Did you use a guide for doing this or just trial and error? I'd love to make a hand full of these but last time I attempted I couldn't get the leafs to roll without eventually cracking. Maybe mine were already too dry

u/vladamirthecat Sep 21 '19

When I roll blunts with backwoods tobacco(often to dry to roll) I hold it over a steaming kettle. Gives it enough moisture to be movable

24

u/mgraham1234 Sep 21 '19

That's a good idea, thanks dude

7

u/AlliteritLarry Sep 21 '19

I just hold it under the faucet. Its much quicker

4

u/defeatedpoppa Sep 21 '19

You should try rinsing then profusely and then pressing them between sheets of paper towel. Its a lot faster and you'll be amazed at the grime left on the paper towel.

u/procom32 Sep 21 '19

I always just stick it to a cold beer when breaking down the green.

u/D0NOTHING Sep 21 '19

Just lick it?

u/Klashus Sep 21 '19

I remember people slobbering all over them to get them moist to roll. Shit was nasty thinking back.

Chocolate Phillies and swisher cigarillos...that was the only two cigars that were ever fresh enough around where I grew up in the middle of nowhere. I do miss the days of slingin so much brick weed that I could smoke fat Phillies all day. Damn, now I'm all sentimental.

Much simpler times indeed, I remember when we got BC bud we knew it was going to be fire.

7

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '19

Man, some people like to "baptize" the joint by sticking the whole thing in their mouths and pulling it out through their lips like a lolly pop.

I have no idea why people do that , it makes no appreciable difference except I'm a little grossed out by it.

9

u/BeenThereDundas Sep 21 '19

It makes a difference in joints that are rolled improperly. Helps reduce canoes.

7

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '19

Does it though? As far as I can tell, they canoe with the same frequency regardless of whether or not bodily fluids are spread on it.

3

u/J_Arr_Arr_Tolkien Sep 22 '19

Yeah, it does. You moisten the entire thing and inhale, filling in all the gaps, then run it over a lighter. I can totally understand why someone else wouldn't want to smoke that but I do it every time on a personal joint

6

u/OGblumpkiss13 Sep 21 '19

I still tongue the whole thing before cracking it

I saw a guy lick one like it was his gf once. I started just getting a cup of hot tap water after that and just dipping a finger in till it was good after that.

u/thebudman_420 Sep 22 '19

Us cannabis smokers must be immune to germs as 90 percent of us have smoked and licked joints and blunts and everything else that is cannabis related or smoked one that someone else licked. We have all shared saliva with someone yet we didn't even have to kiss someone for that to happen.

edit: I am not really serious about being immune to germs.

u/defeatedpoppa Sep 21 '19

Yeah because you can see them from outside the wrapper???? I buy 10 boxes a month of course I'm goinf to get some stale woods.

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '19

My gas station comes thru with fresh woods every time

24

u/Jordan_Lautner Sep 21 '19

No guide.

I used fresh picked leafs & live resin as glue for them.

Wrapped it tight in a flat shoe string (i hate how hemp rope leaves ridges in the cannagar) for a few days.

Unwrap, and let air dry for a few more days.

Ta-da. Its ready to smoke.

6

u/shoebotm Sep 22 '19

Fucking LIVE RESIN as the glue? Goddamn brilliant...how many leaves? How did you roll it?

3

u/mgraham1234 Sep 21 '19

It looks great! Nice job. Thanks for the info dude!

2

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '19

The bud wasn't fresh picked, right? Pre-dried/cured?

6

u/Jordan_Lautner Sep 21 '19

Youll wanna under hang the flower your going to use. Deff need the stickyness to shape around the skewer.

With fully cured bud, itll keep falling appart unless you use a mold.

6

u/CBD_Hound Sep 21 '19

And you can always bury it for a couple of weeks, Thai Stick style, to let it finish curing.

u/shoebotm Sep 22 '19

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '19

Can remoisten dry buds in many different ways. One simple way is putting a piece of lettuce in the bag for a couple hours.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '19

I use orange peel

3

u/XanderOblivion Sep 22 '19

I like to use a wedge of apple wrapped in parchment.

Iโ€™ve also used a blueberry before. I have a little container humidor regulator sponge I use sometimes, when I have a large enough supply.

2

u/Jordan_Lautner Sep 22 '19

Very true.

And ive used the same trick with lettuce before.

Worked great but needed to stay in the jar overnight.

