What is a Blunt Wrap?
A blunt wrap is a type of wrapper especially made to hold smoking materials such as cannabis and tobacco. Most blunt wraps you find today are made with tobacco pulp or tobacco leaves. However, there are some options on the market that are tobacco and nicotine free for those who want to avoid added chemicals in their blunts or just want to switch it up every once in a while.
One reason blunt wraps are so popular today is because you’re able to fully customize your experience in ways that you can’t with a pre-rolled joint. You can choose the material that your blunt wrap is made from, you can select a flavor, you can choose your own cannabis, and you can choose whether or not to add tobacco.
What is a Blunt vs Joint?
Blunts and joints are actually quite similar, but there are a few key differences to take into account.
For one, joints are usually rolled with traditional rolling papers made out of plant fibers and blunt wraps tend to be made from tobacco leaves or tobacco pulp. Some people find that they have a preference for blunts because nicotine can give an added buzz that increases the intensity of their high. Be aware that not all blunts have tobacco in them these days because many alternative blunt wraps have hit the market made with other types of leaves to be nicotine and tobacco-free to reduce harm.
The second difference is how long they tend to smoke. Joints tend to smoke faster and blunts are a little bit on the slower side.
A third difference between the two is size. Blunts are usually thicker and longer than joints and as such, tend to hold more cannabis than joints, though depending on the rolling papers used, joints can become just as big as blunts.
Another term you might hear added to the conversation is “spliff.” A spliff doesn’t fit neatly into either category, and can best be described as a combination of a blunt and a joint. A spliff uses rolling papers like a joint, but instead of using pure cannabis on the inside, the inside is a mix of cannabis and tobacco, which gives a similar buzz that you might have with a blunt with the speediness of a joint.
What is the Best Blunt Wrap to Smoke?
It depends on what your personal preferences are. If you prefer tasting your weed more than anything, you might want to find a nice unflavored wrap. If you don’t care about tasting your weed as much as tasting something sweet while you smoke, many brands have flavored wraps to cater to smokers with a sweet tooth out there.
Also, while some people are passionate about smoking with blunt wraps made of tobacco to reach their desired effects, others are less concerned with getting a nicotine buzz and more concerned about choosing better-for-you options on the market such as fruit or hemp blunt wraps.
We know that all of this information can be overwhelming if you’re new to using blunt wraps, so we recommend starting with some of the most popular brands on the market today such as King Palm, Zig Zag, High Society, and Peelz. If you’re not sure what to choose, it doesn’t hurt to check with your smoker friends to see what their preferences are, but remember everyone’s tastes are going to be a little bit different.
In the end, there’s nothing inherently right or wrong about using any particular type or brand of blunt wrap. Whatever strikes your fancy is an absolutely perfect choice.
Are Blunt Wraps Better than Papers?
Whether blunt wraps or rolling papers are more desirable depends on what you’re looking for in your smoking experience. If you’re looking for a quick smoke, joint papers tend to burn faster and are a good option if you have somewhere to be and don’t have much time to spare. On the other hand, blunt wraps burn much more slowly, not to mention that they usually hold more dry herb. Blunt wraps are a good option for smoking with friends or having a relaxing and lowkey smoke session.
Neither choice is necessarily better than the other. It simply depends on your preferences, retail availability in your shop of choice, and what activities you’re getting up to during and after your smoke session.
