Blunt is a type of cigarette paper and a word used to describe large joints. A Blunt paper is a natural tobacco leaf layer, which can be aromatized to bring flavors to our weed.
It was the rappers and hip-hop singers from the United States who first used this rolling paper to roll their joints. It was a good way to go unnoticed, since it looked more like a cohiba cigar of the kind produced in Cuba.
⚠️ Blunt definition
The origin of the concept has to do with a company in Philadelphia called Philies Blunt, which became famous for marketing cigarettes rolled in tobacco leaves and with a size above the standard. The fact that some American artists of reference in the 80’s chose this type of paper to mask their weed joint caused its fast popularization among cannabis users.
At that time, some companies saw a good market opportunity and began to manufacture Blunt-style cannabis rolling papers of the same size and material, and new brands began to emerge already focused on supplying pot smokers.
What is Blunt’s meaning?
It means something like “dulling” or filling, and the word basically describes how it is used. Sometimes it comes with the word “Wraps” which means covering or casing, so the meaning of Blunt Wraps would be something like “casing to fill“, which in this case would be cannabis.
Blunt Vs regular smoking paper Joint
The differences between Blunt paper and regular paper are several: taste, consistency, combustion and also toxicity. From our point of view, Blunt paper is not as harmful as rice paper, even though the latter does not contain chlorine. As for the taste, it is quite different from one to the other, you can check that by making a joint of the same weed with each one.
🧐 How to roll a joint with Blunt paper
- We chop the weed with a grinder
- We take out a Blunt paper, normal or flavored
- We open the paper and flatten it a bit to put the weed
- We slowly close as if it were a regular joint, but keep in mind that this paper is more rigid
- Once we have the homogeneous cylindrical shape, we spread saliva on the inside of the top of the paper and close it like any joint
- Press the end with the help of a cigarette or similar
- With the lighter we bring the flame close to the whole external part of the Blunt to dry the excess of humidity that this kind of rolling paper has
