To my blunt smokers out there...

[CA_Renegade]

I've got 2 questions... 1. what brand or type of cigarillos do you prefer to roll your bud in? Swishers, Phillies, White Owls, Backwoods, Dutch Masters, Zig Zag Wraps, etc.? I personally love Summer Twist Swishers above all, but idk if they even have them around this summer anymore. Really hope those didn't get axed, but my 2nd choice would have to be Grape Swishers. Classic choice right? What do y'all roll with?

2. To Dutch Masters fans: How are blunts rolled with these wraps? These are pretty much the only cigarillos I haven't tried before. Is it really worth it to shell out $5.95 for 3 cigarillos when you can get at least 2 for 99¢ from pretty much every brand? Hell, I've even seen 5 cigarillos for $1 before, but I was sketched out by their potential quality!

I'll be one to reply but this sorta thing is a preference deal best used by a poll count. Honest I like swishers but I can't seem to roll them right now. I used to be ok on just Platinum Wraps but they fall apart real easily. I've had serious trouble trying to re wrap Backwoods, there is not much of a sticky substrate to use unless some hash is to be rolled in with it to make it stick.

I prefer dutchmasters, or anything that is real leaf vs processed paper.

Backwoods are like true leaf wraps but they give me so much trouble rolling it's not worth it. (Theyre my favorite for just puffing on w/o gutting tho.)

I've really cut blunts out almost completely tho I get a great big nicotine buzz now that I don't smoke them regularly. Not comfortable to me lately.

I love honey dutchmasters but I can never find them so I've been rolling the chocolate cigarillos that come in the foil. I have smoked plenty of other blunts but dutches always taste the best and hit the smoothest to me. The basic machine rolled cigar such as a swisher or white owl taste terrible to me anymore. It seems as if I'm rolling up with cardboard.

If you buy the three packs you can take the leaf off and roll it like a dutch should be rolled. If it is a single, you'll most likely have to crack it down the center like a swisher.
5.95 for a three pack! I pay like 2.50-3 for them from pretty much any gas station. 5.95 is how much a 5 pack of the cigars not rillos cost

 

[Big Trees]

Correction, I just paid 2.23 for a 3 pack

I'm a big fan of blunts. Absolute best method of smoking if there are more than 2 heads in the circle.

My top 3, in no particular order (whichever is available & not stale af)

Garcia vega (the regular 3pk, they practically roll themselves)

Honey dutch master (Sometimes i like to rub a little honey on the outside, makes it burn so slow)

Natural goodie (some of my friends are better at rolling these than I am, too thin & fragile for me, but they usually come out quite well)

As you can tell these are all leaf gars, I'm not a fan of synthetic wraps.

 

[Smokenpassout]

I still love my blunts, even though I have a great vaporizor. My blunt of choice is Backwoods Sweet Aromatic. Although some say they are a little harsh. I love the taste of a natural tobbacco leaf and my herb of choice. The Backwood gives me just the right amount of throat hit on the backend of the bud I smoke.

Summer twist
Sticky sweets
Island madness

Cinnamon can be interesting along with others dif times of year or mood, pumpkin

Anything Swisher. I second the summer series. Good flavors. From the town that produces them i have to rep. I drive by the factory just about every day. For a long time blunt smoker it's like driving past Willy Wonka's. I've always seen it and know it exists, but have never known anyone that worked there and have never heard of anyone going inside. Maybe one day a tour?

904 also. I like the island madness. Watermelon and rum is great combo

 

[qwizoking]

2 swishers for a $1
Between 3-5 for a $1 in brands like jackpot.

Only difference is how they are made. Cheaper rillos will have a seam that can become an issue when rolling . Smoke is the same

I guess I should try casing some of my leaf with honey-water, eh?
What is better for blunt rolling...Virginia, Burley, or...?

 

[Gjames0531]

Every time I've used honey or maple syrup my blunts have a burnt sugar/marshmallow taste. I've tried many many times too thinking it'll be different. Maybe it's just me though.

I guess one of the good things about living on the southern part of the east coast is there are a lot of tobacco farmers around here, we usually crop a hand full or two, soak and clean them, hang them to dry, cut to size and vacuum seal them. haven't brought a blunt in about two years now.

What kind of tobacco are you pilfering? Do you case the tobacco, at all?

Burley tobacco. And my friends family owns the farm so they let me get as much as we want.

Raws only

Really? Do you seriously only air-dry it then bag it? I've grown and cured Virginia, and that can be smoked after a couple weeks of cure (but it still has a bit of tongue-bite that early, which I just found can be helped with an orange-pop casing to balance the sugars); however, I was under the impression Burley definitely needed a case because it will be too sharp on the tongue ( due to being a higher pH plant). Based on what I've read, I'm thinking of applying a Chocolate & Vanilla-Coffee casing to the Burley I'm growing. Do you notice any chocolate overtones in your wrappers?
