = an even burn, every time.
