To my blunt smokers out there...

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?
Yes it does have a bit of a bite and lets say call for an acquired taste. we try to let them cure for awhile. thank you for the great idea's will try. and you do get a hint of a nutty flavor.

Thanks for the info. It sounds like a French-Vanilla Coffee will make a good casing. I'm just not sure how to apply the chocolate. Maybe cocoa suspended in rum? :-?

Ive never seen the summer twists, had to look it up. lemon and mango sounds really good. I was looking for a lemon flavor blunt to go with the lemon kush but couldnt find any.

I love summer twist so much man! Grape is the OG flavor, diamonds are best for DANK bud, and arctic ice would be my second choice, but the flavor of summer twist is something else. I bought whole boxes of them when I thought they were gonna stop being sold after summer. Checked the local Mobil and liquor store when I ran out and both had them. They weren't everywhere, but I could still get my hands on a pack year round.

As for dutches I tried one about a month ago and it was fire! I unraveled the top leaf and then split it like a Swisher. It was more delicate and I left a couple rips from splitting it too hard, but it sealed together just fine and I simply rewrapped the unraveled leaf to try and patch the small holes. I sparked it, hit it, and burned that shit down to the end with my homie on the way to the casino. Had to hold my fingers over the holes when the top wrap wouldnt stick. Smoked totally fine regardless. DEFINITELY enjoyed it and will roll one again for sure! The burn wasn't as slow as a backwood, but it tasted more like an actual cigar... with bud in it of course!

Other than that I've also rolled a Splitarillos extendo for the first time since making this post too and it was awesome!! Filled it with a Lil more than 2 Gs and it was perfect for a 4-man rotation.

I definitely enjoy papers too, but I swear that I will always be a blunt smoker. The smoke and feel is second to none for me. Conserving my bud and packing bowls is probably the best way to go, and sometimes I'm really tryna smoke a joint, but most of the time I prefer to roll up the blunt if I got the bud for one

Way way back i used to throw $5 in on a half track of some generic Florida crippy hydro everyday with 3 of my boys and roll a green leaf optimo. It was the longest smoothest hitting. Yet another great Swisher product. It's too bad it looks like they stopped making them.

Well, I finally got to try my Vanilla-Coffee-Rum-Honey cased Burley in a blunt.
YUP! It's a winner. I definitely like Burley wraps over Virginia wraps. It's actually a lighter smoke than Virginia, which makes sense, in retrospect. I expected a stronger "punch" from the Burley flavour, but it surprisingly did not interfere with the herb at all. I gave it a three-week cure @~60% RH (post-toasting) and it still left a sticky residue from the honey and sugars, but was not sticky, itself.

I think my next leaf will be better, though, since the first one was a bit damaged from Potassium deficiency. It wasn't as optimum as it could have been. But WTF, I'm still learning. ;)

Dutch Masters Palma are the best I don't do cigarillos full size only but can't find them too often so usually Garcia Vegas bout just as good as a Dutch. I hate all them flavored wraps and cigars smoke good weed not schwag and no need for flavored shit.

I imagine all those use Cuban wraps?

I smoked swishers when I didn't know any better. White oels are better in the cheap processed wrap department. Although in all honesty I don't like smoking cardboard at all

A couple years ago I made the switch to backwoods and will never go back. That's all I smoke now. They're easy to roll after you learn from a couple packs. Remember you don't split them! Just lick where the leaf ends and unroll! Then you have the choice to put anywhere from a gram to 4. Versatility is always better in every situation!

Optimo is my go to 9/10 times. Its basically a swisher re-blend and rebrand. Peach gets pretty much all the work done. Also in honey, (regular) sweet, black, mint, and good ol' grape. (don't remember if they make a strawberry) very pliable, strong and overall decent quality control. It seems like it can stretch more than a peach swisher, kind of ends up fatter than it begins. Then I grab a black&mild for the wood tip. I like to create flavor profiles that feature purple, but not so it overpowers something like a nice jack or even the high notes of diesel or bubba. Bring in just enough kief so the sweet hash bodyy builds and with the flower blend. I try to bring purple or OG in and blend it submissively to both fruity and hashy components. I like a Light coating of oil spread thin on or several small " shards" in the back 1/2 so It gets vaporize, melts, and seeps back from the cherry. Key is a choice pairing of flowers and just enough hash to lend its self to an expert roll to allow just enough airflow for optimum cherry temperature, burn, and flavor.

I feel like we need a blunt connoisseurs thread

A little off topic but not really. I've saved some of the fan leaves from my current Purple Kush grow and plan on rolling a Cannigar after harvest. I'm curious to see if this will be my new favorite "blunt"

This is just Americans way of mixing weed and tobacco. Take that shit to socialist Europe. Bong rips of pure for men.

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 $1 before, but I was sketched out by their potential quality!
I love the 5 4 3 show cigarellos o.g kush flavor 5 cigarellos for 1$ and they are my fav. Over every other brand.. the dude I get Reggie from wen I can't afford the good stuff got me on thos
Has anyone else seen these 8.5" long blunts?
