Silver Rizla and Backflip all the way! Started it about 6 years ago and since then i cant even smoke a spliff normally rolled...doesnt taste right. Ive become so fussy i only smoke my own ones!! haha

Once you master the techinque of backflipping you will never roll a normal again. :D

Rizla thickness depends on scenario for me. A silver small-skin for savouring skunk of substantially superlative nature. A blue king-skin if I'm walking about outdoors where the wind could have its wicked way with a thinner paper.

I respectfully disagree buddy, I can roll backflip without any problems, It just makes no difference when your using such thin skins in the first place.
The same goes for rolling with the roach in the spliff, I can do that but it aint any easier than putting it in at the end, so I dont bother anymore.
Anyway, it dont matter how you roll em, as long as they get smoked :lol:

Blue Rizla Slim always backflipped. rolled with the roach in. At least 2 joint a day and up to 8-10 if the chill is on.

Now... Controversial... i am now using a product called 'zwister' with every spliff. its a little filter about 5mm long that fits over the end of your card roach. I notice no loss, of wreckedness or pull off the joint. but it stops any tiny bits getting in your mouth and more importantly filters a little of the tar out.... i started doing this due to the realisation that im smoking 10 cigs every few weeks (mixed in my spliffs) with no filter atall.. cant be good. I started by putting a swan filter in but that was CRAP it couldnt handle my spliffs and went seriously brown and disgusting. Then i found zwisters. Now i know some of you will dismiss this as bollocks and youd never filter your spliffs. but after 14 years of smoking bud every day it eases my mind a little. I think the product is great and doesnt effect the taste or pull atall.. try it you might like it...

2 wee skins, stuck together with the gum of a third, generally blue/green Rizla. Rolled straight, roach in at the end, twist and burn.

Will use the conventional 3-skin set up if I can't be arsed with precision gumming though.

On a side note: Dinara Safina's legs! :shock: They just gave you a slow-mo of her serve there. :lol:

I moved to the 'backroll' and rarely do otherwise anymore.

However, after a few times of rolling without orienting the paper correctly, I now avoid using the glue strip at all. A wet torn edge (where the excess paper is torn off) gives a sufficient seal whereas a cut edge will come unstuck when dried (without the glue).

Go on, try it.*

I cant say I notice not smoking the glue, but why use it if you don't need it?

*Warning. The occasional spliff will come apart - especially in the hands of friends. Though my failure rates are pretty low still. :D

please stop smoking "Smoking" papes. There was a big report about their papes which are a health-risk, in spain they were even taken to court for this reason, they can produce cancer. The only ones from Smoking which are usable are the "Eco" which are made from Hemp, all other papes they sell are a health-risk.
Seriously?

We used to use those things all the time when we were about 16, me and my mates loved them as they're so perfect to roll with and we just assumed they were better for you than the mass populated "Rizla" brand. Although, to be fair, at least 50% of the time we did use the Eco papers.

Still surprised that they're so bad for you.
