How to roll with zig zag

Before you roll a joint, make a filter tip by folding a thin strip of an index or business card 3 times, then rolling the strip into circle so it looks like there's a "W" in the middle. Set the filter tip aside for now. Next, pour ground up cannabis onto a rolling paper so it’s in a thin line running along the middle. Place the filter tip at one end of the paper so it's centered, and then roll one edge of the paper over the cannabis and filter. Lick the other edge of the paper and roll it over the rest of the joint. To learn how to roll a blunt, keep reading!

Learn To Roll A Zig Zag Wrap Blunt

Zig Zag has been making smoking papers for a very very long time.  It is no surprise that they joined the blunt game with their Zig Zag wraps.  These wraps to contain tobacco and make a nice large blunt!

Step 1. Break up your herb for your blunt.  We do not feel a grinder is best here, but by hand is best. 
            Tip - Remove any stems as they can poke through the wrap
            Tip - Do not make your herb too fine and make sure your herb is not too dry.

Step 2. Open your wrap.  Moisten the wrap if needed.  We prefer to moisten it some.

Step 3.  Fill your wrap with some herbs.  Let is fall out over a tray, it's ok

Step 4.  Roll the herb in the wrap slowly and carefully.  Using your spit as glue lick the edge of the paper to close it.
             Tip - Use your tongue as another finger.

Step 5.  Smoke your blunt.  We prefer to roll then smoke it right away.  They can dry out fast and can run more easily dry.
             Tip - If you have a run, place some water or spit in front of the run.  You may need to do this a few times.

Learn To Roll A Backwoods Blunt

Backwoods are a new type of blunt in this area.  We heard they were harsh, but you could roll a big blunt with them.  Well, after we tried it we were very impressed, and they were no more harsh than any other blunt, if not in our opinion less harsh than what was our favorite, as Swisher Sweet Perfecto.

Step 1. Break up your herb for your blunt.  We do not feel a grinder is best here, but by hand is best. 
            Tip - Remove any stems as they can poke through the wrap
            Tip - Do not make your herb too fine and make sure your herb is not too dry.

Step 2. Unwrap your Backwoods cigar
            Tip - We find getting git wet and removing access water makes it easier to unroll, roll and is actually less likely to rip.
            Tip - If you find a big stem, press it flat.

Step 3.  Fill your Backwoods tobacco leaf with some herbs.  Let is fall out over a tray, it's ok.  

Step 4.  Roll the herb in the Tobacco leaf slowly and carefully the same way you unwrapped the Backwoods.  Using your spit as glue lick the edge of the paper to close it.
             Tip - Use your tongue as another finger.

Step 5.  Smoke your Backwoods tobacco leaf blunt.  We prefer to roll then smoke it right away.  They can dry out fast and can run more easily if too dry.
             Tip - If you have a run, place some water or spit in front of the run.  You may need to do this a few times.

Learn To Roll A Swisher Sweet Blunt

This was the first brand of blunt I was introduced to, but it was the Perfecto.  It is always nice to come back to a Swisher for nostalgia, but this is just too small of a blunt.  I like to share.  But, if you have only a little herb, this is the perfect cigar to make a blunt.

Step 1. Break up your herb for your blunt.  We do not feel a grinder is best here, but by hand is best. 
            Tip - Remove any stems as they can poke through the wrap
            Tip - Do not make your herb too fine and make sure your herb is not too dry.

Step 2. Split your Swisher Sweet cigar
            Tip - We find getting git wet and removing access water makes it easier to unroll, roll and is actually less likely to rip.
            Tip - Use a knife to split the cigar

Step 3.  Fill your Swisher Sweet with some herbs.  Let it fall out over a tray, it's ok.  

Step 4.  Roll the herb slowly and carefully.  Using your spit as glue lick the edge of the paper to close it.
             Tip - Use your tongue as another finger.

Step 5.  Smoke your Swisher Sweet blunt.  We prefer to roll then smoke it right away.  They can dry out fast and can run more easily if too dry.
             Tip - If you have a run, place some water or spit in front of the run.  You may need to do this a few times.

Learn To Roll A Swisher Sweet Blunt

These taste great, but they are NOT a BLUNT!  A blunt has a tobacco outer wrap, and thsi does not contain any tobacco.  Why did we roll it, because we hear a lot of people say they love hemp blunts, but this not a blunt, but more of a big ass flavored joint.  Now, if you want flavor from the wrap, Juicy Jay's was the best!  Also, you do not get that say burn from the leaf-like you do from a tobacco blunt.
