Everything You Need to Know About Blunt Etiquette
A blunt is a cigar that is slightly wider than a cigarillo, but not as wide as a corona. Blunt cigars consist of two parts, the inner leaf, which is made from tobacco and the outer part, which is rolled in a spiral around the inner leaf.
There are two common styles of blunt rolling, the Dutch style and the Philly style.
What you then do is remove the tobacco from inside and re-roll it with your chosen leaf, for example some type of herb.
Blunt smoking is usually carried out in groups or circles, commonly called ciphers, or ciphs. The passing of the cigar is usually done in a counter-clockwise direction, though the direction is open to individual choice. Since the smoking of blunts is done in ciphs, it is wise to follow some basic etiquette in these gatherings.
No Sleeping.
Sleeping on blunts actually means that someone is not smoking or passing it on.
This is wasteful and rude, so it is discouraged.
No Joking Please.
Humour is definitely discouraged during ciphs, especially when someone is taking a hit at the time. It can cause the smoker to hack and wheeze, which would be a waste of a good blunt.
Pass the blunt.
Blunts are smoked in ciphs and usually more than two people are involved. It is therefore a good idea to agree how many times a person can take a hit at any one time. It could be considered rude to take more than three hits, especially in a large group, so make sure you pass it on.
Chip in.
It’s customary to share some of your leaf or herb or donate money to the person who rolled the blunt.
Blunt rolling is a fun way to socialise or hang out with your friends. So, start rolling and start enjoying, but be sure to mind your manners at all times.