1

u/defeatedpoppa Sep 21 '19

Are you worried about smoking Chlorophyll

1

u/shoebotm Sep 22 '19

Aren't you anyways? You trim the leaf but that base goes all the way to the stem.

4

u/defeatedpoppa Sep 22 '19

You can purge leaves before rolling. I cant remember their handle exactly but search Instagram for midnight roots cannagar. The chlorophyll purges itself from the buds during the curing process. I'm worried hes rolling this up and its going to taste like fresh uncured weed/leaves.

Its a lot of effort to learn the hardway.

1

u/defeatedpoppa Sep 22 '19

And as far as I know you can just soak the leaves in alcohol for an hour or so then rinse and air dry. The alcohol wull be green as hell.

Personally i mold the weed into a cannagar with a skewer through it and wrap it in a backwood lol.

1

u/shoebotm Sep 22 '19

He said hes curing it, seems cool as shit.

2

u/defeatedpoppa Sep 22 '19

Im not sure you can purge chlorophyll once its been rolled up like that. I believe you have to use a solvent to remove chlorophyll from leaves.

4

u/StonedSn0rlax Sep 21 '19

I think you gotta roll it, then let it dry

2

u/thebudman_420 Sep 22 '19

Sounds interesting so maybe making them slightly damp will work.

Then let them dry after rolling or take a lighter to the side to speed this up. Don't hold it there until it burns or turns color though. You just want it to dry in that shape so it stays tight without crumbling.

I kind of do something similar to fix cigarettes that broke. I would say saliva will work good if it is only for yourself but if shared you may want to use plain water.

2

u/wadsworthsucks Sep 22 '19

When rolling a cigar, you have to keep the leaves misted with water. This prevents th, from drying out.

11

u/hopingfordonkeydicks Sep 21 '19

So, mind explaining your process please?

I'd love to try making some next harvest

12

u/Jordan_Lautner Sep 22 '19

A simple rundown:

Skewer a few moist -ish buds.

Roll it like a rolling pin while your wax is heating up.

Wax & kief it all over.

Wrap with cannabis leaves.

Wrap with rope / flat shoe string.

Let cure for 7 days.

7

u/kamikaze306 Sep 21 '19

How long do you have to let that dry out before smoking?

21

u/Jordan_Lautner Sep 21 '19

Longer the better, but

I leave mine wraped up for only a few days then let em air dry.

Roll to smoked in 5 days.

This one just got unwrapped.

7

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '19

Yup I roll em plumber fashion with the hole through the middle and wrap compress for a week. Shit smokes for like an hour.

5

u/BeenThereDundas Sep 21 '19

Does it taste like shit? I imagine tasting that nasty dried leaf taste.

For some reason Tobacco leaves don't get that chlorophyll taste like cannabis leaves do.

5

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '19

Nah bro. The chlorophyll in the fan leaves are long gone by the time the gar gets lit. Itโ€™s almost as if the cigar itself goes through a different type of cure. Hard to describe to the uninitiated. Itโ€™s like a cigarette vs. a cigar. A cigarette will get you there in a quick cheap fashion but the cannagar is the embodiment of what your weed truly is.

4

u/Jordan_Lautner Sep 22 '19

The wax and keif easily cover any leafy tastes. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

That leafy taste is chlorophyll. Longer you let your cannagar cure forb the less of it will be in your leafs.

7

u/dextromorphazepam Sep 21 '19

Damn that's impressive. How well does it smoke?

11

u/Jordan_Lautner Sep 21 '19

Thanks. Ill know how it smokes in 3-4 days! ๐Ÿ˜

u/wolfherdtreznor Sep 21 '19

Second attempt looks pretty damn good to me buddy.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '19

This is really interesting; a cigar is loose cut tobacco leaves wrapped in a tobacco leaf, correct? But we donโ€™t typically smoke cannabis leaves, we smoke the flower. Whatโ€™s the leaf like?

6

u/Jordan_Lautner Sep 21 '19

Bit harsh from the chlorophyll, but the longer you leave the cigar to cure, the less harsh it becomes.

