Smoking blunts has its advantages. They are slow burning, portable, familiar, and great for sharing. Blunts are traditionally rolled from emptied cigars, blunt wraps, or tobacco leaves. Hemp cones offer another option for cannabis users that like to smoke. Hemp cones are pre-rolled from natural hemp wraps, which means you don’t actually have to roll. Which is better? It depends on what effects you’re looking for. We’ll share some differences between blunts and cones to help you decide.
The cigar or wrap used for rolling blunts is made from tobacco. According to Cigar Aficionado, tobacco leaves are harvested, fermented, and cured before being rolled into cigars. Tobacco naturally contains nicotine, which can give the smoker a buzzy effect.
In contrast, hemp wraps are made from natural hemp paper. They don’t contain any nicotine which allows the user to experience only the effects of cannabis. This is good to note when smoking new cannabis strains. The buzzy feelings you’re experiencing may be from the cigar rather than the cannabis.
When cigars are smoked, they give off a strong odor. We’ve provided some ways to mask it, but it’s just the nature of the plant. Alternatively, hemp wraps don’t give such a strong odor when they burn. You may smell cannabis flower and a little paper, but it doesn’t linger like blunt smoke.
Blunt smokers know that the cigar or tobacco leaf you start with has a large impact on the blunt you end up with. It can be difficult to consistently roll blunts that burn evenly. It can feel like you’re wasting cannabis if the blunt doesn’t smoke right. Hemp wraps are pre-rolled which helps ensure an even burn.
