Blunt
A blunt is a cannabis smoking method where ground flower is rolled inside a tobacco-based wrap or cigar shell. It is smoked like a cigar rather than through a pipe or device.

What a Blunt Is and How It’s Made
A blunt is a type of cannabis cigarette made by rolling cannabis flower into a tobacco-derived wrap, commonly created by hollowing out a cigar or using a pre-made blunt wrap. Unlike joints, which use rolling paper, blunts use thicker wraps that contain tobacco or tobacco leaf.
How Tobacco Wraps Affect the Smoke
The tobacco wrap affects both flavor and smoking characteristics. Blunts tend to burn more slowly than joints and produce denser smoke, while also introducing nicotine into the experience. Because of this, blunts are often associated with stronger flavor profiles and a heavier smoke.
Blunt Size and Social Use
Blunts are typically larger than joints and are commonly shared in social settings. Their size allows for more cannabis to be packed inside, resulting in longer smoking sessions. The combination of cannabis and tobacco also distinguishes blunts culturally and functionally from other smoking methods.
Blunts as a Cannabis Consumption Method
As a cannabis consumption method, blunts are valued for their slow burn and durability, though the presence of tobacco may not appeal to all users. Choice of wrap, grind consistency, and rolling technique all influence the final smoking experience.
