and not all (or even a majority) of us americans like blunts. I and many i know don't want any tobacco at all. The blunt thing here in the states seemed to have started in the hip-hop/urban community and they are quite the marketers....get one big name rapper rapping about smoking blunts and then you have a whole gerneration of smokers that feel that is the ultimate. I think we we a rap song about the Volcano!
i think it just made it 'mainstream'.....if you like em smoke em, i am just not a tobacco fan and i find the flavored ones (not swishers but the fruit flavored wraps and such) to just taste vile.....just my preference.
^ yea the wraps suck. I have only found one that tasted how it was supposed to taste and that was a maple syrup flavor one..but i didn't like it much anyway. I like a good old swisher,optimo, etc any day. I like cutting it..gutting it and filling it. Kind of a pre smoke ritual haha.
R the guys chatting about tobbacco here saying they put it in their blunts? I always thought the whole point of a blunt was to have it pure? ive never put tobbacco in my blunts. lol
I understand how some people turn their nose at a spliff with tobacco in the states, but will happily smoke a blunt. I am guilty of it myself. To me... it just taste different, and raw tobacco makes me cough like crazy. But, a blunt doesn't make me cough the same, prolly because it isn't exactly the same thing.
Since we are talking about blunts in the Headshops forum: Where can one find blunt wraps/blunts in the Dam? Brands such as True Blunt, Royal Blunts, Swisher Sweets, and so on...
I'm wit' you, Floid. I don't smoke tobacco as a "rule", but a blunt is a different experience all together, I feel. Used to roll fats all night long wit my NYC crew. Miss that, but blunts are gaining popularity here, esp. in the head shops that know some Americans LOVE em. Everybody has flavored wrapsm but for things like Swihsers (a personal fave) Dutchmasters, Phillies and what not, go to a proper tobacconist/cigar carrier (www.hajenius.nl) or cigarette shop. Better yet, stock up at home and bring them over. But remember to there a bunch of different ways to smoke, try a few you never have when in town.
I`ve actually got 2 blunt wraps sitting at home, that Ive not used (dont know how 2 roll a blunt) 1 of them is called True Blunt and the other is called Miami Blunt, any1 know if these are any good??
rolling a blunt is like riding a bike... just takes time.. I can remember destroying plently of blunts before I got a smokeable one. Let me tell you those trys before, oh what a nitemare...
not a huge fan of wraps pre packaged, I've used then when in a pinch..