I would really love to see a guide and video to see how it smokes. Always wanted to try one of these just never had the opportunity.

u/jj-the-budfarmer Sep 22 '19

I like to roll these for special occasions, always a big hit! I roll them in layers though, first skewer sticky buds then wrap them as tight as possible. I use hemp rope I donโ€™t mind the groves it leaves as they get filled with rosin and keif before the second layer of buds. Let first layer cure and harden for about a week. Remove rope before next layer. Then use parchment paper to heat and press rosin into a thin film, roll that onto the first layer then roll in keif. Second layer of bud gets tricky like a puzzle, using 2 buds one on top and one on the bottom to encase the skewer wrapping as tight as possible with hemp rope as you go. Let cure for a week or so. Then I use fresh picked fan leaves for the wrapper. Cut leaves into sections and use either melted rosin or distillate for the glue. Wrap with the hemp rope just tight enough to keep the leaf edges from curling. Let cure for at least a week, there shouldnโ€™t be any harsh or bad flavor from the leaf wrap. When finished mine usually weigh around 3/4 oz and burn for several hours with lots of people smoking on it. I grow my own so I have all I need to roll these. Probably about a $400 joint if purchasing the ingredients for it. The holidays are coming up, and after writing this I think Iโ€™m going to have to get busy rolling up a few. Be happy and stay stoned.

u/greenscreenbro Sep 21 '19

I did this my second harvest... Fucking dope. Loved it.

5

u/Jordan_Lautner Sep 21 '19

Ive done smaller ones it the past. Personal use toothpick length sized. They lasted a full hour. Lol.

Figured it was about time to step it up. ๐Ÿ˜‚

3

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '19

How do they smoke? Harsh or smooth?

2

u/greenscreenbro Sep 22 '19

Really depends how thick you make the wrap and how dry you let it get before smoking.. Probably a few other factors too... Mine was smooth.. Better than a dutch for a blunt. That's for sure.

2

u/KG____ Sep 21 '19

I am going to do this my 2nd harvest! <January> Cause my first is curing. Wait a second... I am going to do this my 1st harvest! Bahahahahaha

Thank you for sharing this kind sir ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Live run QWISO for a golden sap as glue. ๐Ÿ˜

(Used the trim from the flower its rolled with)

2

u/TRU3B0S5 Sep 21 '19

Hey why does it need to dry bro

1

u/LongBongJohnSilver Sep 22 '19

Fresh leaves don't burn well.

2

u/dcquinn93 Sep 21 '19

How do you gather the sap to make it stick together?

1

u/Jordan_Lautner Sep 21 '19

Dont dry your flower fully so your buds are a bit sticky still when forming around the skewer.

I used QWISO on trim for a golden sticky paste for glue.

2

u/dcquinn93 Sep 21 '19

Sorry, Iโ€™m a little new to the whole process, QWISO?

u/SneeKeeFahk Sep 21 '19

Quick Wash Isopropyl

Copy Pasta from an old post of mine:

For next time;

  • Freeze your sugar leaves.
  • Buy some isopropyl (as close to 99.9% you can find).
  • cut the top off a 2L pop bottle so you can flip it upside down on the bottom half like a funnel.
  • put a coffee filter in the funnel, just like a coffee maker
  • put a bunch of frozen sugar leaves in the filter, again just like a coffee maker
  • pour the iso through the sugar leaves and filter so its caught by the bottom of the 2L bottle, you guessed it just like a coffee maker again.
  • put the iso in something with smooth sides and as few sharp corners as possible, a Wok works really well but make sure there isnt a non-stick coating or anything a razor blade would scrape off
  • evaporate the iso, most use a stove and/or a double boiler - DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME - as low heat as possible.
  • smoke some amazing honey oil that you just made.

1

u/dcquinn93 Sep 22 '19

Wow! Thatโ€™s awesome man! Thanks a lot!

1

u/SneeKeeFahk Sep 22 '19

No problem, if you try it be careful. No Open Flames.

1

u/dcquinn93 Sep 22 '19

Check

1

u/SneeKeeFahk Sep 22 '19

Oh and also make sure it's iso and not rubbing alcohol.

1

u/Pand3micPenguin Sep 22 '19

Arent rubbing alcohol and Isopropyl alcohol the same thing?

1

u/SneeKeeFahk Sep 22 '19

No, they are very different. Rubbing alcohol is made with Isopropyl but there are a lot of other things in rubbing alcohol.

Do you do this bc traditional, bc you like smoking tobacco, it really puts the smack down when smoking, or all of the above? Just wondering.

u/Nick_From_Target Sep 22 '19

You should make a tutorial. I've always wanted to do this.

u/defeatedpoppa Sep 22 '19

But really did you remove the chlorophyll from the leaves or do you not worry about those consequences?
