HOW TO ROLL BACKWOODS?

Backwoods are cigars that are somewhat between a cigarillo and a front leaf. This are rolled differently than most cigars. Instead of a piece of pressed tobacco paper or some other type of cigar wrapper, Backwoods use a single, all-natural tobacco leaf on the outside. Backwoods came into existence because of the changing tobacco laws in the 70’s. The law made it challenging to advertise tobacco as people became aware of the health problems that it causes. To allure this, Backwoods created and branded little cigars that could still be advertised on television while avoiding the new laws and still being able to reach the target audience. Backwoods are the most expensive wrap to use when rolling blunts. They are rolled differently than most cigars. It is not needed to cut down the middle of the cigar like most traditional cigars. All you need to do is undo the Backwoods cigar until you get the tightly packed tobacco to spill out all at once. Backwoods are available in several popular sizes and flavors like original, honey, honey berry, honey bourbon, sweet aromatic etc. There are also few blends that are limited edition- dark stout and banana flavors.

Backwoods blunt gives you a unique smoking experience that is rarely found in typical smokes. This is very popular among the cannabis purists, who are looking for a clean experience free of chemicals, pesticides, and heavy metals. Backwoods blunts have grown in popularity over the past few years. Backwoods are different, and only smokers with a high sense of satisfaction and appreciation for tasting excellent flavor look for it. Backwoods is not about getting high, but is more about feeling different and pleasant.

If you have experience of rolling a blunt before, then you probably are familiar with the frustration involved with it. If you face such frustration, then take a moment to regroup and take it slow. For making a Backwoods blunt, you would need to work with raw tobacco leaves instead of cigar papers. These are much more fragile than tobacco paper. Firstly, you are required to break up your weed by hand, for a smooth smoke, or use a grinder for ease of rolling. Set your weed aside, and then remove the wrap from the tobacco. To do this, you need to locate the natural split that divides the blunt along its length. You then need to carefully undo the split all the way from one end of the cigar to the other. Then carefully unroll the cigar to remove the wrap from the tobacco. Once the tobacco is removed, you need to carefully place the wrap on a flat surface. After this, lick or moisten the inside of the wrap. If the outside remains dry, then moistening the outer side as well. After this, you need to fill the center of the wrap with cannabis. If you use small, hand-picked buds, you will get a smoother smoke than using a grinder. In the next step, you need to start rolling the wrap with cannabis, pressing the plant material into a tight cylinder. You should preferably use a flat surface for additional pressure while rolling the blunt. As you get to the end of the roll, you will see that a piece of the wrap will be hanging at an angle. Lick or moisten that piece, and then use it to seal your blunt. You then should wait for the blunt to dry (or use an external heat source), and finally have a great smoke.
